Smith &Wesson ~ Model 53 ~ .22 Remington Jet

Smith & Wesson Model 53 chambered in .22 Remington Jet. This is one of the most unique revolvers ever produced by Smith & Wesson, designed specifically around the high-velocity .22 Remington Jet cartridge. Built on the classic K-frame and introduced during the early 1960s magnum era, the Model 53 combined revolver reliability with centerfire varmint-cartridge performance. This example features a 6-inch pinned barrel configuration. This revolver is in excellent condition and should be especially attractive for collectors and precision revolver enthusiasts. The bright bore remains excellent, while the serrated service trigger and special selective hammer display vivid original case-hardened colors. The diamond checkered walnut target stocks with ejector cutout remain in excellent condition and complement the revolver's classic appearance beautifully. It has a ramp front sight and Smith & Wesson's micro-adjustable rear sight for excellent target capability. The .22 Remington Jet is a centerfire revolver and rifle cartridge. The cartridge is developed by necking down a .357 Magnum case to accommodate a .22 caliber bullet. Though developed for the Smith & Wesson Model 53 revolver, it makes a flat shooting round for varmint and medium game in a rifle. No box.
