I'm a newbie to the H&R Topper (Handi rifle) world and I have a question. I bought a rifle that has HARRINGTON & RICHARDSON, INC. GARDNER, MASS. MADE IN USA on the receiver. The serial number is AY485***. The barrel has TOPPER MODEL 158 -30-30-WIN stamped on it. I fired it for the first time today and accuracy was quite good at 50 yards. I planned to take it to the range Friday and try it at longer ranges. Tonight, after finding this site, I've read where rifle barrels shouldn't be on SB1 receiverss!!! Or, that's the way I interpreted things.
My question is, what is the difference in SB1 receivers and SB2 receivers? Which do I have? Is my rifle at risk of the firing pin ejecting through the firing pin hole?
Well, that's three questions actually. But, they are related. Thanks in advance for any input.
Happy trails,
Larry
