Husqvarna 33

Just unwrapped the first Husqvarna 33 I've ever seen. Know next to nothing about it. A 32-40 case will chamber, the bore appears to be more or less 30-32 caliber. The under side of the barrel is marked 7.6MM. Working on getting the bore slugged and the chamber figured out. The cleaning rod is missing. Anyone know if it was wood or steel like Remington rolling blocks? For that matter, any idea what it might be chambered in?

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

There was a very good thread here on ASSRA where we discussed the Type 33 and 33a Husky rollers a lot. But I just tried finding the old thread with no luck.
I own a Type 33A in 9.5x47R that's very close to .38-55 and I use that brass and dies to load for mine. Mine needs smaller diameter bullets so I use .376" bullets in my slightly shortened cases. I'd guess yours needs to be slugged to know exact groove diameter, and a chamber cast done to get an idea of what donor brass will work. Likely .30-30, .32-40, or .32 Win. Spl. brass may all work once you know the length and shape for sure.
Here's another link that has some info also:

I have one that I really need to do a chamber cast on, plus slug the bore.
I’m fairly sure mine is a 9.3x57R, otherwise known as the 360 2 1/4, but all that remains to be seen.
I will have to dig out photos, or perhaps take a few new ones.
It is very petite and elegant in comparison to a full size rolling block.

Forgot to address the wiping rod question. They were one piece metal, not wooden.
