Gunsmithing tradition in Huskvarna can be traced back to the 1300s and the first production consists of weapons from the 1620s. Until the 1870s produced large only munitions, pistols, carbines, muskets, etc.

Weapons production got towards the end of the 1800s a more civilian focus in the transition to hunting weapons. The last military weapon manufactured by Husqvarna was Automatkarbin 4 (AK4).
