szihn, I think sir that you may be confusing the Husqvarna 1640 action with the 96.
The 94 and 96 are for all intents and purposes, identical. In military guise, they differed by virtue of the fact that the 94 was a carbine and the 96 a rifle.
You also mis-read my post, I claimed the 96 and 94 were the same not the 94 and 98.
Say what you will but the Husqvarna M46AN, built on a 96 action, was factory chambered in 9,3x62. Got one in my shop. Same identical action as the M46 which was chambered in 9,3x57.
The Kar98a and b were WWI era as I previously described. The side of the action was marked Kar(a) or (b). The WWII K98k was marked Mod 98. Both were standard length 98 actions. But that is neither here nor there since they were not used to make Husqvarna commercial sporting rifles. The first "Commercial" rifles using the 98 action were produced in 1898. Between 1898 and 1946 Mauser made just under 127,000 commercial sporting rifles.
If the OP's rifle cocks on opening and has the "third lug", then it would be a 98. The pre-98's did not have a 3rd lug.
