I bought my last Husqvarna rifle two weeks ago, an FN Mauser 98 action, a model 650 rifle in the caliber 8x57. It was a new 1640 action and stamped model 1640 on the barrel. I bought my first Husqvarna rifle in 1967. The stock looks to have cut and padded but is a nice piece of wood. Your stock and likely the barrel belongs to a Husqvarna model 1970 rifle, the action model 1900. Husqvarna' s rifle business was sold to Carl Gustaf in 1970, and this model 1970 continued until about 1980. The barrel on the 3,6,700 and this model 1970 had no typical banded rear sight or barrel band swivel stud, as previous rifles did.

The bolt shroud was rounded and the safety was a sliding tang on the right side of the rear of the receiver. It had a short extractor that fit into a slot milled into the bolt, similar to the Sako extractor, and a spring loaded plunger type of ejector. This action was a sharp departure from all previous Mauser based models. On it was built rifle model 1970, they hit the market here about 1969. A redesign of that action, actually a whole new action, was called the 1900. Those rifle models werethe 3000, 6000, and the mag was the 7000. This was first done in the first Husqvarna action made by Husqvarna, in Sweden. Husqvarna chambered for the 7mm Remington mag for the first time in the early 1960's. The last model was a different action (m1900) and also would be a different barrel thread. This one was made in the 1960's and the barrel for it is different than the m94/96 or the FN m98 action. I think the only action to include a 7mm Rem mag caliber was the rifle model 3000, which was on the Husky made model 1640 action. You'll need to do some research to find out what you actually have there. The Husqvarna Vapenfabrik marking makes me think it was older m96 or m98 action. If it is/was an original Husqvarna rifle on a older Mauser action, in 7mm it is likely a 7圆1 S&H, possibly rechambered to 7 Rem mag. I don't think Husky ever made a 7mm Remington mag in an FN action, if that's what you have. I have one here I'll post a picture tonite so you can compare the receiver. If you have an action and it says made in Belgium on the left side wall, then it is M98 (FN), it will likely have SWEDEN stamped on the top of the front ring. All Huskys are Mauser type actions, but all aren't M98's. If you need a bolt, you need to know if the action is a M96 small ring, or M98 (FN), large ring. If you need an action it will cost about $500, complete with the bolt assembly, trigger and magazine with bottom metal. Is there a magazine and trigger with this stock and barrel? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advanceDo you have just a stock and barrel or do you have a receiver without a bolt assembly? I can't imagine why you would buy just a barrel and stock without the action? Unless of course you have an action. Anyone have suggestion on this, such where to find a barrel and action combo or separate pieces? Anyone every had luck getting something like this assembled? I think the receiver & bolt action assay I need to find is a mauser-type actions, but I am not completely sure. However, I only got the stock and barrel - both in great shape. I picked up a Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Ab Nitro 7mm Rem at a yard sale. You've got a nice project there, not the first time that I've had a project where it's a case of the tail wagging the dog! Didn't mention headspace, either, and that may mean having the barrel set back and a new chamber cut. Some Mausers will slip right together, others the barrel won't index up right, and the fit between the inner and outer shoulder has to be spot on for the thing to work right. The easiest way to score a useable action is to check the pawns for a Daly or Mark X commercial rifle in a magnum cartridge with a bad bore or finish issues.Īny way you elect to go, you'll be better off going to a gunsmith to have the thing put together. Next up is opening the bolt rails to feed the fat case, and most likely adding some length to the magazine box. There are good military M98 Mausers out there, BUT.there's also a bunch of work in the conversion! First up is that you'll have to open the bolt face to take the magnum rim size, and alter the extractor. I've not heard a lot of good said about their customer service.but I've also never dealt with them, personally, so can't say for sure. Sarco lists Husqvarna's, and if that is the way you elect to go, good luck!
