Amazing, I just did as well; a 3 screw in 6 1/2" with two cylinders. Of course ejection is not an issue for a single action but it will be fun to see if the shortened Schofield cases shoot better in the ACP cylinder with no bullet jump to the cylinder throats, than in the Colt cylinder.
What barrel length did you get?
