Husqvarna Vapenfabrik (Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Aktiebolag or simply HVA; pronounced [ˈhʉ̂ːsˌkvɑːɳa](listen)) was a Swedish firearms manufacturing company in the town of Huskvarna by lake Vättern.History[edit]
In 1689 the manager at the nearby state arsenal in Jönköping, Erik Dahlbergh, suggested to the King that the crown should support the construction of a new milling work at the waterfalls just outside Huskvarna. The new work should act as a branch of the Jönköping arsenal, where water supply had become irregular. The plans were approved and put into work the same year. Thanks to the Husqvarna branch, the annual production of barrels for muskets from the Jönköping arsenal increased from about 1,500 to over 12,000.
Eventually all production was moved to Huskvarna and in 1757 the arsenal was privatized under the ownership of Fredrik Ehrenpreus. In 1867 the company became a limited company under the name Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Aktiebolag.Ad for the company from 1899, for their velocipede.
When military orders dropped after the Danish-Prussian War of 1864 and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, Husqvarna begun making shotguns and hunting rifles. They also started manufacturing stoves, sewing machines and bicycles. In 1903 Husqvarna made their first motorcycle. Husqvarna continued firearms production, though mostly civilian firearms except during the two world wars and some shorter periods of military production.
In the late 1960s it was decided that Husqvarna should stop making break-action firearms and sell both the rifle production and military contracts to Carl Gustaf in Eskilstuna.Military firearms[edit]
*Maskinpistol M/49 (for the Danish Army)Civilian firearms[edit]
Husqvarna made numerous types and models of break action shotguns.
The first medium caliber bolt action rifles used the same action as the Swedish Army’s Mauser m/96. 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 9.3×62mmfrom early 1939 Husqvarna started purchasing Mauser M98 actions from the Belgian company FN, labeling the rifles Model 146, 246 and 640. 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.
An 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, .270, 30-06; 8×57mm, 6.5×55mm, and others. It was a small ring Mauser-like design advertised as the ’HVA Improved Mauser Action’. In 1969 they discontinued the HVA action in favor of a cheaper to produce push-feed design, called the 8000. They ceased manufacturing all firearms in 1972.
With the army order for the Ak 4 the company was able to find the funding to re-tool the workshop to produce a newly developed bolt action, marketed in 1967 as the 1900-series and continued by FFV (Förenade Fabriksverken) well into the 1980s.
Husqvarna also built a limited number of an elegant double rifle in caliber 9.3x74R, the model 410.See also[edit]Retrieved from ’https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Husqvarna_Vapenfabrik&oldid=990065761’FAQ about Swedish Mausers.
up dated 2009-10-17Q: What was the muzzle thread used for?
A: It was used to attach the blank firing device. It is normally found on m/1938 and rarely on m/1896. It is never found on the sniper-version m/1941 or the carbine m/1894.Q: I have seen a bag on the side on pictures?
A: The bag was used only for peace time exercises to collect spent brass after firing of blanks.
[Top of the page]Brass disk information.
The disks are positioned upside down on the right side of the stock, because when the soldier who normally is a right-handed shooter, looks at the disk he will have the disk in the right position.
Upside down is a disk from a g m/38; read the explanation below.

The m/41 round had a much flatter trajectory than the older m/94. As most rifles were already manufactured with iron sights for the ’m/94 bullet’, the aiming correction in mills (how much lower you had to aim to hit the target) was inscribed on the brass disc. This is the information in the second sector. It was usually 0,5 mill.
The last sector gives information on the level of bore pitting. 1 means pitting in the groves. 2 means pitting in the groves and on the side of the lands. 3 means pitting in the whole bore (= unserviceable).

[Top of the page]Was there a special sniper rifle version of the m/96?
Yes, there was a special sniper rifle version of the m/96 designated rifle m/41 (’Gevär m/41’). These rifles were selected species of ’well shooting’ m/96’s. Prior to the modifications their bores were checked and the rifles were fired for accuracy.

This rifle had a a two whole brass disk, which reads:
’G m/41 B’ Translated - ’Gevär m/41 B’ (’Rifle model 41B’).What does the ’turn down bolt handle’ indicate?A ’turn down bolt handle’ on m/1938 rifles indicates that the rifle is a converted m/1896. All m/96 had straight bolt handles. Husqvarna made m/1938 were normally produced as m/38 with the handle down from the beginning (like the picture above). However there is a small number of HVA produced m/1896 (with straight handles).Q: Why is there a lug on the cooking piece?The soldiers were allowed to dry fire the rifles in training if they first put a piece of leather between the cooking piece and the bolt. That was the reason for the lug on the cooking piece. On the picture the mechanism is cocked and locked. Safe to the same side as the handle!
The reason for the checkering of the cooking piece is to make it easier to dismantle the bolt.
