IIRC, the pressure was in excess of 80K PSI. He reported an inadvertent shooting of a overloaded ammo in their std test action which are/were built on M96 actions. IMO, this suggests the M96 action is sufficiently robust.Īnother data point attesting to the strength of the M96 action is a letter to the editor of Handloader magazine from the head ballistician at Norma. I've not heard of any reports of action failures by these rifles. Kimber (Oregon) rebarreled/sporterized military M96 rifles to. Then, as you probably know, the answer still remains controversial.

I know the 6.5x55 was standard in the M96 but I also know that it wasn't originally loaded to its full (i.e., modern) potential. I know this is an old beat-up question, but will the M96 action handle the same pressure as the M98? I hear/read pros and cons on both sides. So, is the difference between the 46 and 146 that the 46 is on the M96 action and the 146 is on the M98? Parts for those are nearly impossible to find, from my understanding. If it is a 9000 series, the action is the newer 1900 push feed action. Xxxx, trigger guard, floorplate are Husqvarna unique and hard to come by.Įdit: The 1600 series rifles like 1640, 1900, use 3/8" dovetail sights. Timney used to make one for Huskys under the importer "Tradewinds" name, but discontinued them decades ago.īarrels are threaded the same as small ring pre-98 Mauser, same as Swedish 95/96/38. Triggers are unique though people have used/modified Mauser 98 Timney triggers. The Bolt Shroud will interchange with any 98 Mauser but, the Husky comes with the Commercial FN style without safety. What do you guys think?Ĭocking piece, firing pin, firing pin spring, bolt shroud lock, bolt shroud spring, magazine follower, and magazine spring are all the same as any Mauser 98. I don't need it, but it looks like it would be great for coyotes. I have been looking at a S&W A in 22-250, I think its the same as a 9000.
