Another Barrel Swap Question

[skkzh]

I have searched and read the FAQ and am quite confused.  I have an HR Topper Model 98 - 20ga.  My dad gave me this gun when I was about 9 or 10 years old.  The serial number on the receiver is AS264554.  According to the FAQ, it was manufactured in 1978.  About a year later, he got a 30-30 barrel to go swap out.  It was sold to him by the same gun store that sold him the original 20ga., and told him it was part of a (or the) kit.  The barrel has Topper Model 158 30-30 Win. stamped on it. 

I shot the shotgun barrel many, many times growing up.  I put the 30-30 barrel on the gun and shot it about 1/2 doz. times.  The rifle barrel hasn't been fired in 30 years. 

My question is simply, is this a safe, acceptable configuration or were we mislead those many years ago?

Thanks!

You should be just fine, If your  hand loader, dont push the envelope and enjoy your rifle shotgun combo!

I'm not a handloader, just use factory loads...  So the 30-30 Win barrel is fine on my receiver?  No firing pin issues, etc... like the later model SB1 / SB2 I read about on here.

Thanks!
