Husqvarna 1900-series

About the Husqvarna 1900-series

The Husqvarna 1900-series is a Swedish bolt-action hunting rifle introduced in 1967. Built on a refined Mauser-pattern action with a staggered internal magazine and offered in a wide range of chamberings from .222 Remington up to 9.3x62mm, it was fitted with a walnut Monte Carlo or classic-style stock and a single-stage trigger with an optional set-trigger. Produced by Husqvarna Vapenfabrik until 1970, the design was continued by Carl Gustafs Gevarsfaktori through 1979 and earned a reputation for high-quality machining and accuracy.

When Husqvarna exited firearms manufacture around 1970 to concentrate on chainsaws and outdoor power equipment, the 1900-series lived on under Carl Gustafs Gevarsfaktori, and copies later surfaced from Italy marketed as the 'Viking 1900' and 'SG 1900'.

Husqvarna 1900-series specifications

Four different bolt-travel lengths were used to suit cartridges from the small .222 Remington class up to the .300 Winchester Magnum and 9.3x62mm. Husqvarna built the rifle from 1967 to 1970 before transferring production to Carl Gustafs Gevarsfaktori (FFV), which continued it until 1979. The factory single-stage trigger was set to roughly a 1500-gram pull weight.
