I like the looks of a nice full length stock. Anyone know someone that can make one for my H&R?

Site sponsor GSI makes them and other replacement stocks for H&Rs.

Man, this peeves me off. I like have a one year stock run rifle, no every mothers son can have one

I had a factory H&R 157 in 30/30 with factory full length manlicker stock. I sold it for .........$75 :cry:

Rustyinfla · « **Reply #5 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:39:59 PM »

Well not really D.W.G. you have a factory original and we'll just have a made up gun that's trying to look as good as yours.

quickdtoo · « **Reply #6 on:** February 18, 2010, 12:55:57 PM »

Well, when you compare H&R mannlicher forends, the best looking of all is the original Model 157 with the metal forend cap.

Tim I like the looks of that it would look realy good in polished brass also

quickdtoo · « **Reply #10 on:** February 18, 2010, 04:43:08 PM »

I wish, but not mine, just pics I've gleaned here and there.

Tim,
I'm worried about you. Collecting pictures of other people's Handi's?

How about a Manlicher with a buffalo horn tip instead of the metal forend piece.

No need to worry, its a healthy addiction!!

Just to give you a little tease Spikehorn. It may look like my Model 157 22 Hornet just need to put the brass trigger gaurd and the gold trigger on it.Kurt

ps that's painted plastic

spikehorn · « **Reply #14 on:** February 19, 2010, 05:09:18 PM »

Kurt painted plastic or not that looks sweet! That will look great with a gold trigger and a brass trigger guard. Now you got me thinkin of even more ways to spruce up new manlicher 45-70

a4beltfed2000 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 20, 2010, 02:36:11 AM »

I had a 158 .22 hornet just like that; that someone had rebored to .222 remington. At the time I didn't know about reloading and sold the rifle because the chamber was to tight and factory ammo would cause the gun to pop open when you fired it. I sold it off cause it scared me a couple of times. If I knew then what I know now it would still be in the safe

cwlongshot · « **Reply #16 on:** February 20, 2010, 02:51:28 AM »

Why not try to yourself??

I have made a couple and its not awful hard and very satisfying to have it on your own gun..

Wow Ive not seen another one

My wood looks a lot lighter

My nose cap is just the wood painted black

and the front sight is way different

spikehorn · « **Reply #18 on:** February 20, 2010, 08:20:00 AM »

Dances I like the look of yours with the straight grip stock! Mine has the the pistol grip low comb butt stock.

That's because yours appears to be a Handi made by H&R1871, the Topper 157 was made by H&R Inc that went out of business in 1986.

Yes it was offered one year only in 1995, there are rumors than the remaining forearms were fit to non matching stocks in 1996.

So this was H&Rs effort to make what the old company had made in the past.

Only cheaper

quickdtoo · « **Reply #21 on:** February 20, 2010, 09:29:49 AM »

H&R found a whole sack full of the mannlicher forends(left over from 1995?) and sold them as accessories in 2005, they were $35 shipped with the plastic barrel band, a bunch of members here bought them, myself included, they didn't have the tip painted tho, but that would be an easy fix.

I have kind of had my eye out for one of those 1995/2005 jobby's looking to possibly modify for a ramrod for a cut off/shortened .58 Huntsman.

Here's mine. Topper 158 with straight grip stock, gold (colored) hammer, barrel band (from a Henry 001 lever .22) and mannlicher forend (via somebody who was selling 'em on eBay a couple of years back). Love that rifle!

Note to self: gotta match the stain on the forend with the buttstock soon.
