Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Husky HVA stock?

Also posted this in the Gunwriter forum, so please forgive the redundancy, but am trying to cover the bases, so to speak.

Anyone out there have (or know a gunsmith who has) a Husqvarna HVA stock?
My kid broke his, for the second time, yesterday! Two years ago he was hiking down a steep, icy trail. Did the classic whoops thing, smacked his gunstock and broke it at the wrist.
Gorilla glue works wonders, though, and he's shot an elk and several deer & antelope with it since. Yesterday, though, we were getting the horses through some kinda bad deadfall, & he had a minor rodeo. I didn't see it happen, as was fully occupied with my own saddle horse & two packhorses, but when he caught up was in a foul humor indeed, and the gunstock is done for, this time.
So, I just called Gentry's, but I know they try to shut things down this time of year (don't blame them a bit!), & the Mrs. wasn't sure if they had a take-off. Someone does, though...?

The fella from mcMillan chimed in on another thread a while back and I'm fairly certain that he said that they made stocks for this action. Might be more then you want to spend though...

When I talked with Gentry's yesterday, the Mrs. said setting up one of their stocks to fit the Husky would be a custom deal, & might cost more than the rifle is worth.

I know, to gun enthusiasts this statement defies logic on several levels, but she may be right anyway. Because it really needs a different trigger too, and then probably a 3-position safety also. Might be simpler to just buy a featherweight M70, which is what we were kinda looking for back when my son was 12 (turning 18 in a couple of months, and the finest hunting partner anyone could ask for), but no, he likes the Husky.
I always figured I'd do the aforementioned upgrades if/when I draw a goat or sheep tag, but for the moment we'd settle for a stock...

Look up a fella with the screen name sbha (I think that's right), he might have what you are looking for.

I have one. Contact me at gavel95@aol.com

Yes, by all means do a Blackburn trigger and a Dakota 3 position safety. That and a new stock is all anyone could ask for. Your son is right....very good rig! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

There isn't a Winchester 70 made that will be as good as
what you have already! So forget that idea. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
