Pee Wee #15785 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Have a Scholfield 5 1/2” that under 40 rounds is starting to get a turn ring. Bolt is moving to the cylinder within about 1/4” turn of the cylinder. It is to nice to let that happen without trying to Stop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 That's normal for Schofields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunger Dan Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 My Uberti has got the turn ring also...very thin and precise. Probably 1000 rounds into it. Not real noticeable like the sloppy wide ring that would occur on a colt style from dropping hammer from half cock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pee Wee #15785 Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 I know Bozeman Trail Arms, Tom Sargis will work on it but his backlog is 6-7 months. A will timed bolt will not leave a turn line!!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Have you seen orginal Schofield's? I've seen many, all with the ring. That early bolt drop acts as a brake to help slow down the cyl. That keeps the cyl ratchets in play longer. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
