You probably found out by now, but the reason it’s an 8” instead of an 7” is because you got the American model instead of the Schofield. I can tell by looking at the latching mechanism. I have been looking for a Uberti Schofield for the last two years. Your revolver is beautiful!
Yeah, and I felt kinda dumb afterwards. I do have the correct Schofield now! I hope to do a video on it soon, just waiting on some better weather. Thanks for watching!
Growing up, I've had several BB guns, most of them were the spring type. I have a couple break barrel pellet guns too, but this is my first Co2 powered one. I think I'll be picking up a couple more in the future, they sure are a lot of fun. Thanks for watching!
That is a pretty neat replica air gun. The price of an actual Schofield is a deterrent especially if you need two. I've always wanted one in the .44 Russian, just 'cause it would be different. Looking forward to the Flames of Hell rig. It's always equally entertaining and educational to watch your leather work.
Thanks! I greatly appreciate that. I hate those characters that carry two identical firearms, especially when they're cool ones! Thank you for watching!
Yeah, only after posting the video, did I realize there where very specific details that differentiate the Model 3 from the Schofield. Sorry about that! Thank you for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview yeah its pissing me off i really wanted one forever to go with my 1953 922 revolver but the darn things are like 400 bucks now
Good video. Interesting review of a BB gun. The Schofield is on my bucket list of guns. The cost and lack of inventory have made it difficult to get, but one day......... Looking forward to the holster video.
I've actually had this one pre- "pandemic". I ve been waiting so long that I went ahead and got the BB gun instead. It's pretty cool with the CO2 cylinder because you just cock the hammer and shoot, no levers or heavy springs to fight.
Hi Richard, I've enjoyed the video and can't wait for the episode on making the Flames of Hell Holsters (I do have the same pattern pack, but I didn't made them yet). I really like the jacket also!
I thought I'd read the the Schofield's original latch could be opened accidentally if the thumb was in the wrong place while cocking the hammer, so S&W redesigned the latch. Is it possible the BB version has the older latch while the 45 Colt has the redesign?
The BB version is the "Schofield" version, the other one is just a S&W Model 3. Major George W. Schofield, had the Model 3 modified to meet what he thought his soldiers needed. I had heard the same thing about it being accidentally opened by cocking the hammer to fire the revolver.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Exactly, you’re absolutely right. The Cimaron is, as a matter of fact, not a Schofield, but a S&W model 3 replica. The key feature of the Schofield being the latch like on the BB. For your info I practice CAS with two Schofields and I’ve never had a problem accidentally opening it with my thumb while cocking it. When you shoot it, you’ll figure out. Great vids. I just discovered your channel and subscribed. Keep going. 👍👍
@@oasis6444 I now own a Schofield as well as the model 3. I hope to do another video on the Schofields in the near future. Thanks for the compliment, subscribing and watching!
On the co2 gun when you receive it the box says 6inch barrel but it is actually 7inch, it does throw out the shells if you break it open fast enough, there's a button on the bottom of the frame that you can press to retract the extractor
I have several Peacemaker and Schofields, in bb and pellet. Even with the smooth bore barrel they are accurate with both bb and pellets. With the price of 22 ammo , these airguns make great understudy plinkers. The chrome version with poly ivory grips is very nice. Barra is supposed to come out with a rifled barrel version at some point. For the price you can’t beat them .
I have 3 Schofield M3s Two are pellet firers with rifled barrels, one is in steel gray ( actually looks like deep smoked glass somehow, beautiful finish thats in BB My pellet versions are in Nickel Silver and aged black. They are from ASG not Barra but look very similar, all 3 guns are great fun to fire and pretty powerful for cco2 I'm English living in the North East of England, our gun laws are very strict were not allowed to own pistols that fire cartridges, tho you can apply for cap and ball guns but you need to be part of registered gun club, theres not many round here but I'm currently looking into it as l would love an 1861 army Colt. I love all revolvers of the older classic type and theres a selection from Umarex, ASG and Barra. I have 4 Colt peacemakers from Umarex silver, black, and Blued the blue is BB. As said 3 Schofields, am currently waiting on a 4th in silver so l have a matching pair. Also from ASG a REMINGTON 1875 or Cowboy version as its sometimes called ( comes in a horrible blister pack but great gun all the same will be acquiring another )also a Gletcher Nagant in pellet, A Henry 1894 lever action rifle. My other guns are Luger, 1911 REMINGTON, Walther PPKs x2 and a Walther P38, A Broom Handled Mauser with wooden holster/ butt attachment. A WEBLEY VI IN 22 PELLET, a Dan Wesson revolver A Winchester revolver ( I'd never heard of it either). All the guns are pellet or BB, the nearest well get in UK to owning the real things butthey are very good looking copies. I envy your choice of real guns, l have fired real weapons, l was in the army cadets at 13 yrs of age we used Lee Enfield 303s and Bren Machine Gun top magazine loaded in 303. Then l joined the Army Infantry and we used the now defunct SLR in 7.62 round as our daily weapon and the GPMG belt loaded in 7.62, also fired 9mm semi auto pistol, and the Sten Sub Machine gun in 9mm too. I was a very good shot and loved firing them l would have spent all day on the ranges if l could have lol. Have a great time with your guns lads
Yeah, that's another one of those mistakes I made. I now have a Schofield in addition to the Model 3. I hope to do another video in the future correcting my mistake. Thanks for watching!
You are correct. I believe it was changed to keep people from accidentally unlatching it while they were cocking the hammer. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching too!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Some of the early Smith & Wessons had latches like the Cimarron, later Number 3 models had the latch like the Barra. The No. 3 was easier to open with one hand for mounted cavalry. I got the pellet cartridges but they don't seem to be any more accurate. Too bad they don't make a rifled version. Still, the BB version is fun to shoot out to 45-50 feet.
I hate to do it sir, but this is yout ube and your subject matter deserves more discretion. Thats not a Schofield thats the new model American your reviewing. Try to be more researched history deserves it.
You could have loaded the bbs far quicker by dabbing the shells in to the bbs, or you get shells that take the bbs in the back you just leave the shells in and place them in, very quick. There's a button on the bottom of the frame that stops the ejector throwing the shells or lifting them up.
Unfortunately when I opened my container of bbs that I've probably had for about 20 years, there were bits of rust on them. I just picked out a few that seemed the cleanest and took them out to the range. That is a good idea you offered though.
Wow...BB Gun tech has really gottten amazing since I was a kid. I love it. Your coat and scarf are terrific, too. Great job, Richard!
Thanks Santee! I need to do the hat next!
Thanks Jeff!

Amateur
Thanks for the review of the Barra. And you are gonna love shooting the Number3!
Thanks for watching! I've got a few different "Cowboy" guns I haven't shot yet but I enjoy the ones I have so far.
A whole new world ot there with all the Co². Fun to play with and most actually work.

That certainly was a good movie; Charlie was crazy as a loon. Thanks for the video Richard!
Yes it was! I have watched it a few times and still enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
With the Barra you are better using the optional rear loading pellet shells which will give better accuracy and fps.
I plan on ordering a set of them, I like pellets better than BBs. Thanks for watching!
You can put the bbs in the top, quicker to load and surprisingly accurate

Love the comparison! Great review!
Thank you very much! Lots of fun and very affordable!
Been trying to find an original schofield. I’ll let you know how that goes
Original originals?? I haven't even looked, I can imagine they'd be pretty expensive! Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview yes those kind
I think the S&W #3 was called the Frontier or the new model
The Scholfield had a very specific latch
Yeah, only after posting the video, did I realize there where very specific details that differentiate the Model 3 from the Schofield. Sorry about that! Thank you for watching!
Metallurgy is different I sure. Nice guns!
Oh definitely! The Barra is an aluminum alloy of some sort. Thanks for watching!
Always wanted a Schofield. It might be my next purchase. I have an 1873 Colt bb gun.
The Cimarrons are expensive! The Barra, not so much. Thanks for watching!
ive always had a thing for top break i really want an h&r if i can ever find one in person cheap
Everytime I find an affordable H&R, they seem to be worn out. Thanks for watching Joe!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview yeah its pissing me off i really wanted one forever to go with my 1953 922 revolver but the darn things are like 400 bucks now
I love this channel

Thanks! I think I'm going to work on the "correct" hat first then, when the weather starts to get really cold, I'll make the holster/belt rig.
Umm I think you bought a replica #3 American, the bb gun has the correct Scofield latch.
Yeah, you are correct. I didn't realize the subtle differences in the two. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
That's a great BB gun , love to have One in the shed with me shooting at mice ... Enjoyed watching that video Richard 👍
That does sound like fun! Lol. Thanks for watching Shane!
This video is nine months old and I cannot find your Cimarron S&W American anywhere for sale!
I don't sell guns but there is a "Gallery of Guns" out there you may want to check.
Rich, I'm so looking forward to these next vids. Knowing how you replicate leather work, I'm sure the holsters will be works of art. Thx for the vid
William, I'm waiting on those cold wintery days, when the outdoors is fit for neither man nor beast. That's when I try to do my leather videos.
Where are the Barre Schofeilds made?
I’m liking the BB gun 👍
It's not a bad reproduction at all. Thanks for watching!
You can shoot pellets with that gun if you buy the pellets shell.
Yes, I need to pick up a set of them still. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Thank you!
because your real s&w replica they are an number 3 and not an scofield like the co2 replica the locke is the lock of an séw american notscofield

Yes, that was already pointed out to me, thanks though!
I'm sure I'll make more mistakes in the future. Hopefully when I do the review on the S&W Model 3, I will get all the details correct.
Alec Baldwin should have been handed nothing stronger than a barra bb revolver.
Should have just been a cap gun! Even a BB can do some damage. Thanks for watching.
