Well, I thought it was unfired, sure looks like it, but on the kitchen table this morning, took it apart to remove certain lawyer accursed parts, and they're already gone! No wonder it felt so good. Maybe (?) it's unfired, surely no more than a cylinder or two.
So out to the range. Smokeless loads grouped nice, right where I pointed at 7 yards. Then I started feeding BP rounds into it. 25 grains 3f OE under a BL PRS bullet in the S&W case. 50 rounds later I had to stop because the box was empty and I'm low on primers for reloads. But this thing eats Black Powder like no other Schofield I've ever handled. Felt like 50 rounds of smokeless. Cylinder still spins free. Whoopee!
My 5" Schofield will tolerate 777, brought some of those along to try, but this one shoots the real stuff no problem. This one's coming to the Grand Muster.
