Yup, all made by Uberti. I have to say though that the deep, rich blueing and beautiful metal polishing work on my Schofield is pretty impressive.

Just want to throw in my 2 cents on whether is worth it or not to Remove the Modern-Alteration Hammer Block safety that comes inside the action of the present day Schofield repros by Uberti and all...

Hey There Babbott, Thanks for keeping those old Girls alive and showing them that love. I have to be happy with my 44-40 chambered Uberti 1873 24” sporting rifle clone, but I enjoy the Dickens out of...

HI "Bent Ramrod" (funny),
Thank you very much for that detailed description of your experience on this stuff. Regrettably, my outdoor range absolutely Forbids Any "reloading activity" of Any Sort...
The Deep Blue-Black on the Octagonal barrel is flawless. I am also only able to approach cleaning (and would be case for lapping too) from the crowned Muzzle.
If I hurt that beautiful deep finish...
I would really rather not get onto having to casting a lapp and all that good stuff. I think also a lot easier to wreck the barrel if you are hand-lapping, no?
