My FN actioned 9.3 x 62
#121541 - 19/12/08 12:49 PM

Here are some pics of my 9.3 x 62 :

This is my dedicated pig gun for our tropical jungle forests.

It holds five down and one in the chamber, lots of firepower.

I like it!

Could it be a restocked M146 Husqvarna or no??

How 'bout some details!!

The stock looks similar to the ones fitted on the Whitworth Express rifles.

Sure looks like a Husqvarna 146 with a replacement stock

93x57 yes it is my old Husky 146 in new, you guessed it clothes. The original walnut stock was
much too light, so I fitted a spare Whitworth Express stock. The wood only had to be inletted where
the mag box release fits and it dropped in tightly. I acara glassed the rear pillar sleeve into
the wood around the rear trigger guard screw.

Now it weights more to soak up the recoil better than original that had a plastic butt plate. It is the same gun I posted in the Reloading forum.

From the serial number I think it is made about 1940 in Sweden on a FN action. Acording to the Swedish Mauser forums. 93x57 I have followed your posts on that forum.

I liked the "English" look to it.

Thank you for the kind comments.
