How Much Diifence is there between Uberti and Navy Arms Schofields"

[WaddWatsonEllis]

Hi,

I have an old pir of 199os era Navy Arns Schofields ... my concerns are;

I have had and shot them for over six months, and I think they need more that a field stripping. Can one use the Uberti Instructions to break down a Navy Arms Schofield?

Do all the parts interchange without gunsmithing?

Wadd,

Take off the barrel and take out the cylinder, clean everything nicely includeing the hole the cylinder plunger goes in and you should be good to go.

Old Top,

Thanks for the info ... take off the cylinder I am prepared to do ... but the barrel ... sounds like a trip to the gunsmith ... when it comes to stitching skin or leather, I am okay ... but when the play is in the on thousandth of an inch? Time to call the gunsmith for an appointment .... LOL.

TTFN & Merry Christmas!

I think he means unscrew the main pivot screw and remove the barrel from the frame. The only thing you need to watch for is how the ejector assembly goes together for re-assembly. Unless something has changed, Navy Arms guns are made by Uberti.

Happy Holidays, All!

Trailrider,

That is kinda what I thought (about Uberti and Navy Arms) ...but importers have put some strange changes on their imports, and I wanted to be sure ...

TTFN,

If you take both pistols apart at the same time, keep the part separated.  The cylinders are serial numbered to match the pistol.  The pistols are fairly easy to remove the cylinder on.  Removing the side plate is easy to remove but a challenge to put back on, so unless you need to remove it don't.

They are the same gun with different roll marks and appointments, but otherwise the same.

Hi Virginia Gentle man et al.

First, top of the New Year to you!

One would think that a gunsmith is a gunsmith .... but if he has specialized in Glocks and M1911s, it would be a real help to send him to uberti's  site with the above info ....

TTFN,

WWE:  Seriously, if you can use a screw driver, you can do this yourself and just reverse the parts placement in reassembly.  A good cleaning using Ed's Red always makes my Schofields smoother.  Ed's Red receipe I use is equal parts of deodorized kerosene, varsol or ordorless mineral spirits and automatic transmission fluid.  You can add an equal part of acetone and lanolin, but for my cleaning I leave them out.  I also lube with ATF on all my revolvers as they operate well when shot with lead bullets.
