Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced in 1959 on Smith & Wesson's world-renowned medium K-frame, the Model 48 K-22 Masterpiece Magnum Rimfire stands as one of the finest double-action rimfire target handguns ever crafted. Engineered specifically to harness the high velocity and flat trajectory of the then-new .22 WMR cartridge, the Model 48 paired benchrest accuracy w/ unmatched hand-fitted craftsmanship. Featuring the desirable pinned barrel construction of pre-lock S&W manufacturing, a full 8-3/8" target barrel length, and wide target hammer and trigger components, the Model 48-4 represents a high watermark in vintage American revolver production.
This specific example is an authentic 1978 Springfield, Massachusetts-manufactured Smith & Wesson Model 48-4 bearing serial number 25K0646. Chambered in powerful .22 WMR (.22 Magnum), it features the desirable 8-3/8 inch pinned target barrel, deep factory gloss blued finish, vivid color case-hardened target hammer and target trigger, micrometer adjustable rear sight, and oversized checkered walnut target stocks w/ gold S&W medallions. Preserved in fantastic, investment-grade condition w/ deep mirror-like bluing showing minimal signs of handling, a spotless bore w/ razor-sharp rifling, and glass-smooth DA/SA mechanics w/ bank-vault cylinder lockup. A turn-key, highly collectible classic S&W K-frame target revolver ready for serious rimfire marksmanship or pride of place in any elite Smith & Wesson collection.
