Well actually two of them. Both in the 41000 serial # range.
The first one was a HVA marked one,but the forend was checkered,and was more of an oval shape,not thin like my early one is. Not a bad gun,d&t,and tang cracks though.
The second one,really has me wondering the more I think about it. The stock was in between the other one I saw and mine,but it had a cheek piece on it. The receiver looked to be scrubbed,but the tilted crowns were present. Now the real weird part. Sitting on the rack the barrel looked like a normal HVA,maybe a bit longer. Once I held it though something was definately different about it. The barrel was not HVA. It had a name on it,that at first looked like Helqvist,was marked 9.3x57 right under the name,just in front of the receiver,then under it all in line weas the serial number. Then a knurled ring was around the barrel before the sight if I remember correctly. I'm trying to get some pics of it.
