A nice light game gun slipped under the radar again selling for a fraction of what its worth. And somebody needs to get himself some better screwdrivers and stop using the ones he opens his paint cans with.

There are lots of Huskies out there, I hunt with a pair of Model 51's. 29" Barreled hammer guns and I have another with 20" and 29" barrels


After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Husky made them. I have a couple of shotguns and a rifle by them. All good guns.

The best of the Husqvarnas are the 310 hammerless guns. They were expensive guns in their day. The 310 ASE cost as much as a DE-Grade Ansley H. Fox in the 1929 Stoeger catalog. One of the great things about Husky's is that we can often find the marks of the factory craftsman who worked on them --





My 310s, 1947 vintage 16-gauge front, 1918 vintage 12-gauge back --



The higher grade 310s were really nice. I'd love to find a nice LYX --



or one of these Pigeon Guns --

Great information. I see the list of finishers but was the action and barrels made in the 'white' by someone else and sent to Husqvarna for finishing?

But, I do not see any proof marks from other countries.

I can't speak directly to shotgun bits as my experience is more toward the single projectile arena, but I'll tell you what I *think* I know.

Husqvarna was known to start a model production by sourcing actions and complete firearms from another manufacturer. Early examples of 'their' 1894/96/98 Mausers (Husky Model 46, 46A, 146, etc.) can be found with German markings. The 1887 revolver was sourced for the first four years from Nagant in Belgium as a complete pistol. As time passed, they would bring a model 'in house', often under license; reference the Model 1907 pistol which is a near exact copy of the Browning 1903. Some models were built only in house such as the 1600-series rifles.

My expectation is the shotgun you mention was built in Sweden by Husky. I will full well admit that to be nothing more than a guess on my part and would willingly allow correction.

Simpsons Ltd. in Galesburg, Illinois (www.simpsonltd.com) imported hundreds of these Husqvarana SxS's a few years ago; both hammer and hammerless models. They sold the very good ones, but have 50-100 left that have blemishes or need repairs. Most are now priced about $300; most are 12 gauge.

I bought one, and have been very pleased with it. Very nice guns.

Most are choked FULL; I had my chokes opened locally to IC & MOD.

I was told (rumor ?) that in the Scandanavian counties, one must often "trade-in" an older gun to obtain a permit to buy a new one. According to that rumor, the Simpson guns were all trade-ins. Don't know if that is fact?
