Went to see the gunsmith today.  I wanted find a stock and forearm for an old 12ga 158 Topper I recently acquired.  The wood on this gun had been refinished by some jackleg that didn't even take off the stock before sanding and to much wood was removed from the forearm.  The smith didn't have these parts in stock so they are on order.  The stock should be here tommorrow or Wed  the forearm maybe January.  But he did have a replacement trigger guard assembly $7,  12 including installation.  He had a catalog which had a diagram of all the parts and part #.  Does anybody have any idea of the name of such a catalog.  I wish I had asked.

Numrich has schematics, but if it has a transfer bar it's pretty much the same as a Pardner which is in the owner's manual which can be downloaded on the H&R  website.

Does this forearm snap on or use a phillips head screw like the new models?  I've got a couple screw types, give you one if you can use it.  Ones off a twenty guage has that cute little contour at the front, the other off a 12 guage, has been painted O.D. green, easily removed.

The forearm is the snap on type but, thanks anyway.

I picked up the stock the other day and realized too late that he sold me the current production stock.  It may work but I am going for an original look.  This stock has a stud for a sling and my gun has a snap on fore arm so it doesn't look right.  I may end up selling.  It has a nice look to it.
