I think this is a 4000 series.It has a Montecarlo stock with a Schnable fore arm.Walnut ,checkering and a 20 1/2' barrel.Weighs 6 1/2 lbs.No rust or anything really bad about the rifle.Never has had a scope mounted.Thanks ahead,OB

Highly desirable, but I have no idea of its value !! Husquvarna development of the 98. Small ring (I think) CRF. About as good as a proper 98 action gets.

What's not to like ??

Aluminum trigger guard & flooplate ?

If it is a CarlGustav CG 4000 it has a sauer 200 action with exchangeable barrels.Maybee 1500$ hard to know not so many rifles sold.

Or its a Husqvarna/CG 2000 husqvarna/CGs own action. About 1000$ in Sweden

I own a Smith & Wesson Model "B" in .308 Win., which was made by Husquvarna for them. Didn't care much for the factory stock so I replaced the stock.

It's not a Sauer or a S&W.

I have the catalogue

S&W used the Husqvarna 1600 actions in some of their rifles. I have one right here and it is identical to the Husqvarnas I also have except for being marked S&W Model A.

Husqvarna also supplied the action to Sears Roebuck & Co. for use in their JC Higgins Model 51-L.

Nice rifles but I've never paid more than $550 for one including my full stocked carbine.

At 1500century several gunsmith worked in the village of Husqvarna making rifles for the swedish army. In the 16-1700c they joined closer together making military rifles with interchangable parts.In the mid 1800c Husqvarna made military rifles on the remington rolling block action. Later the swedish/norwegian union army adopted the mauser 93-96 rifle the swedish/Norw commishion requests changed the model from 93 to 96 wich changes are shown on the later 98 model. Husqvarna also made hunting rifles on both the rolling block and the m96 action. In the 1900c they made hunting rifles on m98 action from FN ,improved m96, made their own action 1600,Later the 1900 total huqvarna contruction 1965-1970.In 1970 Huqvarna was bought by FFV-Carl Gustav who also produced 1900 and the new 2000 action. Carl Gustav had a bad economy for their own hunting rifle developement and started to use Sauer 90,and 200actions. Later the Husqvarna patent was used for selling italian made 1900 rifles. The 1900 action is still produced by Zoli for their own rifles and for VOvapens high end models.

Interesting history Nordic, but it would appear to be irrelevant to the OPs question regarding value of a 4000 series Husqvarna.

His description of the series 4000 in which he is interested exactly accords with the description and drawing in my Husquvarna (pre Carl Gustav) catalog.

Mike's explanation re the 1600 action, and your reference to the same model action, also fits, although "1600" isn't mentioned in the description of the action in the catalog.

I am a little surprised that they are worth so little, but times and tastes change. Still a nice rifle, particularly if one likes "proper" 98s.

When talking about Husqvarna 1600 -serie rifles is good to remember that some american export models used to have own number codes whose differs from domestic ones, for example Modell N900 and 7000.

It would be useful to see a foto from bespoke rifle.

This page would help to determinig the correct model:

Exactly, the same rifle was marketed as different model numbers depending on where it was being sold and by whom it was being imported.

Yes it can be a total different model number than in europe. A 1640 is worth about 2-300$ here is a lot of used ones often used as a donor action for custom rifles its a good rifle but has a curved unpopular stock here.

I thought the lightweight rifle with aluminum bottom metal and no sights (dovetail cut in the barrel for a rear sight, but no provision for a front sight was a 5000, or 5500. Plain wood with Schnable forearm.

Anyway what is one as described above worth (7MM Rem Mag) if different that the 270 described above?

About 44 years ago I ordered a Husqvarna 270, a 4000 series as I recall, but none could be found anywhere in Australia and even the factory had none left to send me.

That model had a Monte Carlo comb and contrasting caps with white-line spacers. The ones I remember with the schnabel fore end were the 1600 series. Their model numbers may have differed depending on the calibres, which I recall as 6.5x55, 270 Win, .30/06 and 9.3x62.

They were based on the '98 action, of course, and 'mine' was going to cost me about $A140. Part of my enthusiasm for the brand was that apparently in response to Remington firing three bullets up their M700's barrel at once, Husqvarna filled a barrel with sand, tamped down on a cartridge, and fired it to show the strength of their own action.

I have two husky model B with aluminum trigger guard, snable forend and 20.5 barrel with a Smith and Wesson stamp mine are in 30-06 one I have hunted with most of my like in good shape but has the were of a used rifle but one has been only shot maybe 40 times and is in almost new condition. what are they worth, I will never sell them but just curious.
