S and W model 48 scope base

[varmintshooter]

I have a Smith and Wesson m48 22 mag that I would like to put a scope on. It had an old 1.3 power Bushnell on it but I need to find some bases so I can mount a better scope. I am not having any luck finding them so thought I would ask here, where should I look? This gun is from the late 50's or the 60's and the only holes are from the iron sights. It may need to be drilled and taped.

You have a K frame so one of these will work.

There may not be anything out there still in production for you revolver.
Once most all S&W revolvers manufactured in the K, L, N & X frame were shipped drilled and tapped the few mounts made to work with the old factory sight holes seem to have dried up.
I used to have a B-Square mount that would be exactly what you needed but no clue what happened to it. I would generally advise against drill and tap for any of those old classic S&W revolvers due to the potential collector's value.

Thanks guys, I have checked a couple places and no luck so far. I don't even know the value of it or how much drilling and taping hurt. Sad thing is this gun is like new.
