....or, if they will still be "New In Box" when you are "Dead In Box".
Sounds like a line from a Dr. Seuss book.

I don't keep it if I aint shooting it.
Sold an NIB Browning 1886 because it was too pretty to risk injury from even a controlled environment shooting session.
I also find it interesting when someone lists a gun for sale: "As NIB, less than 100 rounds." If it's been fired it's used whether it's in a box or not.

Never bought a rifle I didn't shoot.

I came across this Husqvarna "Swede" while looking for a 700 action for a new build. A friend of my father's had this in his collection that was new and unfired and I like these having owned three of these type rifles already. I spoke with forum member " sbhva " and he told me that they were very rare here in the states. Not that 1900's were rare, but having one in this stock configuration (straight comb w/cheek piece and Schnabel fore end)) made them rare. I bagged the custom rifle build idea and just decided to keep this one to collect dust. I was told by Husky collectors that fetching $1500 for this wouldn't be that hard of a task, maybe a little more in Canada where they are even more popular. ![[Linked Image]](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/RDFinn/05b5a762-af93-4869-bf0e-fd5cce90815b.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/RDFinn/P1000722-2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r74/RDFinn/HuskySuper.jpg) If you got one of these, you don't need a donor. Nice rifles.

Is that the original buttplate?
That style of Husqvarna 1900 stock is very similar to the S&W "C".

It will leave my cold dead hands Bob. I have a full blown custom with a Hart barrel and a McMillan Mountain Rifle pattern stock that was stocked by McMillan. Finished all the metal in Black-T as well. Very smooth actions and nice triggers too.
As far as the recoil pad is concerned, it might have been replaced cause the guys over at Gun Boards stated they thought it came with a hard plastic pad from the factory. Guy I bought it from bought it brand new and never changed it himself. When I bought it there was a ton of packing grease in the action which I cleaned out.

I believe that it would have come with a molded plastic butt-plate with a Husqvarna "H" in a script-style font.

I had a fancy version in 30/06 with the rosewood grip cap and forend tip as well that had a hard plastic "recoil" pad that I sold here in the classified's. The (rubber) pad that's on this rifle is made by Pachmayr.
