Of the examples I have had, 3 now, all have been NIB and in perfect condition. They were all fitted exceptionally nice, nearly perfect. I'm not sure what the inner frame boss is? I've read one poster that has complained about the forcing cone being too thin, I have never had one crack. His gun was a Uberti if I recall. My first two Schofields were only fired around 250 rounds each though, so that is not much use.
