What's the opinion on these Swedish Husqvarna shotgun? If quality is anything like their rifles the should be good.

I think they are a good deal for the quality. In that range 60xxx to 70xxx fits the Sauer serial number sequence(66xxx circa 1900) and Husqvarna sourced parts from Sauer.

Kind Regards,

Thanks for the replies. I have been cleaning up and refinishing a Model 17, but wanted one with more classic "British" type lines and a top lever. This one seemed to fit the bill, stock looked good plus I have seen good reports on this company from other C&R folks. I called and Dave had me call back in about an hour and he gave me a more complete over the phone appraisal of condition. I will see when it arrives. Price seems very good compared to other Continental makes.

Jeff,

I am not 100%, but it appears to be a model 100. These are fine guns. I have a M51 that I use often.



I have found Simpson's to be decent people who try hard to give an accurate description.

That looks nice. Locks appear to be the same as on my Mod 17. They are machined very clean and after cleanin up have very good trigger pulls. I have been working on the stock and have not had an opportunity to shoot it yet. I need to find some 2 1/2 shells first. When I got it it had a broken hammer screw and the dealer provided a replacement. I took it to the gunsmith and he removed the broken one fine and the new one broke going in. I also broke one of the screws holding the front sling swivel and will have to take it back for screw replacement. I cannot believe how small some of the screws they use are.

If I have to do anything on the one coming the screws will get an application of Kroil and set for a couple of weeks before starting work.
