The rifle was advertised and sold through Sears and Roebuck Co. It is true that Husqvarna used FN actions on the 640, but the barrel and wood on the Model 51 are different than that found on the HVA 640. ![]() Some report that the later Model 51 was simply an imported Husqvarna 640 and the Model 52 was simply a relabeled Sako L46. Later models included the Model 5151-L built on the FN and Husqvarna actions, Model 52 by Sako, and the last Model 54 by Browning. The Model 50 was originally produced by Belgiums Fabrique Nationale using a commercial 98 Mauser action and 22 inch chrome lined barrel from High Standard. Information on these rifles often conflicts so I have included information derived from the predominant consensus and my own findings of fact. Higgins Model 50 was the creation of the Sears and Roebuck Co. If not, Ill hold on to it and maybe take it hunting with me one day. So I got it in the cabinet with the rest of my guns ready for him if he ever gets ready for it. That was about 10 years ago and he told me to just hold on to it. ![]() My dad quit hunting when I was young, and it sat in a closet collecting dust till I told my dad I was going to get it out and clean it up for him. ![]() The guns were made for Sears by Fabrique Nationale using commercial mauser actions. ![]()
