What does MC stand for?

The tip of the stock is more red than black jacaranda

MC "Monte Carlo" probably, refering to the style of cheek piece on the Stock.

Make me an offer, the bluing is superb and I am starting to think stock might be original

Ha I wish-- I have my last rifles probably---and would need funds why well I would want to suppress and rebarrel to .270 so new barrel suppress that -

Frank de Haas, in his book on Bolt Action Rifles showed a HVA rifle with the same bolt shroud as yours. Barrelled actions and even perhaps bare actions were imported to the US by Smith and Wesson for their rifles. He said that the Serial No was on the flat underside of the receiver ring.
GPM.

Id be putting the ball in the fsa court. Im trying to forfill my legal obligations by registering a firearm in my posetion. Your system isnt allowing me to do so, so its your problem to sort out not mine....

1640

Do it over the phone, much as they dislike it they have to do a manual entry for a new type of firearm and or ammunition I encountered this when registering a Hollis 500 black powder express. Their first suggestion was to register it as 50 bmg, as that was all their system had. I also encountered it again with a 7x57r "let's just call it 7x57 ok?" No not ok

Youd think the register would need to have accurate info put into it if its going to be of any use at all....

They have tried to be too specific.
Did not follow the kiss principle.
Make, basic model, calibre and serial number. Nothing to specific. Like s9meone said they had to register a single shot BSA martini as a lever action. Bollocks

Ahhhh ……….. I phoned, they refused to register is as a Husqvarna HVA

Only compromise is that the Police will contact me and I have to send the police photographs for them to determine the model. Of course the Police will have no time to research it correctly so who knows what they will call it?

Problem is that in the future Police will try to ID it and stumble because it only has “HVA ACTION” written on it so it is going to confuse them forever and cause registration issues forever ……… register it as per what is stamped into the metal of the receiver to avoid confusion

Exactly …..It is very logical to register it as per what is stamped into the receiver so that future police can understand and record what they are looking at.

They probably refused it because that is not the model! - it is a Husqvarna 1640. It may have HVA Action stamped on the receiver, but the HVA is the abbreviation for the full Husqvarna company name. So I suggest you try again and keep it simple - Husqvarna, Model 1640, serial number as per under the receiver, 30-06, 4 rounds, fixed mag. Job done.

I gave up, if the make and serial # is correct, the bit in between is irrelevant. They talked me out of the facts, because it wasn’t on their list.
I’ve still to sort my Issac Hollis single barrel 12g hammer shotgun. I think I’ll ring back and take the double barrel one they have listed.
