A Couple More BP Revolvers

[krinko]

First, the Nice Schofield---



Uberti via Cimarron via a CAS guy who decided to go All Vaquero. He's also the guy who sold off the "Patron" SAA clone, so thanks to him I have couple of nice pistols.
The Schofield is being fed low-vel Unique loads under a 200 grain lead slug and it's doing very well on that diet. It'd be a hard choice between this one and the Patron, believe me.

Next, Looks Good From a Distance---





It's some kind of attempt at a .31 Baby Dragoon---says "Marco" on the left side frame, so ASM?---dated XXV which would be 1969.
Internals are rough. The hand is oversize for the frame, but it's in there anyway. Springs are overpowered, too. Just like a 1st Model Dragoon, it's possible to overdrive the cylinder and wind up 1/4 chamber out of sequence.
I bought it to look at, really, so no worries.

I'm not usually one who'd spend money on an Italian repro of a 19th Century gun with the crappy sights of the era, but those Schofields are just so awesome looking and unique. Not many top breaks out there in rimmed .45 anyway, just the Schofield and the Webley, but the issues with the Webley's and .455 ammo not being the easiest ammo to find and the Webley's not really made to handle a lot of .45 ACP make the Schofield the better .45 top break between the two.
