Ooops - like thisOriginally Posted by gingernut
Has anyone experienced any wear on the inserts of the cartridges on the pellet version? Just wondering whether the inserts wear/loosen after loading/firing many pellets on these rear loading cartridges (pellets can have a variation in diameters and are not quite so smooth as bbs).

Yep, 'oops' indeed !!!... That'll not happen to me, however, as ever since I became the proud owner of a Colt Peacemaker courtesy of your good self, I have followed your advise to the letter, never used the built-in tooling, and always use a traditional L shaped Allen Key to pinch up the Co2 bulb (not too much torque needed, and you soon get the feel). I have transposed the same valuable piece of operational information to the use of my Schofield, too, so thank you.

The person in the video was obviously over-tightening the Capsule. I think he was deliberately trying to break it.
I use the one on the Colt and I have had no trouble with it. Mind you the colt one does look more substantial than the Scolfield one.

Or he was just cack handed, but you could see it was going to break

You are correct, the hex tool on the Peacemaker is set into a large piece of metal, unlike on the Schofield where the small hex key set into a small (feeble) plastic web.

I get by with a little help from my friends
WTF was he trying to do to that Co2? Certainly someone to avoid buying a used gun from. It takes 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn at most to seat the Co2 properly.
