Question Anyone know what frame size the S&W model 53 .22 Jet Magnum is?

While looking for correct grips for a pre model 19 I found some appropriate design diamond target grips from a 4 screw model 53 .22 Jet magnum. The seller says they are K frame grips but I just read something about them being a "KTC Frame". I've already bought grips that were mislabeled, mismatched or just don't fit properly so since this is starting to cost a fortune I'd like to verify the correct frame designation for the model 53.

Appreciate any info.

i believe it's a k frame, all grips do not fit all guns as well as they should.

According to the "Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson" third edition it is a square butt K frame four screw produced from 1961 to 1974.
Hope that helps.

Hi, I think the model 53 has a standard square butt K frame, so the grips/stocks you are describing should fit fine. Watch this space, though, because I may be contradicted by one of the real .22 Jet experts Hope this is helpful.

All 22 center fire magnums "Remington Jets" are K frames. Jeff

Thumbs up

Thanks for the input everyone. With any luck my "quest" for some nice K frame grips will soon be coming to an end.

I'm having the same problem finding grips for the K-frame I picked up the other day. The only grips I've found so far have been aftermarket. The hideous target grip it came with and a set of Harrett's shooting stars fit fine, but a couple set of magna's haven't fit at all. Haven't come across a set of targets to put on it, although thats the plan...

Thumbs down I GOT SNIPED!

I bid on some beautiful target grips on stinking anti gun Ebay and GOT SNIPED!
I had the highest bid for almost a week and in the last seconds of the auction some slimebag using an automated bid sniping program out bid me...
with NINE SECONDS REMAINING!
Right now I'm spitting nails, and considering filing a complaint with the FTC.

How ebay thinks this is fair is beyond reason. It's like stealing.
I would never allow someone to sneak a bid in at the last few seconds just to out bid someone. They don't even extend bidding for 5 minutes like other online auction sites to allow for a counter bid
But then liberal anti gunners have no sense of morality and what's fair and what's not. I'll be closing my ebag account - their loss.


I hope that rat b*stard coward bidder sleeps soundly knowing he couldn't out bid me fair and square.

I'm plenty "bid savvy," I've won every bid I've placed on internet auctions, with the sole exception being ebay thanks. But no human can compete with an automated program. Including you.
I don't think you understand how Ebay works, or doesn't work, when you're bidding against a machine...

Don't know if you've already tried it, but placing a "Wanted To Buy" ad here on the Forum may get you the stocks you need. If you have a pre-1967 gun you need diamond Targets with the football cutout, and after 1967 the non-diamond type.

I understand fully your frustration with certain nameless auction sites. The bidding process stinks. When the "no selling of parts capable of making a gun fire" policy began, I immediately killed off my 180+ positive feedback account and sent them a message explaining the reason why. I guess they figured they could absorb the gun people leaving and really, really feel better about themselves. So what happens when they decide that grips, sights and other parts make a gun capable of firing?

I have found everything I needed on the gun auction sites since then - not as easily, but my money goes to people I want to support. Food for thought.

Question, this is a very old post so it may never be seen by you, but the model 51 is a 22 mag rimfire J frame, but it doesn't say Remington jet, it says Winchester Magnum Rimfire. Same thing or no?

No. The Jet is a bottleneck cartridge based on the .357 Magnum with a centerfire primer, completely different (except for the bore diameter).

Here'e another fly in the ointment. The first made M53's have walnut target stocks. The later ones have the Goncalo Alves stocks. What is the serial number of your M53? Also, what dash is it? We need this info to give you correct info on your quest for stocks. BTW, most of the walnut stocks have diamond centers and may be hard to find, if that's what you need. Big Larry

EBay rant - I’ve had the same last second outbid happen to me, usually on a knife.
Confucius say -
If you are high bidder for a long time, like several days,
you do not have the winning bid.

eBay has operated this way since it’s inception. Bid the max amount you are willing to pay and forget about it until the auction is over.

Why don't you subscribe to auction sniper ... You can set your bid at 5 seconds before the final time....

Ebay? No crying allowed. From the get-go: You bid the highest amount that you're willing to pay.You win... or you do not.Thinking that you might fly under the radar,is foolish.You can't say,"Only one more bid and it would have been mine"It's not GB.There is no 15 minute rule,though there should be,in order to counter the snipers with their software.

Ebay sets their rules, like 'em or lump 'em.

I myself prefer an auction that ends at a specific time.

The one my Boy Scout Master had in the early 70's had:

6" barrel
Target grips
.22 Cylinder inserts
Hardwood presentation case


I forgot what sights though! But I belief they were like a K-22
(plain Patridge front, black rear).

I have won several auctions on Ebay by putting in a high max bid. This is the machine You talk about. I put in My max bid and if I loose, so be it.
As far as the Model 53 grips fitting Your K frame there shouldn't be a problem. I bought some diamond targets on Ebay and they fit perfect.

I'm sure that now, eight years later, that guy has given up on ebay. Seeing that it's so unfair and all. For what it's worth, almost anything of any interest on ebay gets bids in the last 10 seconds. Adapt or buy elsewhere.
