Self imposted collectors addition complete!
« on: February 09, 2009, 12:49:45 PM »
Back in the early 70's my dad gave me my first H&R. it was a topper 158 with the profiled receiver. Since then I have been bit. I have always looked for the entire set (.410, 20, 30-30, and 22 jet). I have always thought that a 22 Hornet also existed but to no avail. I am now convinced that one does not exist. (I could be wrong). Anyway, below is my collection of topper 158's with the profiled receivers. Note the 22 jet is wearing the glasses and ready for the prairie dog hunt. The Jet also has a Nickle receiver which is the only one like it I have ever seen (profiled). I am proud of these guys and just wanted to share. The .410 has been with me through it all.

It is not a profiled receiver. ( I already checked 8))

I have 13 more handies and would be willing to trade any one of them for a factory profiled hornet.
