Picked this one up recently, a little beat up, but they're hard to find and I kinda like 'em that way.

That is a VERY impressive list of famous Swedes!! Thanks for posting! Jan G. has been my favoriate author for most of my life. We easily have more Swedish language books by him than any other Swedish author, thanks in no small part to his several 10-volume series.

No, I've never heard of them but it's been years (decades) since I've been in Doniphan.

Joe

A very nice rifle indeed and I have to agree Aaron. A used rifle showing use, not abuse is a very self rewarding firearm to own. Sometimes we tend to forget it is not just a rifle of the times. But a very vital tool possibly to help put food on the table, protect their livestock, their home and might have even been handed down.

I'm not sure, I haven't received it yet. I'm thinking it might be 9.3 x 57R as the auction listed it at "about 357 bore" .  Many others seem to be in this caliber, so we'll see when it arrives. I don't cast, so I'll probably have to buy bullets, I can deal with the brass.

If memory serves, that's a Model 33 sporter by Husqvarna, perhaps the most coveted European rolling block among aficionados.

Rebel, I see that your serial number is lower than Vall's and his bore is oversized and he is successfully shooting 38-55 bullets in shortened (.1 inch I think) 38-55 brass. A chamber cast is in order. Both mine are much later and are definitely 9.3x57R(360) with .367 barrels.

thanks, oneatatime,
Certainly, that is the proper procedure. 
Vall lucked out, his is probably 9.5 x 57R. 
Then again, Vall often lucks out. Chance favors the prepared mind.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Glad you bought it! I was tempted to buy it so I'd have a half stock to go with my full stock 33A. Whether it's a 9.3 or a 9.5 it will still be easy to load for, and they're great shooters. The folks at Husqvarna really knew how to build Rolling Blocks as good as Remington. 
You'll love the feel and weight of this gun when you get it in your hands! They're just graceful, and petite!
