AP prefix = 1976 manufacture of your topper. I have a H&R Topper Model 58 with the serial code AN260735. Can anyone tell me when it was made? I cant find the year for the prefix AN anywhere. H&R used the letter codes AN in 1975. I have a AR in my serial number. Would you have any idea when it was made? Thank you!

What to do with a Harrington and Richardson topper?
I first removed the dented and dinged finish from the forend and the stock. I refinished it with gun stock stain and several coats of a wipe on polyurethane. Then I turned my attention to the barrel. I used steel wool to remove the damaged bluing and the rust that had accumulated on the barrel.
