Husqvarna m/40 Serial Number 232
Posted by Griffinjohnes@reddit | ForgottenWeapons | View on Reddit | 20 comments
Picked up this early serial number m/40 today at lgs. Holster is labeled Lindkvist (assume last name) and T2 (using ww2 era Swedish unit designation, would be göta army service corps, a logistic regiment. If I’m wrong here, please correct me)

What's the extended can key used for?
eraserheadcumtribute@reddit
Probably a cleaning rod
tfreak66@reddit
Yes, it's the cleaning rod.

Is this the same Husqvarna as the chainsaws?
ManufacturerLost7686@reddit
Yes. Used to be an industrial giant.
Husqvarna made everything from guns to motorbikes, to ovens and sewing machines.

I want a Husqvarna gaming console

What Swedish titles do you think it would launch with? Escape From Ikea would definitely be one.

Wow I didn’t know that they made firearms that’s crazy

Also if you look at there current logo, it’s gun sights.

Their cock on close Swedish Mausers are really cool.
Zerskader@reddit
Supposedly the Husqvaarna logo is a gun sight.

The company was originally formed to make firearms, other manufacturing came later.
I have several model 1815 and model 1845 model muskets. They made so many of them there are some wild conversions out there.
In fact the m/1815-1845 model was so popular civilian hunters used them up until the 1960's.

turns out they started out making firearms

looks like they sold off the motorcycle division to an Indian multinational though

Yeah worst decision ever. The husky nuda was the best naked

I actually just saw one of these at my LGS and almost bought it. Ended up getting a Bambi 14 instead. Sweet buy!!

Not many of those left

Remember kids; it is 'Hus-kvarna' and not 'Husk-varna'.
