I own several H&R topper shotguns in a few different gauges. None of mine interchange - but I really have no idea about a model 158. Didn't realize they had 3 digit model numbers. If a shotgun's barrel needs to be extended, I'm not sure how a gun smith would solve that cheaper than purchasing a longer barrel - even for the very hard to find H&R shotguns. They would need to machine the ID and OD to make a barrel extension that exactly fits the existing barrel, weld the two together, then machine the weld to clean up the joint, and finally blue the joint so you won't see it. So labor intensive and expensive it's not worth doing unless you have your own shop and can do it yourself. And, if anyone owns an actual shotgun with a barrel that's not long enough, they wouldn't like you posting about their shotgun on the internet for everyone to see. I recommend you delete the post to protect your acquaintance.
