They ceased manufacturing all firearms in 1972. In 1969 they discontinued the HVA action in favor of a cheaper to produce push feed design, called the 8000. It was a small ring Mauser-like design advertised as the "HVA Improved Mauser Action". Though the M98 was a strong and well proven action, it was not an ideal situation for Husqvarna to be depending on one of its worst competitors for such a key component.Īn independent bolt action design was introduced in 1953 as the 1600-series, which was available in several European and American chamberings, including 9.3×62mm. This type was manufactured from 1927 to 1942 circa, known as the Model 46 and mostly chambered in 6.5×55mm, 9.3×57mm and 9.3×62mmįrom early 1939 Husqvarna started purchasing Mauser M98 actions from the Belgian company FN, labeling the rifles Model 146, 246 and 640. The first medium caliber bolt-action rifles used the same action as the Swedish Army's Mauser m/96. Husqvarna made numerous types and models of break action shotguns.
