Nickel Schofields are available in the States and in time they will probably become available here also,I'd imagine.A rifled barrel version may well appear at some point,too.
I'm sure this first iteration in two finishes of the Schofield is but the first wave, and the Sheridan Cowboy I bet we see in at least one other finish in the future.

My steel finish bb shooter will shoot pellets but in another one I tried the pellet shells stopped the cylinder rotating.
Shells must be a bit different?

I think that's the only difference between them. The shells. I can't see them going to the expense of making different guns. The increase in velocity and therefore accuracy comes from the pellet shells effectively increasing the barrel length

Indeed, so maybe the pellet shooter's roundel cartridge receivers are different to the BB shooting version, too? That would further explain why one model is designated as a pellet firer, and the other a BB, with the anomaly that the pellet cartridges will work in the BB guns but not visa-versa?Originally Posted by gingernut
Also, Arthur, have you actually seen these Schofields in the flesh, yet, as the livery with the faux ivory handles isn't a false patina as with the antique finish Colt (which I also like btw), but rather an even nickel finish, but with a dark and even hew to it which oozes quality and looks superb, which was why I bought one.

Just tried a club mate's antique finish Schofield and it balances very well. Not too much obtrusive white markings either. My first shot dropped a 20 yard skittle, as did my third. I also managed to ring a 40 mm bell at 10 yards twice out of 3 shots, so I'm well impressed! Very nice crisp trigger release too.
