1945 H&R Topper M48 12 Gauge - Looking for documentation.
« on: March 14, 2012, 02:25:59 PM »
Hello Everyone!

I recently inherited a 1945 H&R Topper M48 12 Gauge shotgun.   It is reasonably good shape.   The action seems to be tight and in good condition.   I am trying to locate whatever documentation is available for this shotgun ...... owner's manual, parts diagram, etc., before I strip it down for cleaning and possible replacement of worn parts.    And if anyone can tell me of a source for replacement parts, it will be greatly appreciated!

Any direction or help will be appreciated.  Thank you!

I'm not sure if this will help or not, but here's what's on the H&R site.
