Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Designed during the early Cold War era to provide economical marksmanship instruction for Polish military recruits and youth defense organizations, the wz. 48 (wzór 1948) is a purpose-built .22 LR training rifle engineered around the sight picture, weight, and general ergonomics of the Mosin-Nagant carbine. Manufactured at the world-renowned Radom Arsenal (Zaklady Metalowe Lucznik) in Radom, Poland—identified by the iconic oval "Circle 11" factory stamp—the wz. 48 showcases commercial-grade machining precision, deep mirror-like bluing, and rich solid hardwood stock construction that far surpasses standard military surplus standards. Built with a heavy 24.5-inch target barrel, a single-shot loading tray chambered in .22 LR, a smooth cock-on-opening bolt mechanism, and tangent iron sights graduated specifically for rimfire distances (25-100m), the Polish "Circle 11" wz. 48 stands as one of the finest military training rifles ever produced.
This specific example is an extraordinary, museum-grade Polish Radom wz. 48 Mosin-Nagant training rifle manufactured in 1954, bearing serial number AB01739. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it features a 24.5-inch heavy barrel, hooded front post sight, rimfire-calibrated tangent rear sight, solid blonde beechwood stock, and a smooth single-shot bolt mechanism. Exhibiting coveted ALL-MATCHING NUMBERS status, the serial "AB01739" (or matching partials "1739") is stamped identically across the receiver ring, bolt body, trigger guard frame, and steel buttplate. Presenting immaculate overall preservation, the deep Polish factory blued finish retains rich coverage across all forged steel assemblies w/ razor-sharp "Circle 11", "1954" date, and Polish "PW" inspection proofs. Mechanically, the single-shot bolt action operates with crisp precision, lockup is tight, and the 24.5-inch heavy barrel bore remains mirror-bright w/ sharp, pristine rifling throughout. This 100% matching 1954 Radom wz. 48 represents an unrepeatable center-piece acquisition for European military surplus collectors and rimfire trainers alike.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
