After reading- posting on the gun case thread, got to thinking about my guns.
I have a number of handguns in 2 safes.
But a few years ago I sold down my long guns.
I now only have 3.
A Rem bolt 22, my old Sears single barrel 20 GA,
And one centerfire rifle, 30-06.
One not that often seen.
I think this is the only Lefthanded one I ever saw.
Have seen only 2-3 RH ones.
It’s a what?

BSA Monarch Deluxe?

Keep on trucking!
This gun is so confusing, even after extensive research
I’m not 100% sure!
But I will - tell you what it says on the receiver-
And then what I have found online.

I am wondering if it could be a Herters rifle but cannot
remember if they had rifles with left hand actions.

Looks like a Husqvarna made, Model 1900 action rifle.
Those are push feed,,no extractor on the outside of the bolt.
The earlier Model 1640 was the controlled feed and has the MAuser style extractor on the bolt.
The slender bolt shroud was a characteristic of the 1900 also. The 1640 has a M98 style.
The Model 1900 was marketed as the Model 9000 in some foreign markets.
S&W were first made on the 1640, then most of the production was on the 1900 action IIRC.

A Husky marked S&W perhaps,,or just a Tradewinds Distributors marked Huskey or a later Carl Gustof-FFV production rifle.

Not much of a guess,,lots of holes in it!

2152, no wonder he works at HQ.
Not much writing on this Rifle.
Just: Carl Gustaf
Sweden
and ser. no., 30-06, nitro.
I got it from a guy who didnt know anything about it.
My Buddies looked at it and said never saw one like that before,
but that's a Good Looking Rifle!
and it says Carl Gustaf? Sweden?
That's good stuff!
I thought it was either the 8000 or 9000 series.

If you want to read a complicated and confusing tale of how Swedish gun makers are messing with my mind, here you go-
Carl Gustaf — When this rifle was introduced on these shores in 1969, it was known as the Husqvarna Model 9000. As its designation indicates, the action was designed by Husqvarna in Sweden, which prior to that was manufacturing a commercial Model `98 Mauser that was fully equal in quality to the FN Supreme actions made in Belgium for Browning.

Shortly after the new action was put into production, Husqvarna’s firearms division was purchased by FFV, Sweden’s national armaments conglomerate. Military contracts were drying up at the time, and the company had to find work to comply with that nation’s cradle-to-grave employment policies.

For a short time, the gun was imported and sold by Smith & Wesson as the Model 9000 Crown Grade, but then FFV decided to establish a subsidiary company here to market the gun themselves. That’s when the name of the gun was changed to Carl Gustaf in honor of Sweden’s kings. But that, too, was short lived, and in the mid-1970s, Stoeger became the new importer and marketer of the gun under the same Carl Gustaf name. Again, that was for a brief time. By the end of the `70’s, the gun was no longer being imported.

During the few short years this gun was available here — under whatever name — it just may have been the smoothest bolt-action rifle on the planet. It was a twin-lug, Mauser-type action, but what made it unique and so slick in its operation was its dovetail shape locking lugs. These engaged similar-shaped raceways in the receiver to provide lateral bolt support that straight-walled lugs cannot.

It was also one of the cleanest actions in that there was no external bolt stop/release, and the shroud at the rear of the bolt was beautifully streamlined. Cosmetically, it was one of the most beautiful actions ever designed.

Though I’m getting tired of saying it, several Carl Gustaf rifles passed through my hands without my keeping even one. I did, however, get the opportunity to hunt with a couple of them. One chambered in 7mm Rem Magnum I used to take my best mule deer to date.

The Carl Gustaf was styled, finished and priced at about the same level as a contemporary Weatherby Mark V.
