Great video RC. I've got myself a 1950 manufacture FN Model 50 in .30-06, and also a 1911 manufacturer Carl Gustav Model 96/38 in 6.5x55. The Belgians and Swedes really know how to build a rugged, smooth, and incredibly accurate rifle.
you and USOG are my go to UA-cam channels for quality rifles both impress me with the quality you both bring to the forefront not some plastic mall ninja want to be bs
Great pronunciation of Husqvarna (hoosk-varna) it means mill-house! I have a Husqvarna 640 M/98 in 8x57. Superb rifle and calibre. Greetings from North Sweden.
the crack at the rear tang happens on ALL wood and some synthetic rifles that are not properly relieved there. there should be a GAP between the wood and the metal of about 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. with recoil the tang acts as a wedge...get out the dremel......also check and tighten the action screws every so often
640 is the series of the rifle, the last didgit is calibre, for example 649 is 9,3x62 and the 646 is 6,5x55.
WOW, Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G major. Love it!!!
The WEAVER Fits The Rifle.
I love the Older WEAVERS!
Beautiful Rifle You got there!
I own 1942 Husqvarna 6.5 x 55 bought it as a surplus for 59.00 Canadian in -82 barrel was full grease and it was still wrapped in factory wrapping, on the stock there is a brass plate that had a word overslag ( oversize ) and triangular punch mark on 0 which meant that barrel was a "0" clearance barrel I hunted many years with open sight mainly deer and finally put a good scope on it, I have no problem shooting 3/4 inch grouping of the sand bag @ 100 yards with factory loads and even better with my own, those rifles were well ahead of their time in quality and accuracy, I am also a competitive shooter and I can honestly say that right out of the factory for 1942 the best rifle for the money have never missed and longest shot deer fell @ 380 yards ! Thank you for the video certainly informs many hunters of the good old husky's !
I believe overslag means "hold over" from when they changed from a round nose to a spitzer bullet. They put decal or plate on the stock stating how much hold over or angle to use. the round disc/triangle punch would have the condition of the bore info.
Cool, I have two 1943 6.5mm that I bought from La Barons, T.O...then proceeded to sport them...I think they were 79.00... in hindsight, I should of left them as is...
Great video riflechair , on a not so common sporting rife. Love all of your videos. Thank you!
That's a gorgeous Rifle, I love the scope mount. Perfect in every way.
Nice video. A friend has one almost exactly the same as yours. He has an old Weaver scope on it. It shoots great. Almost kept up with my PU sniper. I was getting 1 1/2" groups with his and pulled off less than 1" with my PU at 100m. Love Swedish, Finnish, Danish, etc.. rifles. I have a nearly new 1943 Husky M43 that keeps up with my 1900 M96. I recently had to choose between a Danish M69 (K98 action) and a Carl Gustaf M63.I went with the CG63 with a GF diopter. What a rifle! I'm getting 1" groups at 100m every single groups with good handloads. Can't wait to get it to the Military base range and try it at 600m.I like that you do a very wide selection of rifles to feature.I also love old firearms and appreciate rifles like this.Great information. I learned some interesting facts about this rifle.Thanks!
Enjoyed the video but I do have a question, is the collar or shoulder inside the receiver slotted on the left side as well as on the right side for the extractor? According to Frank de Haas in his book Bolt Action Rifles, FN started to cut a slot on the left side of the collar at some point to simplify machining of the receiver.
Your are correct about the 4x Weaver Scope I believe all of the steel Weaver scopes were made in El Paso, Texas.
Keep up the good work.
Sweet rifle! I have a JC Higgins 51-L in .270 Winchester. It has the "improved" Mauser action. To me it's reminder to when you could order a hunting rifle from the sears catalogue. I am the same way I like control round feed Mauser actions. If I were to buy a modern bolt action rifle it's going to be a Winchester model 70 pre 64 type that they currently manufacturer. It's tough to beat a mauser. Mine is also drilled and tapped for the Lyman peep sight. I know what you mean about the stock. My rifle is going to get a new stock and re-blued. I am digging boyds. I know with my rifle the barrel is chrome lined and made by high standard.
I have the "H-5000" from Sears in 30-06. Gunsmith I bought it off tried telling me it wasnt actually a Husqvarna haha. I then researched the stamps and realized it very much was! I am also considering a boyds conversion, small world!
I owned a FN Mauser built for H&R in 30-06 . It was the most accurate rifle I've ever owned. I could consistently shoot 3" to 4" groups at 300 with a cheap tasco 4 power scope. I lived in Alaska at the time and when I left in 96 I let a buddy talk me out of it. I've always regretted selling that rifle. It looked very similar to the Husqvarna you have there nothing fancy but a great rifle. Have you ever seen a H&R like this? I can't find one anywhere? I'd love to get another one. Very interesting that they put the Swede barrel on that. Thanks
Have a early(1939?) 4 number serial, 640 FN98 coming next week in 8mm...and a field guage comming as well. I would also like to add a 9.3x62 as I cant afford a 45-70, just because lol
I suspect that sometime in the rifles past that the rifle was re-barreled.
Great vid!
I've got a line on one of these with the original barrel in .270. If I get my tax refund before it sells, will be my dream gun!
No Idea what year it was made, but looks just like yours, same floorplate. Was wondering how that button worked, now I know!
Any idea if Sweden bought the barreled action, or just the action and installed their own barrels?
Would be kinda cool to think it's a Belgian action with a renowned Swedish barrel.
Riflechair this one video is what I've been searching the internet for for many months.you have been answering my questions. I've been looking at tradeexcanada website and I've been wanting to get one of their Husqvarna rifles. THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!!
The last number in the model series refer to the caliber according to the metric system: 646= 6,5x55, 648= 8x57IS and 649= 9,3x62
Awesome - I did not know that!. Thank you
I own one and its beautiful. It has a light colored Beech Alaskan Moose killer!
I've got an interesting post war FN large ring .30-06 Mauser that has a Micro grooved barrel and Sako trigger, but no Marlin markings. Could be a 455, but has no iron sights or remnants of such, an under-cut checkered bolt knob, side mounted safety, and if one goes by Marlin serial number data, should have been built in 1952. Micro groove rifling didn't appear until something like 1957. Most curious in that it doesn't appear to be cobbled.
I think you mean 1950s Sako Mauser. I have one in 8.2 -57is
With that fancy music, I was expecting Mr Hudson to introduce you. (upstairs, downstairs reference)
That show is a friendly reminder of what class separation really means.
Bueler makes a wing safety which allows using a scope
IDK for sure but would guess the shank is just threaded for the large ring. The barrel blank was probably never milled down to a small ring thread. You can take a large ring shank and have it milled/threaded into a small ring. I had a barrel made in 9.3 intending to have my smith chamber it in 9.3X62 and it was to have a small ring shank/threading. I changed my mind and had the barrel maker short chamber it also.....well they decided on their own to thread it for a large ring......thankfully my smith just cut that large ring down to a small ring and it works great on my swedish mauser action. Husqvarna, Stiga, Kimber of Oregon chambered many small ring swedish mauser actions in 9.3X62,. 30-06, .308 etc. ....so please no comments about K98 3rd lug (which is NON BEARING, so they are essentially a TWO LUG action also).
Absolutely...I'm considering a stiga 9.3 in a 96 but ring not drilled or tapped...whatcha think?
The easy and affordabble fix for the scope-safety interference could be a sniper safety or K98 Sicherung Scharfschütze - it is lower height and extends further backwards. Working on a 98 trigger is easy - two humps to file - smoothing the surface they ride on - ceramic paste; there should be tutorials available.
I have a Weaver 2 × 7 wide view scope that is on my late Grandfather's Remington 700 BDL 30-06 that he left me . still can shoot > 1° groups with his hand loads that I also still use .
Do you know if the FN 98 With no strip clip thumb cut out uses a large mid or small ring receiver? Thank you very much loved videos👍
The commercial 98's made by FN are also large ring.
@Riflechair Thank you very much. I'm i'm the horns of a dilemma looking at an FN 98 in 9.3x62 Whether or not I should buy it or buy an Argentina 1909 98 receiver and build a 9.3x62 for safari Thank you very much love the videos👍
@@davidhomen6204 That is indeed a tough one. I'd personally go with the 1909 they are highly sought after, super smooth, incredible craftsmanship (when in good condition). Having said that the FN 98 is the working man's mauser and they are damn good actions.
@Riflechair I'm trying to spend an arm in the leg. building one is gonna be roughly $1000. The FN is $450. But I have to pay to have it imported into my country. So I'm guessing that's gonna be another $200.
I have the exact scope. I might put it on my commercial mauser , centurion 123 30.06. The wide angle 6x scope.
I had a Rem 700 in 308WIN...damn thing drove me bat shit crazy. Bloody thing would not hold zero or group. I traded it in for Tikka T3 30-06. Love the Tikka.
Yep, yes and oh yea. What you said..! Birds of a feather.
They would have used a threaded bushing to sleeve down to the smaller barrel shank. A steel tube threaded inside and out, these can be made on a lathe.
I noticed those same two plugged holes on my Interarms Mark X rifle and had wondered what they were for, thanks for clearing that up!
Michael Brooker That sounds like it would be a lot of effort, trials and tribulations to effect.
@@Riflechair I have a mental image of Larry Potterfield showing how to do it in a Midway USA video, making it look easy as only he can. It's an everyday machinist's task, those people seem to be able to fabricate anything with a lathe and milling machine.
IDK, but i'd bet $5 that it is just a large ring thread. I can't believe that these smart people would make it that complicated. I get that a bushing with outside and inside threading could be made .....BUT WHY??? just thread it for large ring .@@michaelbrooker1433
Beautiful Rifle.
Did you ever figure out what model it is? I have the EXACT same rifle and cannot figure out what model or year of production. Mine is in 8x57IS
If the caliber is 6,5x55 swede then you are the proud owner of a Husqvarna FN 98 646.
Do you need high scope rings to be compatible with the military flag safety? I was considering mounting a scope with low rings and keeping the safety on fire. Either carry with magazine loaded and empty chamber, or round in chamber with striker decocked. Mine is a ‘48 M98 640 in 8x57. It has the express style flip up sights. Was considering leaving it unscoped, but I hear the accuracy is so good that scoping it will take advantage of the potential with handloads. Thinking Nosler 200gr partitions.
Nosler 200gr is a great choice. I agree with your eval of the safety. One just needs to be smart about it. There are a lot of low flag safety options out there too that aren't very expensive to consider as well.
These are literally some of the best rifles that you can get for the money in my opinion. Sometimes you can find them with the steel Lyman sights on them. As good as the pre-64s for way less money.
Does anybody know where you can buy a Norinco JW-20 online? I love the gun design but the Browning version is way to expensive. I cant find one anywhere. Are they not being made anymore?
Can not go wrong with real steel, real wood and a real cartridge.
46=small ring 96, but 146 and 246=large ring 98 so no confusion.
Thank you Mr. Suhl!
I just bought a m96 sporter for $260. 1moa all day long. how does your large ring Mauser shoots.
You should look also Sako Mausers ( FN action ,micro rifling ...1950...
Oh yes - I have been admiring those sako mausers for a long time however I have not liked the price tag. The Belgian FN Deluxe models are also out of my grasp. Thank goodness for the Husqvarna because without them I'd never be able to afford one without it being a fluke.
@@Riflechair Yes . So true .
Contact between barrel and stock is bad for accuracy.It must be free space betwen .You need free floated barrel.
It depends on barrel length and barrel diameter. A long skinny whippy barrel needs some contact at the end to make the barrel whip consistent. A short, larger diameter barrel can be free floated because it doesn't whip as much. The Lee Enfield as well as the Swiss K31 both use pressure bedding at the tip of the fore ends.
'98 = TIMELESS
I have a widefield 2x7 really like it, have it on a 700bdl .308
The rifle looks very similar to the Husqvarna 1600 model, which is the "civilian" version of the FN military Husqvarna. I am 90% sure, that what you have there is a 1600 or a 1640 model.
Johannes Bollmann the 1600 is a small ring 98. The FN is a large ring 98. Thus my confusion how they screwed a small ring barrel onto this receiver. I suspect they sleeved the threads.
@@Riflechair I have a 1950's 1600 in 30.06 myself... It is beyond compare. Reliable, light weight, dead accurate. Have mounted a Swarowski Z6I 2-12x50 on a weaver montage and fitted a Schultz Larsen Silencer... I'll never part with it. You wouldn't get a better rifle for the same amount that you can get a Husqvarna for
.
100% it is not a 1600 it is an fn Mauser.
Nice Fire Blanket.
The Austin Doell thanks. A window into my past.
Where do you get your 6.5x55 all I can find is high quality hunting ammo for $59 a box in Alberta
Dylan Meier Tradex Canada usually has some descent prices. Or SRFC
TradeEx where he got rifle carries inexpensive 6.5x55 and likely Riflechair will reload.
I have a big ring 98 modell 46 from 1941
The death of the Husqvarna rifle production was a shrinking national market (most hunters already had high-quality guns), competitive prices from low-cost nations, and low margins on the guns. Husqvarna is an old company, they have made a lot of products throughout the years and have stayed in business by not being sentimental. If they can make more money by dumping a product category and make something else they will. Husqvarna is all about a broad and highly adaptive product portfolio. If it makes sense for them to make guns again they will.
I keep hearing large/small ring mauser what exactly are they talking about? Enjoyed the video
1LRLRG Large ring = Cock on open, Small ring = Cock on close
Thanks kept hearing the two but no one every said what the difference was. Have a husk in 6.5 sporterized military and quite like it.
So small ring stands for the Mauser 96, the Swedish military rifle (like what the picture at 7:36 looks like) and large ring for the Mauer 98, the German one?
Small rings include the 1893/1916 Spanish Mauser, the 1895 Chilean Mauser, and the 1896 Swedish Mauser. Large rings include the 1898 German Mauser, the 1903 Turkish Mauser, the 1924/1948 Yugoslavian Mauser, Karabiner 98K, and the 1903 Springfield.
Not a red dot in sight!
TAKE OUT THE TINY AP. , GO GHOST RING , YOUR FOREHEAD SAYS THANKS . :-)
That is a beauti mate.
You need to shoot this rifle at differrent ranges and post the vid please...
I have one that’s not split
Wow, cool video. Thanks. I have a Mauser Model 95 Cavalry Carbine.
You are miss informed. Death nail lol. Politics killed Husqvarna. Do some more research.
Source? Sounds interesting.
@@Riflechair Sweden turned to socialism in the 30s. They have a cradle to grave employment policy. Companies have to take care of employees forever. It became to expensive so they sold the rifle division to FVV which is owned by the government. Which pickup the cost. Then it faded away. Equipment was sold to Zoli.
