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.

if your 1911 frame does not show a serial number then someone removed it and in so doing made the frame illegal. ATF regs require firearms to have serial number and if that serial # was removed the frame is the considered illegal to posses. however, the parts are NOT illegal and may be used to build another 1911 using another frame.

Where is the serial number located on a Stevens twenty gauge?
It MAY not have one. Serial numbers are placed on the receiver (frame) of all firearms- legally the receiver IS the firearm- everything else is simply "parts". However, prior to the 1968 Gun Control Act, no law required serial numbers on rifles and shotguns- and most low- middle cost guns HAD no serial number. While it is highly illegal to REMOVE a serial number, if a gun never had one, it is perfectly legal.

First, I think you mean register. In MOST of the US, there is no requirement to register ordinary firearms. Now, about the serial number- it is unlawful to REMOVE a serial number, or to possess a gun that has had the SN removed. However, there are guns that do not HAVE a serial number, and they are legal. Rifles and shotguns made prior to 1968 were not required to have serial number. Those guns are listed as NSN- No Serial Number- on paperwork that asks for a serial number.
