Hello, everyone, I have lurked on this forum for awhile for the available information from knowledgeable folks. This is my first post. I have a variety of Swedes in military and commercial, backed into the commercial because of my fondness for my Swedish milsurps and FSRs.
I have a few questions. Does the 1640 use small ring barrels like the m38/96? Anyone know if a 1640 action comes close to fitting in a 96 action type sporter stock? How strong are the "strengthened 96 actions" used by HVA in 640/648(?) rifles, specifically, are they strong enough for stronger 6.5x55 SE or 6.5x55AI loads? Lastly, can someone direct me to the page I saw once that had the chronology and descriptions of HVA commercial rifles?
Thanks,
Robert
