Best Answer

If it was a firearm originally manufactured without a serial number (serial numbers weren't required on firearms in the US until the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968), then no. However, a firearm which originally had a serial number and had it removed - very much illegal.

Where is the serial number located on a harrington and richardson topper model 158?

IF it HAS a serial number, it will be stamped on the receiver (frame) usually on the left side (as you are holding the shotgun). However, serial numbers were not required by law on shotguns and rifles until the 1968 Gun Control Act. Prior to that most low cost firearms were not sequentially numbered, due to the cost to the maker. It is not illegal to own a firearm without a serial number, but it IS illegal to remove a serial number, or possess a gun whose serial number has been removed.
