Husqvarna Vapenfabriks (Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Aktiebolag or simply HVA; pronounced [²hʉːsˌkvɑːɲa](listen)) was a Swedish firearms manufacturing company in the town of Huskvarna by lake Vättern.

History[edit]

In 1689 the manager at the nearby state arsenal in Jönköping, Erik Dahlbergh, suggested to the King that the crown should support the construction of a new milling work at the waterfalls just outside Huskvarna. The new work should act as a branch of the Jönköping arsenal, where water supply had become irregular. The plans were approved and put into work the same year. Thanks to the Husqvarna branch, the annual production of barrels for muskets from the Jönköping arsenal increased from about 1,500 to over 12,000.

Eventually all production was moved to Huskvarna and in 1757 the arsenal was privatized under the ownership of Fredrik Ehrenpreus. In 1867 the company became a limited company under the name Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Aktiebolag.

When military orders dropped after the Danish-Prussian War of 1864 and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, Husqvarna begun making shotguns and hunting rifles. They also started manufacturing stoves, sewing machines and bicycles. In 1903 Husqvarna made their first motorcycle. Husqvarna continued firearms production, though mostly civilian firearms except during the two world wars and some shorter periods of military production.

In the late 1960s it was decided that Husqvarna should stop making break-action firearms and sell both the rifle production and military contracts to Carl Gustaf in Eskilstuna.

Civilian firearms[edit]

Husqvarna made numerous types and models of break action shotguns.

The first medium caliber bolt action rifles used the same action as the Swedish Army's Mauser m/96. This type was manufactured from 1927 to 1942 circa, known as the Model 46 and mostly chambered in 6.5×55mm, 9.3×57mm and 9.3×62mmfrom early 1939 Husqvarna started purchasing Mauser M98 actions from the Belgian company FN, labeling the rifles Model 146, 246 and 640. Though the M98 was a strong and well proven action, it was not an ideal situation for Husqvarna to be depending on one of its worst competitors for such a key component.

An independent bolt action design was introduced in 1953 as the 1600-series, which was available in several European and American chamberings, including 9.3×62mm, .270, 30-06; 8×57mm, 6.5×55mm, and others. It was a small ring Mauser-like design advertised as the 'HVA Improved Mauser Action'. In 1969 they discontinued the HVA action in favor of a cheaper to produce push-feed design, called the 8000. They ceased manufacturing all firearms in 1972.

With the army order for the Ak 4 the company was able to find the funding to re-tool the workshop to produce a newly developed bolt action, marketed in 1967 as the 1900-series and continued by FFV (Förenade Fabriksverken) well into the 1980s.

Husqvarna also built a limited number of an elegant double rifle in caliber 9.3x74R, the model 410.

Husqvarna has produced firearms from very early times and havemade very basic firearms afordable for everyone as well asextrememly nice and even custom rifles for heads of state. Onething that remains through all their manufacturing is that they usequality swedish iron ore that is second to none in the world. Whichever era you choose husqvarna was at the top of their game with thesteel they used. Most husqvarna rifles have fine accuracy and manyare very accurate. Most of the time they are underpriced incomparison to other comparable made rifles in their time.Manufacuring ended in the mid-70's. Since WWII, Husqvarna producedfour rifles. During WWII, Sweden's army, like the US, had switchedto a semi-automatic rifle, the Ljungman. Also like the US, theycouldn't produce enough of them, so the Swedish national riflefactory, Carl Gustaf, sent the machinery for producing Sweden'sMauser 96 to Husqvarna, and they began producing the Model 38Swedish Mauser, one of the most beautifully finished bolt-actionmilitary rifles of the 20th C. They are stocked in European walnutor beech.

After the war, Husqvarna imported some Mauser 98 actionsproduced by FN in Belgium, and did the finishing and stocking inSweden. This may be the finest of the FN Mausers, altough an ownerof an old Browning may disagree. This was called the High-Power.Most of these rifles have very light colored European walnutstocks, with a great deal of drop at the butt.

In the mid-50's, they developed the famous 'HVA' action- it wasa true Mauser 98, but a small-ring action, like the Swedish 96, butwith a much more sleek bolt release and a the true third lockinglug- the mark of the Mauser 98, and very expensive to produce. Imet this rifle in the '60's when an olympic-class shooter and riflecollector in our deer hunting party bought his wife one of these in7x57. When she unexpectedly died, he hunted only with this riflefor most of the next 15 years. He had many rifles in hiscollection, including many pre-'64 Model 70's, and he many timesthat he thought the Husqvarna HVA as the best bolt action of the20th C.

They were stocked in several patterns, including a nicely shapedmontecarlo, and a very trim schnabel-tipped version. From what I'veseen, the schnabels seem to all be European walnut, but some of themontecarlos are American black walnut. The lightweight was alsodone as a full-length Mannlicher style. Some American companiesbuilt rifles on this action, including H&R, S&W and Sears.In the later years Tradewinds company imported them, and also soldactions and barreled actions. Various model numbers were used,which often are not imprinted on the model. In the mid-60's, thesecomplete rifles sold for only about $125 at Herter's famouscatalogue store in Waseca MN. Remember, they were competinghead-to-head with Sako in Scandinavia; that will tell you abouttheir quality.

At the end of the company, they came up with a much cheaperaction, more like a Remington 700, which I believe is still inproduction under another name in Italy.
