Since 1950 Husqvarna have mainly used cold-hammer forged barrels. The cocking-piece got a new shape and looks like the one on the present Carl Gustaf 2000 rifles. It got a small extra guiding-lug on the lower locking-lug. It uses short modern extractor and ejector. Husqvarna model 1900 In 1967 Husqvarna released a new action. Approx 60000 were made from 1970 -1979, serial numbers 300, missing out large chunks of the numbering system. Husqvarna manufactured the Model 1900 in the HVA Gunworks, serial numbers 307 Then FFV/Carl Gustaf bought the Gunworks and continued to manufacture the 1900 under the FFV designation. Remingtons made after 1921 use a date code on the barrel that is pretty accurate, but numbers do repeat. The code doesn't work on all rifles, especially limited runs of specific rifles, but is accurate on most. On MOST Marlins made 1972-present subtract the 1st 2 digits of the SN from 100 to get the DOM. My rifle also has the earlier steel trigger guard and floorplate assembly. The barrel sports a small crest and the word 'Nitro'-a smokeless powder proofmark. On the bottom of the receiver ring are proof marks and a serial number. It is also molded into the plastic buttplate. My rifle has the Husqvarna crest stamped on top of the receiver ring.
