Topper ??
« on: February 08, 2014, 02:43:40 AM »
I know it has been addressed before but due to loss of posts thought I'd just ask again.  I am looking at a Topper 158 in a 30-30 and 20 ga combo.  Will a 357 barrel fit on this frame.  I am not going to ream to 357 max. so not interested in any replies to that fact.
This is the day the Lord has made.  I choose to rejoice and be glad in it.

I saw that exact combo (30-30 / 20 ga) on a table at the Joplin (MO) gunshow yesterday for $220.  I was short on cash or I would have picked it up. It was a little rough, but not bad.

One of the original H&R combos was 20ga/357 Mag.  It was the Handy Gun II, my best friend has this combo that he bought new.

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
