Barrel and sights
The octagonal barrel is 68 cm long (approx. 27 inch). The barrel is rifled and has a twist rate of about 1:??? . It is chambered for the 45-70 cartridge, the metric denotation is 11.4x53R. In the Jan Tuveson book “Gamla Svenska Vapen” it is written that the 45-70 cartridge was loaded with “röksvag” powder or nitro powder. The caliber is marked on top of the barrel “Husqvarna Vapenfabriks AB, Kal 45-70.”
The sight is a flip sight for 2 distances; 60 m and 120 m. The front sight has a German silver inlay and is fixed with a screw on the barrel.
