I have a Tradewinds Husky H5000 .270 Winchester with a Mauser-style action. It's an older model--newer ones did not have this type action.
I'm desperately looking for an extractor or even a bolt assembly for it. 98 and Swedish Mauser extractors don't work. I've tried every gun parts store on the web and I'm at a dead end. Please help.

  dgarvin1,
  
  Back in the '60's and '70's, Tradewinds of Tacoma, Wa. was the importer for Husqvarna rifles. Their designated model number was H-5000. Ironically, they used the same model number on Krico rifles after about 1972 when Husqvarna shut down their weapons division. Thus there is a bit of confusion.
  
  Yes, you could have a Husqvarna HVA action which is a small ring, long action Mauser-style. You're also right in that it is not an M98 but the new, improved Husqvarna action which replaced the myriad of other models.
  
  Best.

  I ordered one sight unseen, and it was exactly like the one in your photo. It wasn't the same as the one off my rifle (also about an inch too long).
  
  I was told that in the early days they were manufactured by Husqvarna and imported by Tradewinds. The receiver has "HVA Action Made in Sweden" stamped on it. I received a Swedish Mauser extractor, and it was very close, but not the same--bolt wouldn't close. Also, my dad got this rifle when he was very young--I believe he said 17, so this would've been 1965.
