I got the date from the list on this site so I was going purely off of that for the year. http://www.rex.gl/serials.html

From everything I've been able to research it seems to be a Model 1640, but I have noticed some things are different between some of them.

I've still not found out how to get my pictures to post on here, or what the problem is with getting them to post.

I appreciate the information.

 

difference assembled action to> parts by another company and stock configurations..
was.maybe sold through sears?

 

High standard built rifles off other's actions. For example, they installed their barrels on FN Commercial 98's for Sear & Roebuck who sold them under the JC Higgins label as Model 50 and 51. Offered in .270 and .30-06. They did the same using the 1640 action and sold it as the Model 51-L.My understanding is that HS also sold some under their own moniker using the 1640 action.

Barrel will be very different from a Husqvarna 1640 barrel. Does it have the doughnut for the rear sight? If so, a 51-l stock would work. Otherwise, a stock maker can make you one with a starter channel for the barrel channel and you can inlet it.

 

Indeed it does have that same donut for the rear sight, and it has the High Standard mark in the same place on the barrel. So now I'm curious as to how to search for the parts I need to get it finished. Most of the springs are ok, except for the firing pin spring, safety selector, and bolt release. Other than those I need the floor plate, trigger housing, and a stock.

I wasn't able to find that information about High Standard using HVA actions on their own rifles though so that's a great deal of help.

 

You're barking up the wrong tree concerning serial numbers. Your rifle wasn't made by Husqvarna. The High Standard firm utilized Husqvarna Model 1600 actions to market its own branded rifles. Thus the serialization would be within High Standard serial ranges. Most of these rifles were made in the early sixties. See the Thread below referring to such Husqvarna action products used generally by other rifle makers including High Standard.
Last, my own Husqvarna actioned High Standard rifle photos. (Apologies concerning the low quality of these pix!)
The correct bottom metal you're missing is the later 1600 alloy pattern. Probably - not certainly - the earlier steel bottom metal would also fit & function if cartridge approximate to '06. The early bottom metal is subject 1600 stock bottom metal would fit. Inletting of stocks between steel and allow would not match or adapt where early steel and later alloy stock larger footprint involved. The Winchester Model 70 style "barrel boss" accommodation unique to High Standard would also likely have to be inletted!

These were great actions and the barrel is likely with "chrome lined bore", a High Standard touted feature in sales literature. A good combo. Because of the components missing, you might wish to consider seeking a much easier to find Husqvarna branded "parts rifle" as likely less expensive than acquiring separate components! I'd also do a headspace check in any case and before 'other' parts acquired.
Good Luck & Best!

Mine looks exactly like those in the pictures minus the obvious stuff. I've never worked on a Mauser action before but I'm assuming I can use my same gauges as I used when I replaced the barrel on my Rem 700 30-06, would I be correct in that assumption?

 

Yes, same headspace gages if that is what you mean. As for action parts, look for those for a Husqvarna 1600/1640. Yours should have an alloy bottom metal unit. Look for the appropriate floorplate. Good luck, it will be a handy dandy rifle when you complete it.

 

You have a rebranded High-Standard model 51-L made in 1962.
