The Topper model 88 had a screw on forearm and the barrels fit the current NEF/H&R frames, sometimes with a bit of fitting but they are the same as the new NEF barrels. The model 158 and perhaps others (058, 58, ?) that had the snap on forearms....<><.... :grin:

I believe Numrich has both forearms. They have the screw on schnabel listed for the 158 here for $13.40. Or, the same forearm and price for the 88 listed here.

Forearms for shotguns need very little work to make them float when you use them with a rifle barrel.
