I have an old Topper barrel and it takes a different screw than the survivor thumb screw. The thread pitch is different. I'm sure you could use the forearm itself but the screw might be a different story. I think the stock should bolt right on.

I had an M158 30-30(1972 AJ), tried a modern stock on it, it didn't fit right, the angle of the stock was slightly different and left a slight gap.

Tim,

Is the screw for the forearm different? The one on my Topper barrel has a different pitch.

The survivor buttstock SHOULD fit but the only way to be sure is to try one, 90%+ chance it will fit. When you buy a Survivor stock set from Choate it comes with 2 special "Storarm forearm" screws, to fit both the old and the new thread pitch. If you call Choate you can get whichever screw you need.....<><....:)

Looks like Andy answered that for ya, that's good cuz I didn't know the answer on the forend, mine had a ¼-20 attachment screw, some older barrels use a ¼-28 fine thread.  I didn't like the Survivor stock and got rid of mine after I tried it on my Hornet, I traded it for a good stock!!  ;D
