Husqvarna Rifle .270 - The Firearms Forum

ajensen · 10-27-2009, 10:49 PM

I was just given a Husqvarna Rifle .270 and I am having a lot of trouble finding out more about it. I would like to know the model number, value, and the year it was made. I have looked everywhere online, but nothing is helping. On the top of the barrel it says Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB.270 winch. On the side of the barrel the serial number is 136802, there looks to be some sort of crown at the end of it. There is also another crown where scope mounts would go that says Sweden underneath it. Here are some pictures. Thank you!

Made in 1952.

Husky made several models of rifles. Yours appears to be a Series 1000 Super Grade based on Monte Carlo stock and jeweling. Came with open sights. Blue Book sez around $400-450 ... but don't sell it for that! These are very good rifles.

I have two Husky's and have had several. None as old as yours and none on a "true" Mauser action [I would guess yours has had a safety lever update]. I currently have one on a Husky HVA action [near true Mauser but does not have the roll over safety] and one on what I will call a Carl Gustaf action. Both superb in metal and stock. The Gustaf action is one of the smoothest I have ever used - due to bolt lugs being 'dove tailed' with receiver. Also, have a couple of Smith & Wesson rifles built by Husqvarna, one in 243 and one in 30-06. 243 is a Gustaf action and has fantastic French Walnut, 30-06 is HVA. You don't hear much about these S&W's but they are nice.

He's right. Don't sell it for that. Sell it to me for $200.00. I'll pay shipping.

And I'll give you $300! Swedish steel was and probably still is the best in the world and the Huskys are superb firearms. Never sell it...except maybe to me. I have a 30.06 from 1971 and it is a fantastic rifle.

Hey 9 Fingers, I was doing just fine until you butted in. You already got one!

Just ignore him, Ajenson. He wasn't serious anyway. I am!

williamd · 10-30-2009, 08:14 PM

Ok, I'll add it to mine at $400 ... and pay the shipping!

Alpo · 10-30-2009, 09:32 PM

Well, looks like my offer of $98.47 won't get any takers

. Just as well. I don't need another caliber. Pretty gun, though. It'd go good with my other nine Huskys.

Well, fine then!

Didn't know I was starting an auction. Guess I've already got two .270's anyway.

I also have a Huskie that I can't find much information on. Imported by Tradewinds and is in a 7mm Remington Mag. I'm sure the value is marred somewhat by the orginal owner putting an old Saturn type muzzel brake on it Model H 5000. Bore is excellent with exterior blue at 90 % Some wear of finish on the floorplate (Aluminum). Couple of minor stock dings. No rust anywhere.
