Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Well I finally got up the nerve to D&T my tang for a better sight! Had a Marbles "Special Flexible Base Sight" in an oddball spacing, and nothing to put it on. So D&T the Husky and installed it. Should be a huge improvement over the 3 leaf express sight on the barrel, plus give a much longer sighting radius! Not sure how far it will reach out, but the express wouldn't reach much past 125 yds. without holding over.

Neat job, Vall. Everytime I see the photos of those rifles you guys have, I think how neat they are. I've never seen one I don't think.

Thanks! I was surprised how easily the casehardened frame D&T'd! Remington Rolling Blocks can be very tough, and I've snapped off taps trying to do them before. But this Husky went really well, and seemed like the casehardening was not nearly as hard.

Recently I acquired a 33a half stock from a Forum member. It is in beautiful shape but the curious thing is that it is .23 cal! The bbl is marked Husqvarna. The bore is .220x.231. A .22 Hornet case fits perfectly. However, the twist is 19" so I think it was a gallery rifle. I am waiting on a 35 gr mold to see how it will really shoot as the 42 gr bullet is too heavy for the twist. I know that the precursor of the .22 WCF and later the .22 Hornet was the 5.6x35r Vierling but I have never seen anything that mentions the Husky in that cal. I know of another in the same caliber but full stocked. Any info on this strange caliber would be appreciated.

Haven't heard of a .22CF Husqvarna 33, but since you mention seeing another, it seems it may be possible. Possibly a factory conversion done later? Or some limited run? Very slow twist!
