Topper 158 ?
« on: October 16, 2008, 05:18:00 PM »
I have a 20 ga Topper 158.Can I order a USH barrel from the factory for it ? I looked on the web site and it said the SN had to start with a N or H but I don't even Know where the SN is on the gun.

No, the 158 was made by the original H&R that went out of business in 1986, that's why H&R1871 won't fit any barrels to those made before 1987, the earliest frames they'll fit barrels to. The serial number should be stamped on the left side of the frame, the serial number prefix is used to determine the year of manufacture, there's a list in the FAQs and Help sticky to decode it.
