Husky questions - 10/27/21
I have a Husky 640 that I inherited in 30/06. The gun is in good condition. It has a very old leupold on it and a funky muzzle brake, from Im guessing 1960’s to early 70. There is also a very hard recoil pad that I need to replace.
First question. Since the barrel has the serial number, is it legal to replace the barrel?
Second question . Has anyone had a husky rebored to 338/06 or 35 Whelen?
Third. If you had one rebored how did it shoot?
I have a bunch of 06 rifles so something different sounds good to me.
I have the tools to replace the pad. I also plan on lightning the stock.
I have not figured out how to remove the muzzle brake. There is a set screw that I removed and Was unable to break the brake free. It looks like it belongs on a space gun.
