I recently received a husqvarna vapenfabriks a.b.243 winchester rifle which I know nothing about it has a serial number of 310935 and a German pecar. I just got my grandfathers Husqvarna rifle. I can't find any model number on it. I just got my grandfathers Husqvarna rifle. I can't find any model number on it. The serial number dates it to 1952. What detailed pictures would you need?
I just started fixing up my fathers Vapenfabriks A.B. Nitro 149XXX. It has a Monte Carlo stock with flat bottom pistol grip, slide adjustable ramp rear sight for I believe 100-300 yards. It has a push button in front of the trigger guard for removal of the mag floor plate. 600mm barrel.
GREAT shooting gun Dad has always had a bit of 'Scottish pride' regarding his $28 3-9x30 bushnell scope from the 70's and how many deer it's killed. But after this years 'fail' on a nice mule deer from aging eyes in low light looking into the setting sun with the Ol' antique sportview, I was given the green light to bring the gun into the modern age with a new scope, rings, mounts.
For the scope I'm going with a leapers 4-16x50 AO mil dot I'm wondering though. Will a Mauser 98 picatinny rail fit his receiver screw holes? I know there's issues with stripper clips but this isn't a military model it's for filling the freezer:D the following is what I'm considering. Sooo update on the rifle. After a complete dis-assembly and finding tons of years worth of carbon build up and gunk (surprise?)in the bolt assembly that hasn't been cleaned in 40 years, things are running much smoother now.
Malani bulathsinhala mp3 album. I've found a few small hairline cracks in the stock, one behind the mag well and a typical one at the rear of the tang. I'm going to glass bed the action with devcon 2 ton and that should get some more solid years out of the rifle stock. I installed a crispy razor sharp 2 lb Timney trigger (that I polished with with a ceramic stone) and Dad was AMAZED what modern machining can provide!
( maybe I can con him into buying a mill to finish the machine work, wait that won't work he's Scottish and tighter than bark on a tree! NM) I machined a picatinny rail with 20 MOA slope to fit (the span length between the holes was off by a few thousandths) Also added a UTG 1/4 MOA 4-16x 50mm scope with illuminated mil dot, a step up from the 1/2MOA 3-9x 32mm! Hopefully he can see that monster buck he missed out on in WY this year this time around:D Any suggestions on a bluing or parkerizing finish? I was thinking oil bathe all the metal for several months and let the metal soak as much oil as it can and polishing it. Like log truckers do with the floor boards on their rigs. If not I have some good methods for super blue. The bluing is pretty sparse on parts of the barrel and trigger guard.
