This defect is in the handling of escaping gas. In the process tho, it was "strengthened" in unimportant areas and in fact thus incorporated a mechanical and safety defect of sorts as well. In essence, it was "strengthened" by skipping a few machining operations which probably made it a bit easier and cheaper to produce. The one pictured by TexasJohn is indeed a "strengthened" 94/96. IIRC, the Swedes have never differentiated between 94 and 96 actions. So team, whats the view, Is it a 96 or a 94. Without the thumb cut, it was known as a strengthened action. I once complained to a friend that, "I had too many brush rifles." He calmly replied - "You don't have too many brush rifles - you just don't have enough brush."ĭaryl nailed it as a '94 or '96 action instead of a 1640. I need to move these two along as I have the same rifle in 9.3X57 - all open sight rifles that have never had a hole drilled in them. I have an earlier 8X57 with a thumb notch. I have three of these later '96 based guns now and have hunted with a custom '96 in 6.5 X 55 - the '96 is a great action in spite of its cock on close and no third safety lug - both over-rated features. The Swedes loved the '96 action very much and never really progressed beyond it without using imported actions.

Wasn't that the Husky 146 with the solid left side, no thumb-groove like on the 46? That's a 96 or 94-type action appears to me. "In the Texas Oilfield, everything that does not kill me today, gets another chance tomorrow." Does the action have a solid left wall and look like this one? If someone could tell me the photo link is working that would help I cant see any FN or Husqvara markings except British Proof markings and the chap selling it is not being much help.which is another reason why Im a bit suspect I "think" this is the link to my drop box to some photos of the bolt.

Id post some photos but I cant work out how to do that

Does anyone know if either Husqvarna or FN made actions as described above but without the 3rd lug? However because the 3rd lug is missing Im just not sure and as such loath to purchase.

The serial number is 84250 if thats any help and is where its suppose to be on the left hand side of the barrel just in fron of the receiver. It does have the groves for the stripper clip but not the thumb cut out in the receiver. The receiver has never been screwed for mounts and it has open sights. However it does not have the 3rd mauser safty lug. Shooting & Reloading - Mausers, Big Bores and others
