Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats ATTN: Husqvarna Model 1640 action rifle owner's a new drop In Trigger Option

Hello All
I sat down last Night to install my new Huber Concept's firctionless ball Ball bearing trigger in my S&W Husqvarna. The direction's are very straight forward, all you will need to do is Take your Barrel & action out of your stock, then Tap the trigger Pin out of the Trigger assembly with a small Punch and hammer and remove the stock trigger. Once that has been Taken out replace it with the Huber concept's trigger and adjust your trigger to your liking per the Instructions shown. I did end up having to remove a slight amount of wood down around my Trigger Guard assembly in my wood stock due to Extra wood in that area, Stock's will differ as S&W apparantly made the wood to fit these action's and barrels, but it was very Minimal and will Not hurt the strength, or Integrity of the stock. Once this trigger was installed I set it at 3/4 of a Pound with No creep and it feels as smooth as Velvet when the trigger breaks clean now. I look forward to getting this gun on the Range this coming week to see what kind of group's it will print now. Here is the Instructions as well as how the Huber trigger looks in a Husqvarna rifle. To me, this is the best thing to add to your Husqvarna Model 1640 action if you strive for accuracy and a Precision Trigger Huber concept's has sure filled that Need with Style, precision and High Quality. I will Post some pictures of traget's shot with thie new trigger soon. Regards, The General

The Zoli 1900s are made in Italy by Zoli, under license. Zoli will
be importing them, along with their shotguns, out of their HQ in Bulverde, TX.

Sounds good,general.
Checked the pull weight on my 1640 last evening. 7.25lbs

Hello EZEarl
I am not the Least Bit Surprised, The Trigger Pull on these Husqvarna Model 1640 action's is at best Horrid. To me, it is the Only Fault of a finer High quality rile. I have had many High end rifles in the past 40 Years' and being that I am a Collector of fine firearms I am also a hand Loader who strives for perfection in making One Ragged hole group's on Target with my rifles. This Trigger Issues has kept me from doing that, and I am Not a Lover of Timney's Luke warm Attempt Trigger assembly that they are currently offering. Not Only do you have to Hack UP a Gorgeous stock to use it, as well as Modify the Gun's Safety lever system & the Trigger consist's of letting off the trigger of a gun through Spring Pressure on the gun's action sear and everyone Know's over time Springs ALWAYS change and get weak or stretch. That is what set's Huber concept's Trigger a Cut above the rest John Huber Engineered & designed his trigger to work with the existing Factory Husqvarna trigger assembly and he has done so by using an Ingenious Twin Precision Ball Bearing design which provide's a Millisecond Lightning Fast fast Timing Mode, where as the Bullet is Gone Long before you expect it to be, eliminating any Flinching what so ever, which is Very Common on Big Recoiling caliber's which means to The shooter supreme accuracy of the weapon as you are not waiting on a compressed spring to let lose of your trigger Sear. Evidently Timney has Little Regard for their customer's Real Need's offering the Trigger that they do & have in the past for these rifle's so I will not spend my Hard earned dollars on their Low Performance, ILL Engineered Luke waste of money Trigger assembly.

In Keeping everyone apprised at Just what to expect when Installing one of John Huber's Excellent Frictionless Trigger's, I have to Place a call to Gary their P&R Guy early Monday Morning. Gary told me that this Trigger was an easy Drop in style where I would only have to shave 0.02" at the very Most of the stock wood around my Trigger guard area to allow the use of their trigger. That may hold True for the Sweden made Husqvarna rifle's, but in my Case with this S&W Model-A Rifle of mine this was Not True. My Gun shipped into S&W in 1967. It came to S&W as a Barreled action. S&W designed and Built the Gorgeous wood stock for it and in the process evidently made their stock's Much Thicker in the trigger Guard area, than the Swedish Built Husqvarna's. Now, I Not Bragging , but I am a 43 Year Mechanic, so I saw this as No Huge deal, I used a air Powered die grinder with a rotary tip to modify the front trigger Guard area of my wood stock. The Problem was that the Huber Trigger Creep Allen head screw would not go down into my wood stock to allow it enough clearance for my action to mate back up as it should. I took about ten Minute's of my time to alter the wood some what and it fit perfectly when I was done, But I want to tell Other's reading this article I have Written that if you have a S&W Branded rifle there may have to be some slight Modifying of your stock. Just Like anything else stock's may vary so some may Not need any modification, where as other's like mine may need this, so if this Intimidates you, Buyer Beware. I can tell you, that aside from that this Trigger is Superb in any fashion or form and I am really Looking forward to getting my gun on the bench rest to se just how accurate it is now. You can set these trigger's as low as you Like, I chose for mine to break clean at 3/4 of a Pound with Zero Creep. I am Certain that This Huber concept's trigger will forever change my attitude of this rifle from here forward. I will post Picture's of my Target result's as soon as I have them to do so. Regards The General

Hello Guy's
I got to the Range Yesterday to try out my new Huber Concept's Competition ball bearing Frictionless Trigger. I can tell you that John Huber has done his home work Well on these trigger's what a Huge difference it made in my Husqvarna rifle. I had Many shot's while firing it that went off before I expected them to Surprising me and that Spells accuracy. I have my New Trigger set @ 3/4 of a Pound weight with Zero Creep and it breaks Like Glass due to The Ball bearing Fristionless design John has come up with. I set my Target @ The Hundred Yard range for Load testing, Ihad with me two different hand load's using 150 Grain Bullet's both Ballistic tip type Bullet's. It was a Nice Cool 65 Degrees here in Knoxville, Tennessee Yesterday with almost No wind Present and was very Sunny. I was shooting my own hand load's using Accurate Arm's Powder in One hand Load and IMR Powder in the Other hand Load Both were dispensed at near Maxium Hunting loading level's so The Recoil of my Gun was Just Wicked. The Bullet's I loaded were Hornady Ballistic tipped 150 Grain weight. The Other hand Load was Nosler Ballistic Tipped 150 Grain weight as well.






I had to sight my Gun in as it's classic Redfield wide View 3-9 variable scope was off some from the last time I used it and I Strongly Suspect that some of that may have been caused by Flinching due to such a High Trigger Pull weight being 7- Pound's that my gun used to have. I did Get some Nice clover leaf group's Just Under the size of a dime while shooting it so it is Now Very accurate to Hunt Deer with this year, and John Huber's Trigger is the very reason for this new accuracy that it has. It will take some work to get this gun to produce One Ragged hole group's as the Wicked High recoil of it simply Stomped me into the ground shooting Hunting Load level ammunition, and my Right shoulder feel's Like Ground Chuck this AM from it. I can tell you that you are Striving for accuracy out of your Husqvarna rifle, that adding this Huber concept's Trigger is The Very best thing one can do for a Husqvarna rifle with the 1640 action as John Huber has filled a very Important Need in these guns. If you are Hindered by Your Husqvarna's High Trigger Pull do your self a Huge favor and get one of John's Ball bearing Frictionless Trigger's as they are Evrything he say's that they are and More, and I can gurantee that you will not be Disapointed in their performance, it is Just What These Old Husky's Needed to make them The Perfect hunting or Bench Rest Performance Guns.

Hello All
I have been working Very hard at perfecting a Good stout Hunting Load for my S&W Husqvarna rifle. Since I Placed this new Huber Ball Baring frictionless Trigger it has Enhanced my Gun and filled a Huge Need in the gun as the factory Trigger was Pure garbage. In working up a heavy Hunting load I selected some Hornady SXT style Bullet's of 150 Grain weight. These Bullet's are of Boat tail design and have the Plastic ballist tip's on them. I tried Three different load's for my gun and settled on the one shown on target below. I must confess here Guy's, that due to the High Recoil of the Springfield 30-06 Caliber, I needed to space the day's in testing as it Quickly Turned my Right shoulder into Ground Chuck with Black & Blue Brusing. I no Longer enjoy the High recoil of this rifle but I also Understand to wring out the gun's Highest level of accuracy it will require Much bench shooting to get it where I wanted it on target. In this last session of Target Load testing, I set the scope target's @ The 100 Yard Line as well as the 200 Yard Line. I did make some Minor scope adjustment's while shooting it so that is why some of the shot's are Not in the Ten Ring area of the target, as I progressed with it, The Shot's's went where I intended them to be though, and I was Pleased with the Over all perfomance of the tested Load and Gun's Trigger it Really shines now. As I mentioned I am Very Pleased with the group's this hand Load Produced as the Gun is a Sporter type tapered barrel Type rifle so one can not expect it to shoot and react like a serious bench rest type gun. These group's are much better than I expected and are the Very best that it has ever produced I Now, have Huber Concept's to Thank for that. I did E-mail Gary this AM and shared with him that installing their Trigger in my S&W Husqvarna took a Little more work than I expected, as they Intended their trigger's for the Husqvarna Built wood stock's and there is a difference between them and the S&W made wood stocks on these Guns but other than That Minor Issue I was very Pleased with it and it's Supreme Velvet Smooth performance. Gary is Very self conscience type Guy, so I strongly suspect that he will look into my concern's and make the needed changes to make these trigger's a Breeze to Place in the S&W Husqvarna guns in the very near future. In closing here, I can tell you that I have Dealt with Hundred's of supplier's in my Life time, but I have never dealt with any Like Huber Concept's they are Trully Pasionate for shooter's and stive to perfect and please their Buying Public, they are Great guy's get you one of their Trigger's there is NO One else out there to offer anything this amazing and easy to Place in our Guns, of which They Really Lacked in coming from the factory. Regards, The General



Here is my test target shot @ The 100 Yard Line with my New Huber Concept's Trigger, which Really makes the Accuracy of this gun shone now




Here is a Three shot cluster group which is Under the Size of a dime shot @ the 100 Yard Line as well, This was NOT able to be done with this Rifle Until I Placed the Huber Trigger in it now it makes this Gun my favorite Gun




Here is my test target set @ The 200 yard Line shot with my Huber concept's Frictionless ball bearing Trigger

Hello
I have been working Intently with this rifle since I Placed it's new Huber concept's trigger in it. I have to Take breaks between set's of working with it due to the High recoil of the Springfield 30-06 Cartridge this gun can quickly Turn your shoulder into Ground Chuck when firing it in experimenting Target shooting sessions. I now am as light as I care to be with it's trigger being just a Half a pound of pull with Zero creep, These Trigger's are amazing and will turn your Husky into a Match grade rifle quickly. I will Post some newer test targets when I get back on the bench with this rifle. Regards, The General

I installed one of thos on an fn build for a customer and was impressed. I think it is the best trigger made for Mauser actions. Tho most people won't spend the extra money I think it is worth it..

tag

I really should get one.

Back up with old thread. Does anyone know if this trigger for the Husqvarna 1640 (S&W Mod B) is still available? Any experience with one?
I emailed Huber Concepts but did not received an answer, asking if the HVA Mauser listed for order on their site is the one for the S&W branded 1640.


Thanks,
GeoW

I love the Huber Concepts trigger on my Husqvarna 1651. Highly recommend.

Heard Huber doesn't sell his triggers anymore

Thanks. May be as I've not received an email response from him.

The adjustable trigger on the Tradewinds imported Dlx model 1640 is a very good trigger. Grab one if you stumble across one. They look like this.

Thanks L2S, learned of that particular trigger couple years back. Have been on the lookout since. Rare as hens teeth! I'll keep looking, and if anyone reading this thread knows of one please let me know!
