“But the target thinks I’m using a scope.” I enjoy your videos and your dry humour. Thanks dude
Thank you for being here my friend.
I inherited a CG 1900 Lux (30-06) made 1972 after my father. Its a great rifle.
I have heard that one of the things that make Husqvarnas so good is the quality of the steel that is manufactured in Sweden and used to build the rifles. I've been told it's the best steel used by any manufacturer.
Hi Greg - I have no doubt there is no better rifle than a Husqvarna Mauser.
Finnish gun factories like tikka and sako, used swedish steel from the 1930s onwards as it was the best available. Finnish mosin nagant barrels for example were made of this steel. Post war, all finnish gun makers, started using this steel, not just for barrels, but for every part found in their guns! Tikka m55, m65 and sako L579 are great finnish examples of this steel, put into good use.
From some finnish war time documents I've read, there was disputes over using steel of worse quality for barrels, as it took way longer to machine barrels, from this much harder swedish steel, compared to some "lesser" steels. In the end army rifle depots, concluded that the barrel life, offered by the superior swedish steel, more than made up for the long machining time it required, as barrels made of worse steels, would have lead into the army needing more infrastructure, which didn't exist, nor could be build, in tight war time economy, to produce bigger amounts of replacement barrels for all weapons ranging from pistols to heavy machineguns.
Thought this might be of interest for you. :)

If it is the Swedish steel from Kiruna, it is the best steel ever manufactured, because of the high degree of purity. I have read elsewhere that 80 per cent of the European main battle tanks are made of the Swedish steel from Kiruna. The town Kiruna was actually built with the only purpose of the mining, and now they are moving the town in order to continue the mining under the town, undermining the land.
I know I'm late but one thing from ww2 is Germany bought a large quantity of their steel for the war effort from the swedish and was one of the reasons Sweden was able to remain neutral during the war.
I'm not sure of the quality but I'm definitely going to agree if Germany went with at least a portion of steel from them.
The first one you presented is a model 1900 CG the best rifle ever made. Scandinavias most preferred hunting rifle. from long before all the straight pulls.
The Mauser style Husqvarna Imperial Grade is gorgeous. The 30-06 is and always, in my opinion, will be the measuring stick of all cartridges. I don’t know a more versatile cartridge. What other cartridge can be loaded down for rabbits, and up to African game effectively. It is one of if not the masterpiece cartridge. I could be biased a touch.
30-06 is best cartridge.
I have always been a 30.06 fan myself. So many good guns chambered for it and so much good factory ammo around for it. My grandfather hunted all over the world in the late 40's and 50's and he told me stories of working on a Govt. job at a small Airport / rocket launching facility in Manitoba right on the Hudson bay in 1950. Said he hunted, Polar Bear, Caribou, Geese , Ducks, seals with a borrowed 12 gauge and a Army Surplus 30.06 P17 Enfield he bought for $14.00. I still have the gun to this day.
Swedish rifle craftsmanship some of the finest in the world what a great heritage!
Hi darren - I agree - Sweden can make the best.
Fantastic review Sir. I got two CG1900 made in Sweden. One 9,3x62 from my uncle and a 30-06 from my father. Now looking for a 6,5x55 Cg1900 Sporter. Fantastic guns
Beautiful Rifles Sir, I like all 4 of them. God Bless
All beautiful, but my goodness, that Stiga just reeks of elegance. I am smitten!
There are several YT channels of which I am a fan or a follower; yours is one of only a scant few for which I am truly grateful. Thank you, sir!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful collection of Swedish rifles, Mike. Glad you brought out the Model 96. The only Swedish rifle I own is an original military version of an M96 Carl Gustaf in 6.5 x 55. It was manufactured in 1919 the royal crown insignia engraved on the receiver ring.
Incredibly accurate rifles as well. I have two M96 FSR rifles outfitted with diopters
@@alanb2845 Yes indeed!
Great topic. Thank you for the classy work you do.
Thanks Donald.
Thanks for your always interesting videos, very informative and entertaining.
Thanks Robert
I have a CG96 in 30-06 and love it! great video, thanks!
Magnificent rifle.
Excellent and good review. Greetings from Sweden.
I get to see rifles that I never new about. I really enjoy my 700 Remington over here across the pond. No doubt nearly everything is in line of the Mauser lineage. I would still like a Ruger#1. I watch this production often. Great service to hunting. Thank you very much.
all gorgeous rifles, amazing how these companies adapted to the times.
cant go wrong with 270 win. you have the best videos on you tube for gun reviews- thank you
Thank you!
Your videos are the absolutely best, its a pure joy to learn from you.
All the best from Sweden.
Mvh

Hello Bert - Beautiful Sweden - amazing nation - amazing people - I have many hunters and shooters that write me from your great country. I hope to visit one day. Thank you for your kind words. I wish you and yours - the best - always.
Thanks for the Husqvarna videos, I enjoy watching them. I have a pair of early Model 4100 lightweights in 270 and one in 30-06. They are the ones with the simple spring in the trigger guard instead of the pivoting latch for the magazine floor plate. The trigger guards are steel on mine, the later ones were aluminum. The bolt stop is the same thin, yet very strong spring. Frank De Haas wrote an excellent bolt action book and included the Husqvarna line. His opinion was the same as yours and mine, as finely built and strong as any bolt action on the market.
They are near perfect Glen - back when they were made and still now. Untouched by time. A new barrel if needed and maybe a stock and they are as good as new.
Great review of a wonderful set of rifles. Would love to run across a Husqvarna here in Florida!
Thanks Rick!
I asked yesterday about my Husqvarna. It looks like the second one you held up. Only difference I could spot was the rear sights. Mine are flip up...i each for 100, 200,300 yds. On the top of the barrel foreward of the rear sights it says Husqvarna Vapenfabriks A.B.Cal .308 Imperial. Mine does have the controlled round feed like Mausers do. There is no other writing on the gun besides the serial number. You know my Dad was in the Army and he bought it from our neighbor on base...so it is possible it was a rifle picked up overseas, as it has no importer marks on it. It shoots like one hole groups. I got a deer with it this morning. I'm 64 now and though I have accumulated several other rifles, the Husqvarna remains my favorite...and my Grandfather's 1894 Winchester .30wcf mfg. in 1903. The 1894 is cool because it says Nickel Steel barrel especially for smokeless powder. Thanks for posting this. I didn't know you'd done one a week or so before I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for subscribing Greg. You have 2 classic and near perfect rifles. The 1894 is a legend and the Husqvarna is tops among bolt action Mausers. Your's sounds like a Crown Grade - but it could be an Imperial - both are supreme rifles and both continue to go up in value and become more and more scarce. .308 is hard to find.
The Crown Grade is fantastic looking rifle, and the white spacers don't even bother me that much. However, the Stiga is a classic gem that I didn't know existed until I watched this video. It would be my #1 hunting rifle if it was mine. I enjoyed hearing you say that the targets that you shoot with it think that you have a scope on it. I also like to hear you talk about hunting. Thanks!
I am the fortunate owner of Tradewinds Husqvarna with the mauser action in 7 mm mag. Absolutely the finest shooting rifle made. Birdseye Maple stock. Gorgeous.
Stunning! - great cal., great action and great stock. You just can't go wrong.
i picked up a Husqvarna Crown grade last year that was originally a 30-06 but had been re-barreled to .338-06. This is the second Husqvarna rifle I've owned and I love them. I've had several Model 98 actions over the years and I'm always on the look out for another one.
The Swedes use very high-grade Swedish Vanadium steel. I found a rifle that I forgot about, a Husqvarna Vapenfabriks A.B. marked with a crown over H Nitro. A high-grade featherweight in 6.5x55 in a Mauser 98 style action. Very different than my target Carl Gustaf CG63.
Love my early 70's Carl Gustaf .270 fitted with a beautiful Swarovski Z5i.....
I enjoy listening to your knowledge of guns with the spirit that you persist for them thank you
Thank you
Hi Mike, I really enjoy your videos, so thank you. I am in Australia where we don't get as much of an opportunity to get onto great volumes of firearms, but I am surprised that some in my modest collection, feature in some of your videos as your preferences. I have a Crown grade Husqvarna in 243, and a Spanish 98 actioned Parker Hale in 270, Savage 99 250/3000, Lyman /Centenary Ruger No.1. I just love your Hagens.
Hi Paul - Glad we have some matching guns. Your Crown Grade in .243 is a real gem and so hard to find. The Lyman #1 is another unicorn....amazing that one made it to Australia. BTW - I spent a lot of time in Australia - fabulous country and people. Thanks for the note.
Ok I subscribed. I mean I keep watching all of your videos anyway. I hope it helps. Thanks for putting out so much content for walnut and steel, instead of black and plastic.
Swedish rifles have some of the slickest actions ever produced.
Well done!!! great rifles.
A fine collection. World Class.
I own the Carl Gustaf in 308 . Bought it in 1979 , looks as good as yours. I knew it was special .
Love your videos 👍
Thanks Ive got a smith and wesson mod B in 308 win had it since 1970 its amazing❤
You bet - as good as it gets
Get well soon mate, and happy new year from England.
Best for 2019 to you and yours Paul!
Hi there , I am from India and had a chance to use a Swedish rifle as these shown by you . Honestly speaking, I was surprised by the fine quality of the rifle. It ranked amidst the best.
please more husqvarna and carl gustaf content love it
Okay - will do!
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Yes I love these, probably the most impressively well built and beautifully aged item I've ever seen in person.
I own a few huskys. I was able to buy 4 of them that are almost unfired..222 ..243...3006...7mm mag..very close to new. I have the husqvarna VT with heavy barrel in .243. In your comment about how the barrels were made...they were hammer forged from what ive reseached. Great video
One of the best rifles ever, had several, although the wood on some was a bit ordinary floor board quality ,had a Zoli too ,wasn't as well finished metal wise, but accurate and still excellent,have to admire the Swedish and their Quality products
Beautiful wood and steel you've got there...
It's "Stee-gah", you're absolutely spot on!
I purchased an Imperial grade Husqvarna in 308 caliber in the early seventies. It is an outstanding rifle and is my go to deer rifle. Thank you for featuring it. Richard Jones
Timeless and excellent - but you know already : )
Thanks for another greate video, greetings from sweden 🇸🇪
The Carl Gustave is extremely similar . EXCELLENT.
Good review! love your pronunciation of Husqvarna! i'm about to buy my first rifle soon and after this I might be looking a second time on the old swedes. (Living in Sweden btw) :)
Hello Lukas! That is exciting : first rifle! Please let me know the correct Swedish pronunciation. I receive so many different instructions on what pronunciation is correct. From Sweden must come the actual correct way. : )
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns yea im very excited! Hard to explain the sound but it would be something like: hyousquarna :)
Nice to see some beautiful Husqvarna rifles. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 👍
Your country is amazing. The rifles you produced are legend over here. I hope things don't change too much for you; I hear things from people in Sweden that concern me; yet - I'm convinced the core people of Sweden who know what is what, and what matters, and what is true...will prevail. At least I hope so. God Bless.
You know how to please as Swedish heart. Great video!
My privilege.
I've always wanted one of these rifles!!
You'll get one
Thank you for a very informative and good video. I'm from Sweden and just recently achieved my hunting licence and I am searching for a reliable "old school" gun, rather than a new Tikka T3-type of gun. Now in the process of buying my first rifle and I am strongly looking at either a Carl Gustaf 1900 or a Tikka M65. You have confirmed my belief that i can not go wrong with either of these two, so I will proceed with my intended purchase. Thank you so much, and I hope you will do well on the other side of the "pond". God Bless /Fredrik
Hello Fred J - Congratulations on achieving your hunting license; many years of happy and safe hunting ahead. I would buy the Carl Gustaf in a heartbeat - but the 65 is not inferior. Thanks for the kind words about my channel. All the best to you!
You shouldn't have gone wrong with your purchase. I have a 70s Carl and I love it, shoots just as good now as in the s 70,80,90s new stuffs junk in comparison.
About 15 years ago I had the opportunity to buy a 9.3 x 62 Husqvarna rifle, but decided against it for one or another reason, and I regret it to this day. It had a very standard looking stock,
K98 with flag safety etc ....man oh man. Please keep the videos coming, I find them informing without the "force" method that a lot of channels use today to boost their opinion and ultimately their sales I guess. Anyway, thank you for presenting the way that you it.
I bought a Carl Gustaf 1900 Lyx model from the original owner this week, it was bought in a hunting store in Stockholm back in 1978 in .30-06
The gentleman had quit hunting due to age 10 years ago, been standing in a cabinet within it's original weapon case.
Prestine rifles and the bolt mechanism is out standing, it's competing or even better than modern Tikka's/Sako action.
Just have to do some stock oil maintenance and fix 4 little rust dots on the barrel, then it's practicly barely used, since the original owner took such great care of it.
I have to fully agree with Greg's comments below. I have never handled a Husqvarna that wasn't very slick. Likely due to a combination of high carbon steel, precise machining and careful fitting.
Husqvarna rifles are fantastic - a steal on the market right now
found your videos the other day lots of good stuff , as I watch this video I spy what looks like a Browning double automatic. the one over your right shoulder second from the end this is just me guessing from the frond and boom metal I hunted with my Grandpas as a kid then bought my own once I found one . I also have a Carl Gustaf M96 Awesome rifle
We still hunts like before here in Sweden like we have do for 30 years No big changes.
Have a look at Varberger rifles, they was made in my hometown and is exilent rifles.
Think the husqvarna is a model 1600 but not sure.
Take Care.
Thank you Tomas! I'm relieved that Sweden continues - what a tragedy if the Sweden that has accomplished so much is somehow compromised or diluted into something else. Some of the notes I received from Sweden were alarming. The very best to you.
I love Husqvarna I have a 270 and a 30 ought 6 in a mannlicher they're beautiful rifles function as well as a pre 64 model 70
Perfect trio - the full length stock models are especially fine - and scarce. Cheers.
"Talking about these things" Mike , is what makes people aware of the traditions , and of the necessity of hunting , and firearms . Don't ever apologize for saying what needs to be said . And yes , it can be done without delving into the cesspool that is politics .... Your not overstepping , or stepping on anyone's toes ,,,, and if they think /feel that you are , then they're watching the wrong channel.... But hopefully they leave a bit more educated and with a better understanding of the world of the " firearm collectors" ..... Don't stop doing what your doing .
I love my Husqvarna! I can't find a modle number on it, but is similar to the rifle clostest to you. It's 30-06 and it is my go to for hunting. I know this video is older, but i throughly enjoyed it.
There isn't a better rifle - only different ones. You bought the right one!
Those actions of the Husqvarna, are
a modernised version of the venerable Mauser '98,
and are known as the FN "Supreme" Mauser actions.
Silk smooth, and, in my humble opinion, the best commercial (sports) offspring of the great Mauser 1898 action.
I have several of those, and love them.!!
Also, I have some
Carl Gustav's 1896,
but I believe, that cocking on opening it's superior, and safer.
If, for some reason, on the cocking on closing, the trigger sear fails to hold properly the firing pin, it will flyes forward, on a cambered round,
hitting the primer, WITHOUT a LOCKED bolt, and the rest you guessed.!!!
I own a Husqvarna imperial. Imperial is stamped right on it in a 7mm remington magnum. It is deadly accurate.
One of the best ever - a keeper.
Don’t own a Carl Gustav, but i do have a JC Higgins 51-L with a Swedish Husqvarna action in .308. Featherlight barrel and hand carved checkering. I bought it from my mom for a dollar around 14 years ago and have gotten all my deer with it. I think it is from 1959 or 1960. It’s obscenely accurate.
I had the one that's closest to you with the curled under front end on the front stock. Well, I wrote that before you picked it up... mine was a Husqvarna, had that stock but it had a different action and thin varmint barrel. Mine was chambered in .243 and it had the claw extractor. Sometimes I'd loose a round out of the action and it'd get stuck in the chamber. And never when or where it was convenient. I'd fill the magazine and then try to hold down those rounds and try to get an extra one in the chamber and sometimes, like I said, one would drop down into the chamber and I'd have to hike out of the woods to try to find something to push it out. My tree stands ended up with a metal clothes hanger in them. Back then if you weren't using 30 caliber you weren't being humane by chancing a bad kill. I showed them... 3 inch entrance hole with a .243 100 grain hollow point boat tail. I spent many days set up on farmers fence posts taking out the woodchucks for them. Loved that rifle except for the feed and then that was my doing trying to get an extra round in it...
I've got two1600 carbines and they are the best. One in .270 and the other in 30-06, and I've hunted with them almost exclusively for nearly a decade. Off the bench they will both shoot 1" groups. More importantly, after using essentially the same rifle for so long, I can put an offhand shot into the front half of a deer in under 3 seconds, out to 100 yards or so. I had a Carl Gustaf M96 sporter in 6.5x55 for a while, and to this day I still consider it one of the best deer rifles I've owned.
You've got the best
Stiga mauser is what I learned to shot with. In 6,5x55 of course.
Shot 6,5 before I shot 22lr even.
Shot my yearly qualifications with it for some time
Fine rifles thanks
I remember when they were advertising them in outdoor life Magazines
Always a great memory
A friend of mine lost all his guns and gear in a fire 2 years ago,he bought a new rifle a Husqvarna 1900 .3006.
Also see the VO Vapen, they use raw Zoli 1900 actions and work with from there,making some very expensive 1900s. The Swedish King and others have them, but i have seen pictures of the King with a Sauer 80 / CG 3000 on many occassions.
That is interesting! I have the CG 3000 in .308 - one of my best rifles. I'll have to give the King a call and see if he would be willing to say a few words for the channel (with all due respect.) : )
Thank you for the name : ZOLI! my mind froze and I could not remember.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns There is several meme pictures of the King with CG around the net 😉
Another friend of mine, he wore out a 6,5x55 barrel in a CG 1900 and now have a octagonal Walther in it in 6,5mm
I own a Husqvarna push feed action just like the C-G in your collection. It’s just as you mentioned, no model indicated, only Husqvarna and “made in Sweden”. Oddly the importer is nicely machined into the receiver. To add to the list of names you mentioned, and compounding the confusion behind these fine rifles, my rifle, also chambered in .270 Winchester, was imported by “FFV Sports”. It’s the finest and smoothest action I’ve ever encountered at any price point, exactly as you described and demonstrated with your C-G. Thanks for the information.
Luke Moon, I believe FFV in your timeframe is short for Försvarets Fabriksverk and they made a channel out via a company, an Ltd, in sorts, to sell and distribute surplus military equipment.
Here is a scanned document from the old days when this was setup in the 70ies:
www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-lagar/dokument/proposition/om-omorganisation-av-forenade-fabriksverken-mm_FZ03122/html
Search for FFV Sport AB
Be aware that the scanning is very erratic, no one has proofread it yet.
Anyway, it seems your rifle was an outlet from the Swedish Army, as they standardized other rifles for the defense.
I just wonder which customers got the surplus torpedoes from Motala, lol..
Here is an old webpage about the organisation/s.
web.archive.org/web/20100818024537/www.sgu.se/dokument/miljo_fororenat/om-FFV.pdf
Look at the year 1986, there is the Company setup. But how old is the rifle?
John Marstein my rifle is a Husqvarna Model 1900. It was purchased new by my grandfather as a gift to my father in late 1971. It has a walnut Montecarlo shaped stock with a “schnable” fore end and tasteful checkering. The steel alloy in conjunction with extremely precise machining seems to be what sets this handsome firearm apart from everything else I’ve ever encountered.
The second rifle looks like a Husqvarna 1640 which has a own made mechanism that is something between the M96 and the M98. Very good rifles that is still in use here because they are cheap and works very nice.
Awesome Video. I have 2 Husky Imperial Grade with jeweled bolts in 270 and 300 WIN MAG. Each fitted with a scope that is easily removed and reattached. Both in original boxes and never been fired. The 3rd gun is a Krico .222 Win which looks just like the Huskies again with jeweled bolt. It has a 2 stage trigger and scope. I wonder what they may be worth.
New in box rifles are very rare - as you know - I'd say $1500.
Antonio Zoli bought all the machines from Huskvarna
They still make the 1900 model
The models before the 1900 are more mauser-ish
Even think replacement stocks for mausers work with minimal work
Off topic, but I was wondering if you have any information on the Mauser 2000/ 3000/ 4000 or even own one of these. I have a 2000 308 on it's way and I will be doing a video about it. There just isn't a whole lot of information that I can find on them.
Great rifle - made by Heym and predecessor to the current Heym SR20 - marketed and branded by Mauser. Mine was super accurate, but the aluminum floorplate cracked - it was press engraved. Hope that helps.
My grandfather just gifted me his 7mm mag, I thought it was an old remington 700 for the longest time. To my delight it is a carl gustaf with a 4x bushnell. He said every animal I harvest with it, I have to give him a hind quarter and the liver. Great deal!
Amazing Cody - You've got a gem.
You have the book right there in front of you, Tradewinds "Husky" Series 5000
They are absolutely beautiful rifles. I love the sound of a bolt being worked. The first rifle I ever handled was a Lee Enfield No4 when I was an army cadet in 1973 or 74. On a different subject, a chap from the Fieldsports Channel appeared on a morning programme with a lemon from an anti hunting organisation because hunters are being invited to hunt deer on various estates in England. They called the Fieldsports man a murderer! They don't understand that the countryside is entirely managed in Britain and that these deer will be culled anyway so why not allow people to pay to control them? Idiots!
My goodness Grendel. If people saw culling or a slaughterhouse or anything connected to reality they would understand that hunting is by far the most responsible and respectful way of harvesting game or acquiring sustenance. Also, if they saw an area overpopulated with deer - with deer curled up in the snow starving to death - it would be clear that nature is not self-regulating in a way that humanity would be comfortable with. Too many deer, then almost none - over and over - with destruction of the environment and ecology, pain and suffering, disease and starvation - to death in between.
We're slaves to our survival, and with the genius of man has come unnatural ways to cope in a natural world. Our slaughterhouses and meat industry, although necessary, is cruel in both concept and practice. But people need their meat on the table.
The alternative? Stalking our own game. The issue? People who just aren't exposed to the natural world, and only imagine that would be hunters are only that way because they "just wanna kill animals". Its this principle alone that makes someone anti-hunting. Or so I perceive. It could also be they believe that without human intervention, the wild world is already hospitable and why can't we leave that alone? Well the more we leave it alone, the more we are forced to adapt to a industrial way of living. Which causes more damage in the long run.
Sure it sucks (in a way?) that life is one big organism that has to survive off of itself for it's continuation. And maybe their argument is if we're so intelligent, why can't we find ways to exist without eating a sentient being? That's a valid world view in of itself, but these creatures will be dead anyway. Dont let their deaths be for nothing. The circle of life, or in other words let life feed off of itself in the way it was designed to be.
@@diktatoralexander88 Very well put indeed mate.
thank you i'm going to try and find two 3006 huskys that were lost in a canou flip in alaska where i live thank you for the information and a really good video
Okay great - don't forget to buy a rare earth magnet - the kind they sell to retrieve outboard motors that fall off the back of small boats. I bought one of those way up North. We were fooling around picking up weird metal things off a lake bottom and then - I kid you not - at a narrows the magnet lodged on something really solid. Our rope was heavy duty - thank goodness. We inadvertently found a Ski-Doo that had cracked and fallen through the ice the winter before. I hope you find the rifles!
ive got a 3600 neodymium on its way from amazon made by brute magnets i'm looking in to a really good rope i am going to be looking in a narrow spot and i'm hoping that i dont hook on to a car or bulldozer that may have fallen in at one time thanks for the reply its a place called tangle lakes ill try and find a way to send you a picture if i find something
I agree, top qality. My own favorite is the CG63 6,5
Hi Sven - Yes - that one is tops.
I love the line of the cheek piece on the crown grade and some of the other Husqvarnas. It evokes Harvey Rogers. Lots of ugly cheek pieces out there but not an issue with Husqvarna.
Very true William - they got everything right.
Crown-grade is a very nice gun!
My Husqvarna appears to most resemble the one you called Imperial...but mine has a three leaf folding rear sight. My Dad acquired it from a neighbor in Texas in 1967 or 68.........like you said...no model number or name on it. Stock is exactly the same....and controlled round feed..........aluminum trigger guard.
My 6.5x55 SE "Husky" is of extremely high quality and incredibly accurate. I believe it is an Imperial Grade. It is exactly like your example. Wow cool, I too have a Carl Gustav Model 96 also 6.5x55 SE and also highly accurate.
You've got the best.
Always wanted that exact rifle!
Mike, all of these rifles were top rate but I must admit that I was drawn to the 96 as soon as you started talking about it. Very cool rifle in 3006, what else could you ask for? And, it's got irons!
Have a safe weekend!
Hi Paul - yup - it is a favorite - and handles even better than it looks. Have a great weekend as well.
Hey! Great videos. Can u do one where u take apart a husqvarna 1900 and look into machinery??
Nice vid! "Stiga" = "stea" from "steam" + "ga" from "saga"
Another great video, my friend. I’m very interested in looking into the Firearms Laws & Regulations in Sweden/‘Sverige’. Thanks very much for sharing this one...a cornucopia of delightful rifles-that ALL look to be 'Cock-On-Open’...although if the Gustav is an M96, I’m quite wrong?!
You make me jealous with all the great gear you have.
Karl Gustaf, Husqvarna and Mouser nice weapons, personally I would still prefer to sleep with a Lee Enfield 303 maintained by me
There are a few other makers
Varberger have all been nice the ones Ive seen
Interesting topic. It would be interesting to see what types of Husqvarna 310's side by side has made it across the pond, some of the earlier models where made on license from was itbrowning? some of them are amazing. As for the CG1900, Isn't the Luxury line indicated by the slanted wood line on the stock, and "rose" indentation on the bolt? or was that rose thingy an optional extra? I love the smooth action of the 1900, with rosed bolt, ,makes you picky about any new gun..straight pull or no not.
could you do some SAKO reviews please, from Australia also 410 lever action guns, love your work
Hi Edward - will do and the .410 levers are so popular - not easy to find - maybe a Henry - I'll get it done. Good on you for suggesting.
i enjoy your show swedish rifles! & i like the meatballs too! (yep i'm nuts)
Great rifles and great meatballs - I like them as well; I like that berry jam or jelly they serve with them. One year my venison came back from the butcher and it tasted something like that; which was a lucky year. You know how venison is - some years better than others - depending on the specific deer. One year my deer must have fed on pine needles only. The meat was like eating a conifer; I made the best of it but chewy pine needle burgers are character building.
Husqvarna!? Wow until now my knowledge with this Swedish manufacture went only as far as yard equipment! Good on them!:)
Haha, they have been around since 1689, so they have produced a lot of different things over the years
I guess like the old saying Goes,,, History is Bottemless!
I am looking for some info on a rifle that I acquired. It is a stiga 270win. It looks very similar to the rifles from this video with a couple slight variations. I have shot many guns.
This thing is not even comparable to the axis XP’s, Remington 783 and Ruger American that I hear others raving about. Don’t get me wrong, there is a place for those guns too but I feel like I won the lottery buying a stiga 270 in mint condition for $300. I have several newer low to mid priced bolt action rifles and this thing blows them out of the water. Maybe a smoother bolt than my T3 Hunter.
I live in Sweden and those Huskvarna Rifles you show are usually extremely hard to buy because they are scarce and especially if its in cal.30.06 ore cal.308.
Many Swedish hunters inheret these rifles and dont sell them , I am surprized that you have them .
They are better quality then many german rifles , if you have one of these lets say in 30.06 then your set fore life you only need a 12gauge and a 22 .
Thanks for your note. It surprises us that many rifles from Sweden somehow ended up over here. For awhile there were hundreds for sale. Now there are few, as people recognize quality and great prices. You're right - the Husqvarna rifles are as good as it gets. Many people bought two or three when they were available for a few hundred dollars. Good health and good shooting!
i have one husqvarna 1900 sporter in 6,5x55, precition is verry good, 3cm group in 300meters
Excellent video, as always. I have had an interest in Husqvarna rifles since I found out about them. I'm fond of their dirtbikes.
I am definitely ready for the election to come and go, your video was interrupted by 2 different political ads. Not that it's your fault obviously, just thought I'd pass that info along.
That is interesting. Thanks for the supporting words and I hope the apparently world wide efforts to restrict and diminish freedom do not succeed. I seem to learn some new and troubling example of the erosion of freedom - or attempts - just about every day. Everyone who has freedom or some semblance of it needs to hold fast and not budge; as we all know - freedom is easily lost - and can be very difficult to get back.
I have owned two Imperial Crown grade Huskys. There was nothing I could do to make them accurate; there is just too much barrel whip. The best results were achieved by extending the forestock and adding a spring which was installed near the front end, eliminating the free float barrel. Before you criticise, be aware that I have been a certified gunsmith since 1978.
My Smith & Wesson branded 30-06 is very accurate, all I had to do was replace the trigger and trigger spring with a Huber.
We have a preference for the fine craftsmanship and art of European firearms. I've always been aware of the superb Scandinavian rifles available to collectors. Finally, there are many fine U.S. classics which will always be at the same level of quality. At least some are being reproduced (i.e. model 94 .32 Win. Special in Japan, model '70 'pre-'64 reproduction etc.) to replicate the smoothness and handling characteristics of the originals, as well as material quality. I owned a Smith & Wesson import Husqvarna decades ago chambered in .308; another painful trade / sale which should never have been made. Although, I was glad for the new owner!
Some rifles I've sold - I still can't believe I sold. Much like real estate - guns just end up with new owners who may never sell. As for fine firearms - they can only go up - the majority of guns these days are machine made, plastic stocked items that have sort of a "disposable" feel to them. Gunmakers of the past wanted their guns to last - generation after generation.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Better to sell than to scrap. A friend of mine, retired from the Swedish Security Police delivered his father's weapon for scrap, an old CG from 1928, if i remember correct. I find this to be destruction of cultural values, and I am not a hunter, nor a gun owner. The amont of man hours put in to one of those will never be seen again. What a waste. So better to find an appreciative new owner.
You are fuckin awesome! Love your channel!
Thanks Eric. Do my best. Take care.
The situation in Sweden is quite bizarre, especially considering sport shooting. There is considerable civil servant activism within the Police Authorities that enjoyes political support from the Government in accordance with political deniabiliy. I am seriously concerned for the future..
Hi Dennis - Disturbing; maybe someone should form an international alliance of firearms owners. Truly, the United Nations should mandate that no government is allowed to disarm its citizens in any way. I am being told this process is under way in South Africa. As history shows - governments don't disarm their citizens to give them more rights and freedoms. Disarming the citizens is always a precursor to the overthrow of the will of the people, by what was supposed to be their own government. Government is supposed to serve the people, not restrict the people, condemn the people, strip people of their freedoms and impose ways of life on the people that they have no interest in. I'm seriously concerned as well.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns The UN is completely in support of, and often directly behind, these tyrannical actions.
