They were the arms maker for the Swedish army for a couple hundred years, with sporting arms as their sideline. They made a lot of rolling blocks under license from E. Remington & Sons. After the King's approval of the arms Commission's report on May 8, 1867, Sweden bought 10,000 Remington rifles chambered for the Swedish 12.17mm rimfire cartridge, 20,000 breech systems to convert Swedish muskets to breechloaders, and Swedish Ordnance Officials were granded a license from Remington to manufacture rolling blocks in Sweden. Husqvarna was still offering rolling block shotguns in 1949, after the Model 310 double had been replaced with the Model 615.
