So I need some help from the experts here. Yesterday I ran across this Schofield at a local gun store. I handled it and it’s in great shape for its age. I passed on it yesterday but the more I think about the more I want it, even though it’s not cheap. I have found that HSM and Black Hills still make 45 S&W ammo, but I have heard that many of these were bored out to accept 45 LC as well. Not sure how to check for that though.
There is something wrong here. Real Schofields ARE .45's. If
you are looking at some Italian copy, I cannot say about them.
From your picture, it looks like a S&W Schofield 2000. These
were made by S&W starting around 2000 for the cowboy action
shooting sport. They are already .45 (that is, .45 S&W and not
Colt). They cannot be "bored out" to accept .45 Colt (the cylin-
der is too short).
