The HVA 'Improved Mauser' is NOT a short action, it's a 'US standard length' action, which uses the same trigger guard bolt pattern as the standard Mauser 98, but it's a Small Ring action. The Model 1651 Special is not common at all. Husqvarna stamped the serial numbers on the left side of the barrels just ahead of the receiver. This holds true for the bolt action rifles from the M46 through the 1900 series of rifles. This method was due to Swedish regulations for civilian rifles.Īll factory barreled actions had the serial number stamped on the barrel as noted above along with the Husqvarna logo as a proof mark, and at least 'Husqvarna Vapenfabrics Aktiebolag' along the top of the barrel. If your rifle does not have these then it is not a factory installed barrel. #Husqvarna rifles serial numbers serial number#Ī serial number on the action was not required in the US until the Gun Control Act of 1968, well after most of the Husqvarna rifles were made. Leupold only makes one base to fit the action and it's their only 'standard' base for the 1640/1600/1651 familly. They call it 'Husqvarna, Carl Gustav and Crown Grade' and the base model is STD-HC 49989. Redfield are just the same by now as they're the same company. Husqvarna manufactured the Model 1900 in the HVA Gunworks, serial numbers 350000 – 378607 One can also buy 'blank bases' and have it machined to fit receiver. #Husqvarna rifles serial numbers serial numbers# #Husqvarna rifles serial numbers series#.#Husqvarna rifles serial numbers serial number#.#Husqvarna rifles serial numbers serial numbers#.
