Are those Husqvarnas? Factory stocks? Mine is a 1937-1938 M146 Husqvarna. The M146s were made on Belgium FN M98 actions. Earlier ones, like mine, are 'C' ring. Yes, factory stock.

Well Bob,
guess we get along so well because you have the same tastes as I do on what a REAL rifle is...
even tho I tend to use calibers much smaller than an 06 anymore...

John, it's like this one I posted earlier. An Oberndorf "B" with a pre64 winchester 30/06 bbl on it. I stuck the Lyman 48 on it one day at the shop.

Nothing like an old workhorse. This is a 1903-A3 that was inspected at Ogden Armory by Elmer Kieth... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/Elk/122_3201.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/rifles/117_2563.jpg)

Sadly my old eyeballs need that darn scope on top to see anything anymore... ya know, we have a Back to the 50s each summer in our small town, that is well attended... on Saturday night the two north and south main streets are blocked off and they have a cruise for like 4 or 5 hours... While folks love the 60s muscle cars as I do, my favorite local car is this: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/BaCK_TO_THE_50S_2011_704.JPG) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/BaCK_TO_THE_50S_2011_698.JPG) 51 Cadillac..... I think my taste in guns run like my taste in cars... Big, Brawny, Audacious, AMERICAN and Classic.... Solid Pieces of Function...

Fun times John.
As for the 1903's, my grandfather worked at the 2nd street arsenal in Ogden. He moved from St, Anthony,ID to Ogden when the war broke out. He worked there from 1942 to 1974.
Anyway, he knew Elmer. Although I don't think that they were friends, just acquaintances. They were both from Idaho, and I guess they had similar back grounds in farming.
Back in those days, when I was just a kid and had no clue to who EK was. I'm sure that I read more than one of his articles.
Just how many gun writers had back grounds related to Idaho. O'Conner, Keith, Taffin ?
Anyway. Thanks for posting the pics of these grand old rifles.
