Schofields

[mrto]

Thanks for the quick review,Patrick.Do you have a favourite yet of the two Schofields as I am poised and ready to buy one,though I know inevitably I will get both!

ATB.

I don’t think I have a favourite MrT hence the double purchase.

I doubt the bb model will be as accurate as the pellet one but it a great looking gun.

I don’t know if you can shoot pellets through the bb one.
Barrels look the same but you can’t really see.

Bb shells load at front pellet at rear hence pellet supposed to be bit more powerful.

Hope to get to the range as it warms up a bit.

Incidentally I never did get spare Peacemaker grips.
Just swap them around now and again.

Thanks Patrick,maybe I'll get the pellet version first for a change this time although I prefer the nickel and white grip look as I'm sure you well know.

I didn't find my 'friendly' local gun store helpful in the slightest when it came to ordering spare anything from Umarex,so I
will grip swap from time to time as the mood takes me.


Regards,
Mark.

I wanted to put the nice black Ranger grips on a nickel one Mark but only the co2 side comes off.
Their is no screw on the other side because of the badge.
I think there are two little internal screws that I need to look at.

They will look great.

As you know the ivory grips on the gloss black are nice too.
Little things.....

But Umarex are missing a trick here I think.
Must be a profit in grips.

A cased pair of nickel SAA's,one with white grips and one with black grips would look nice.I agree Umarex would do well to make a selection of colours available in after market grips.

I suspect,though they like to control the colour configuration as a way to sell the same gun many times over.

Thankfully, there is now robust competition to Umarex in Western revolvers, let's hope another company makes an SAA available,but with removable cylinder as Umarex should have done....

as "bj" and "patrick" say these are great pistols.having handled the real thing [deac] they
compare favourably..but the bonus is they shoots as well as they look.
the pellet version is the most desirable in my opinion, also the pellets are inserted at
the rear of the cartridge which makes loading less of a faffle.
interesting little feature the inside of the grip has a tool to screw the cartridge into position.
the pellet version i have is smooth bore! but at 10yds i hit most trgts in my garden plus ring the bell on occasion
on the bell trgt at 6.


PS "BJ" hope you make a fast recovery from that nasty off on that super triumph of yours!
bit of a shock to come across the shattered remains on the side of the road..i picked up your top boxs etc and will return
to your door.. another "oh i didn't see you there" while changing lane at the last moment!

Try to avoid using the grip tool Bob as they can snap off!
Metal into plastic is not a great idea.

Mark you may know that the Crosman Cowboy has a removable cylinder which is easy to do and makes a jammed pellet not the problem it might be in other models.
It’s also fun to to do it for no reason.

I like the Crosman but I would advise use of Crosman or Umarex co2 capsules as others can fail to pierce properly or at all.
I also think it is better suited to bbs rather than pellets although you get both shells with it.

Good to see yours has arrived Gareth.
Bet you get a pellet one too!
