Another Husqvarna 9.3x62

[Shootinshyster]

This one is a 1600 series. The date on the barrel is 1961 and the receiver serial number dates from 1967.

The scope is a fixed power Leupold from the early 1990s. This was another one of the Guns of Sven.

This rifle is very comfortable to shoot and after I find it, I will go and take more pictures.

Lovely! What is the magazine capacity of these Huskies? I have a slot for a 9.3mm on my license and trying to decide what direction to go in.

Five rounds

Thats a really nice rifle. Is it the original stock? Much higher grade than my 1640

All CRF Mauser based rifles in standard bolt face cartridges are five round

If you every visit Sweden make sure you visit the, Husqvarna factory museum. The arms section has a great display of Husqvarna gun production over it's long history. The motor bike section is well worth a look as well.
I was lucky enough to have a guided tour of the gun workshop in 1985 when they were making the last of the hand made shotguns.

I even have an old cast iron hand turn mincer from them!

Funnily enough there is a section dedicated to the hand cranked mincer with the machinery they were made on. They show a video of the casting of the mincers body. No wonder many of those men never reached a ripe old age. I was fascinated by the sewing machine section. Some of those machines are a work of art. A visit to the museum is time well spent.

I really want to visit the Husqvarna museum. And then I want to go to Eksjö and sing the song

100% - I visited Sweden years ago and made damn sure I didn’t miss it. Probably the best museum I’ve been to, spent hours there. I love cast iron stuff, the rifles were awesome to see. Would love a Husky sewing machine, they’re such high tolerance tools - they make even high tech guns look crude. Always been a Stihl man when it comes to saws though

Still annoyed I didn’t get to Gransfors Bruks though

They have a display of boxwood patterns for some of the cast iron stuff they made. The skill and workmanship is amazing. I would love to have those on display in my house.
