I have a Husky 5000 made in '63 and it has a schnabel fore end.


Yes, the Husky 5000 had a schnable.

It's also one of the best rifles for offhand shooting I've ever held. It just holds so steady. I get the third degree on here about why I don't own left handed rifles but I haven't found a left handed gun that points and holds like my Husky .30-06 with it's 4X Leupy. When your rifle instills this much confidence in you it becomes a moot point which side of the gun the bolt handle is on because chances are you won't need a second shot. I might also mention it is the rifle laying across the buck in my avatar. The picture is too small to really see anything though.

The 1640 model would have a schnable forend while the the 3000 - 3100 would either a black plastic or rosewood forend tip.
