If you have a 1943 vintage Husqvarna, you have an M38, not a cut-down 1896.
I'm a fan of the Husqvarna M38s, I think that they are the best of the pre-1898 style Mauser military rifles and have reworked over a dozen of them.
There are 3 things that I ALWAYS change on them:
1. Replace the trigger with a Bold or Timney unit that has an integral safety.
2. Replace the bolt shroud with a commercial style shroud that has a larger gas shield.
3. Install a Dayton-Traister cock-on-opening kit.
John Olson's Book Of The Rifle might have information on how the barrels were rifled.
I have 1943 Husqvarna that I rebarreled to 8x57 and bedded it in a B&C stock, SN 6515xx.
