The Bear River Schofield No 3 Replica BB revolver .177 cal. Co2 powered (12 gr) 6 shot capacity.

Caution: BB and Pellet guns are not toys. Read all Cautions
and instructions before loading.
Handle any gun as if it were loaded. Airguns can cause serious injury or death.

Above: The top break design allows for quick shell ejection and reloading. This was a huge advantage over the Colt Peacemaker of the same era. The Colt Peacemaker could only eject and reload one chamber at a time. Easy to see why the Schofield model 3 was the revolver of choice for the US Cavalry of the 1860's. The Schofield No 3 is double action only. (you have to cock it before each shot) Just like the original.

Above: I have owned a few replica BB revolvers including a Dan Wesson, Crosman (dual amo long barrel), Umarex (Colt Python), and Bear River (tactical .357) BB revolver. None of them could match the smoothness of the cocking mechanism on the Bear River Schofield.  

Above: The Bear River Schofield is not perfect. For example, optional wood grips would be fantastic. And the Allen wrench built into the grip. I don't trust it, it looks like the grip could break under the preasure.
I chose to use one of my own Allen wrenches.  

Above: The build quality of the trigger hammer is excellent. I mention this because some of the replica revolvers have that unsightly raised seam that goes right down the center of the trigger. Why build a beautiful replica revolver then install a trigger that looks like it came off a cheap dime store cap gun?  I would rather spend a few more dollars for a nicely finished trigger. I will mention this, the trigger hammer on the Umarex Colt Python was also very nicely finished. 

Above: While I would prefer wood grips, I should review the plastic grips. They do look very much like real wood. One side of the grip pops off for installing the C02 cartridge. I think this looks and feels better than the grips that pivot towards the back. Those grips always feel loose to me. And the seam (when closed) can be noticeable especially after some use.

 Above: The grips on the Umarex Colt Python are rock solid. The grips only down side is the Co2 port hole on the butt end of the revolver. I think "just maybe" a good hardware store might stock a plastic tubing plug that would fit.
