Are Perazzi shotgun stocks interchangeable?

Perazzi shotgun stock forearms are not interchangeable. Currently Perazzi is in its fourth version of forearm design. These new style latches have two Allen screws in the rear of the forearm iron. Old style latches do not. There are three versions of old style forearms. The width of the wood between the metal of the forearm latch and the rear of the forearm iron differs with each of the three old styles, as does the length of the metal latch itself and its width.

Whats the difference between a full choke and a modified choke on a shotgun?

In both the U.S. and British scale of chokes, Full choke is the tightest choke for game guns (there are some "extra tight" chokes but these are generally for other thsan game guns). The English 3/4 (three quarter) choke is equivalent to the U.S. "Improved Modified" The English 1/2 (quarter ) choke is equivant to the U.S. "modified" In other words the Mod choke is one half the tightness of a full choke and a the Improved Modified is three quarters the tightness of a full choke.

How do you change choke tubes in a shotgun?

All choke tubes are essentialy the same no matter the manufacturer. They are all screwed in at the muzzle. Each Firearm Manufacturer produced a tool, such as a T-Wrench or a hand held clutch of some sort to fit the slots to turn the choke (like a big screwdriver). Some choke tubes are exposed on the end and can be turned by hand. If your's is recessed, it is better to find the tool to change choke rather than damage the choke by using another metal object to change it.

What is the value of a Harrington and Richardson topper model 158 12 GA?

It varies with condition, which is probably most important factor. But you'll find nice examples for around $75 - $125 at gun shows. I recently paid $80 for mine - it has the original recoil pad, nice wood finish, and no rust. These shotguns seem to be (like most H & R guns) bought to be used and not really prized by collectors. If you're going to use it, do so without regard to it's long term value. If you're thinking it's going to be worth lots of money someday- don't count on it. As long as you take care of it you'll never lose any money on any H & R 12 gauge.
