I inherited a 1950 Husky in 30-06 which my father-in-law purchased in Alaska in 1950. It had the stand Model 98 action with the military style wing safety. He replaced the safety with a commercial wing safety in 1965 to clear a scope.
The rifle has nice bluing and a jeweled bolt, which is in sharp contrast to the functional arctic birch stock. The action is very smooth. The stock has been set aside and it now wears a Tupperware stock. The weight reduction made the rifle a little more hunter friendly.
Later Husky’s were fancier, with French Walnut stocks.
I fired a couple courses of fire on a LEO range out to 300 yards with the rifle. The rifle is accurate with full power loads. Because of its weight with the wood stock, and a recoil pad it is pleasant to shoot. (Most people) I talked a small statue female LEO into shooting it. She was rather threatening where she would stick the rifle if it hurt her. I was a little concerned but not to because she had no issues with Remington Police 870 loaded with buckshot and slugs.
The only reason I did not have to mug her to get it back was she shot up all my ammunition. The weight of the rifle kept the recoil down and the accuracy was a big reward and incentive to like the rifle.
I was toying with having it re-chambered for the 300 Winchester Magnum when my daughter started looking a 30-06 for her husband at Christmas. The SIL now has the rifle.
I am not in the market for a rifle, but if I came across a used Husky in similar condition I would do a lot of tossing and turning.
Wildcat brother has bought a couple of what I believe to be the Husqvarne 4000/4100 light weight series with the improved Mauser action. These have been turned into custom wildcats. I am a little jealous because of the quality of the Husky actions. Having one in 270 Winchester would by icing on the cake.
Go to the bottom of this link and see if your take down question is answered.

“Maintenance
(1) Stripping (a) To remove bolt. Cock the rifle by working the bolt, and set the safety lever halfway between the safe and the locked positions. Pull the bolt back. Then pull out the near end of the bolt stop, which is located on the left side of the receiver near the cutoff. Hold the bolt stop out while you remove the bolt from the receiver.
(b) To disassemble bolt. Press in the bolt-sleeve lock and unscrew the bolt sleeve, firing pin, and spring assembly. Now place the tip of the firing pin in the hole in the stock of the rifle. Compress the spring, pushing down on the bolt sleeve until the bolt sleeve clears the headless cocking piece. Turn the cocking piece a quarter turn in either direction and remove it from the firing pin shaft. Ease up on the bolt sleeve so as not to allow the spring to escape suddenly. Remove the bolt sleeve and firing-pin spring from the firing pin.
(c) To remove magazine floor plate. Insert the point of a bullet or a pointed tool into the small hole in the magazine floor plate, and exert pressure while at the same time pushing the floor plate toward the trigger guard. This will release the catch and the magazine floor-plate spring and follower can then be removed and broken down into their separate units. Further stripping is not usually necessary.
(2) Assembly. The assembling is done in the reverse order to that described above.”
From your description I believe you have a 1950 or 1951 High Power. This is based on the wing safety. I believe later Husky Improved Mauser action had a side sliding safety.
