Nickle Posted December 19, 2024 Posted December 19, 2024 Do any of the reproduction parts fit the originals? I'm looking for a hand or pawl I guess some call it. Quote
Cholla Posted December 19, 2024 Posted December 19, 2024 @Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L From what I understand, the S&W 2000 Schofeilds are updated internally and will not work. I have read some reproductions more closely follow the original design. But I defer to Injun Ryder on this topic. 1 Quote
Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted December 19, 2024 Posted December 19, 2024 I do not know anything about the Italian Schofields but the following picture indicates which parts were manufactured by Nelson Tool and Machine (NTM) for the S&W PC2000 Schofields. Without having an original to compare the parts, I would surmise that NTM probably manufactured these parts based upon the original Schofield. However, I strongly doubt that S&W would have any parts available. You might check with antique gun parts suppliers as many parts are common across S&W model 3's of the era. 2 Quote
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 I have been told by one gunsmith that some internal parts of an Uberti can be made to fit in an original. It might take a lot of work, but it can be done. By the same token, he also told me that many internal part of the original Model 3's are identical to same sized Merwin & Hulbert's and a couple of other makers who essentially copied the action of Smith from behind the cylinder. In fact, he used S&W parts to fix my M&H. Or maybe it was the other way around... I don't remember for sure. Quote
