Added another handy to the fold....
« on: October 04, 2006, 12:48:18 AM »
 ;D I picked up a M48 Topper last night.  Friend of a friend need help pricing out a collection. I wasn't interested in many, but for helping out I scored a deal on a neat fold-in-half 410 Dbl Kassiner Omega and this H&R 48.

Hopefully someone will have an idea on its age. Overall its in good condition, but needs a good cleaning. has some surface rust  but the action is tight and barrel straight. Walnut stocks in nice condition!
 Here is some pics and the SN.









The price was right @ $40!!!

Let me know what you think..

That's a real nice looking shotgun.  A good grab for 40$.

Gun Trader shows the Topper 48 manufactured between 1946-1957.

Enjoy!

nice looking shotgun. 

With a little cleaning, Im sure that it will be a fun little single.

Also some nice lever actions in the background.

The I prefix to the serial number denotes it was made in 1948.  Very nice piece, should be a great gun.

 Yea, I got it cleanned up last night. The bluing on the barrel is now pretty thin. But it adds to the patinna! :o ::) The wood is in great shape and the trigger is horrendus!! but i like it. Hopefully I can get to the range soon, I have about three now that need shooting!!!

 Thanks again,
