Comments CAW have a reputation with me .... and that reputation is WOW !
..... they didnt dissapoint me with the MP18 ..... and they've not dissapointed me with the Schofeild.
the quality of this modelgun is .... like the MP18... Astounding !
an inceredibly stylish revolver.....a comfortable grip and reassuring weight ....and a fantastic action
It also comes with 12 rounds that can be used..or for display as they actually have the "lead ball" part .this screws off and allows the cart to be loaded for firing but more on this in a moment
Loading Loading the Schofiled is pretty standard to all revolvers except the way the cylinder is loaded. In the way same as the Enfield MK2 the cylinder is accessed by releasing the catch in front of the hammer to operate the ‘swing open’ barrel & cylinder so it appears as though your gun is snapped in 2
now on to those fabulous carts
to all intents and purposes these look like live rounds
..... and the size of these things .... jeeze .at close range this would take you head clean of your shoulders !
.
The "lead ball" however unscrews from the cart allowing you to insert a 7mm cap face up. you then load up six of these into the cylinder..... snap it closed and your done.
Firing Pull back the hammer .. do it slowly
........ savour that slow click of the cylinder turning as you cock the hammer .... now pull the trigger
Be warned this isnt a bang ..... this is a BOOM !
..this thing is rediculously loud ...... i mean WOW !
.... i thought the wall was going to cave in when i pulled the trigger ....... WOW ! .......thats all i can say !
Cleaning Ok now cleaning ..... we're back to the 2 methods …. The quick way and the thorough way !
The Quick way.
Release the catch to "snap" the barrel …. remove the catch above the cylinder by removing the 2 screws .....Take the cylinder out …. And clean it ! …Simple
!
The thorough way.
This involves you doing the above step anyway !
.then remove the screw attaching the barrel to the handle.
a single screw lets you remove the grip .... and 2 screws allow you to remove the plate which houses the hammer & trigger mechanism.
the hammer / trigger although fiddly (as all stiping down of the mechanisms are) isnt that complex as the schofield is a simple weapon
But... remeber .... as you remove the hammer & trigger its important (if not refering to instructions) to make note of how the parts of the hammer & trigger fit together !
Next, clean and oil the gun using whatever cleaning solution / oil you prefer. (personally i would recommend marks cleaning technique of hot water, baking soda & vinegar)
Then once we are cleaned and oiled .... put it all back together
Over all what can i say!
a fantasic looking.....top quality ..... brilliant revolver
..if you havnt got one ....... and you like revolvers...then get one ! ..... you've got to
...... CAW are in my opinion right at the top of the tree when it comes to superbly maufactured modelguns .... and this my freinds is suberb
......... top marks here 10/10
