H&R Inc did with the Model 258 Handy Gun II combo and the Model 158 Topper combo, both on cast iron frames, H&R Inc never made any steel frames, SB1 cast iron and SB2 steel frames didn't happen until 1987 when NEF started making them, H&R Inc went out of business in 1986, see the H&R timeline in the FAQs or in the H&R Misc forum. NEF and H&R1871 have made lots of rifle/shotgun combos, but I don't recollect any with 30-30, but they may have. The only cast iron SB1 combos that I know of are/were the 357ga/20ga and 44mag/12ga combos they offered in 2008.

Tim is right about the models. H&R Inc. also had the model 58 combo in 22 hornet/20ga   30-30/20 ga.
I have a few of the old H&R Inc. models and H&R had no consistency in labeling. Some of my models say
Model 158 on the receiver, some say topper model 158 on the barrel and Harrington and Richardson
on the receiver. Many possibilities.

I foolishly passed on one of these combos a few years ago, it was on the rack for $250.
