Hello,

I've been mostly a lurker here for a while, but as I always enjoy looking at pictures of your beautiful rifles I thought I'd contribute with a project of mine, which I hope will follow me to my next Africa trip.

This is my recently acquired Husqvarna model 146 made in 1940. It is originally in 9,3x57 but I've changed it to 9,3x62. Husqvarna used a FN Mauser 98 action for these rifles. I've let a Swedish gunsmith make all the changes that I list below:

- New express sight with gold line.
- Added a band to the front sight and moved it back 2 cms.
- Added small English type rings to banded sling mount and stock.
- Added a buffalo foreend, and also checkering.
- Put on a Pachmayr Decelerator.
- Had a Recknagel swing mount fitted.

Next on the list to have done (after this years hunting season):

- Replace bolt handle, and replace flag safety with M/70 safety to accomodate a low scope mount.
- Replace the plastic grip end with steel one.
