As long as you're OK with making baby Jesus weep and spending the rest of eternity in hell, well, it's your gun.    If you're going to do it, why not blast and parkerize the barrel and cylinder and yeah, I'd go with some sort of inletted grips with some type of talisman in them.  I'd use a Holosun or similar, not a tube type sight.  Bowen Classic makes some nice looking lanyard rings; they have also made an interesting looking "Commander" style ring hammer for single actions that would definitely look different on a Schofield and position it lower for easier cocking.

Keeping the original case hardened and charcoal blued finish, otherwise I would’ve just bought the regular model.

The tube sight is a Holosun:

The X300U is exactly the right size to fit under the barrel in front of the ejector housing without extending beyond the muzzle. Help keep the lens clean that way

At present it is a giant fidget toy. Working the action on this thing is a viscerally satisfying experience.

But I do agree, a BBQ gun is no good if you don’t have a holster to carry it in at the BBQ

Sorry for a bit of delay on continued updates everyone, stuff’s in transit but just hasn’t gotten to me yet. I did also order up a set of snap caps to keep in the revolver during my obsessive clicking and working of the action, to help protect the firing pin/frame/lock work from any unwanted damage.

I think I’ve also decided - eventually, after this build is done and when I can afford it - to also pick up a 1873 Colt and 1875 Remington clone to create a nice set of 1870s S&W, Colt, and Remington reproductions.

How are you planning on doing that, if the top straps are insufficient for RDS, and the ejector rod would interfere with WML?

I know that for a while there were revolvers with rails on the bottom of the grip for mounting WMLs (for much the same reason as the TRR8 exists, ostensibly to give shield guys the ability to have a non-jamming shield pistol), but I've never seen such a thing even proposed for single action models.

Since the Rem and Colt clones aren’t top-break and don’t have to worry about taking up space under the barrel for proper ejection, something like this solution:



https://www.unclefudd.com/post/space-cowboy-revolver-ready-for-action

Cut slots in the handguard to still be able to actuate the ejector rod of both and should be no problem. Honestly I probably would’ve preferred this type of solution for the Schofield too, but it wouldn’t allow the pivot to open all the way for the ejector to completely kick out empties. Just mounting the WML under the barrel forward of the ejector housing will leave enough clearance to still completely open the action for ejection

These are 3D printed but same basic idea, shrouding the barrel and mounting RDS/WML to that:

Also not sure why everyone thinks the old style SAA wheelguns don’t have enough material in the top strap to drill and tap, it’s been done multiple times:

Actually…Now that I think about it a section of handguard might work perfectly on the Schofield too. It’d need some trimming to make sure nothing impeded the opening action and ejection but it could work, and would probably be a better solution than two separate little rail segments…

Historically hasn't been a problem on my TRR8 with its WML or RDS; it works best to either turn it "on" or "off", rather than attempt "momentary on".  Doesn't catch any powder, blast, or fragments.

That being said, I'm quite curious how that tube type RDS right above the cylinder gap will fare, as my RDS on my TRR8 sits a bit higher and doesn't stick in front of the gap as much (though it does sit over top of it).

WMLs on revolvers aren't as bad as they're made out to be, they just happen to be very non traditional.  Except for maybe on this project, whose results remain to be seen.

That’s just a mock up of the general idea. I’ll probably play around with the cantilever mount a bit and push the optic further back to better balance the gun.

Plus if my idea to use a M-Lok handguard pans out, the front cylinder gap should be pretty covered

45ACP moon clip conversion is certainly an option as well but for now I just want to start with getting the rail, sight, and light mounted up and working. From there we’ll see what else we can do.

The replacement grips should get here this weekend, then I’ll be taking the gun to my gunsmith early next week to select, cut up, and install the rail/handguard/barrel shroud/however you want to refer to it for this thing

New maple floral engraved grips arrived a bit earlier than expected and dropped right in. They’re gorgeous.



While I was messing with the grips anyway I did go ahead and remove the grip adapter piece. There’s no doubt the ergonomics are objectively better with it installed, but I have to admit the aesthetics are a bit better and cleaner without it - and in the case of this project, form is taking a bit of a priority over function. I’ll keep the adapter in my drawer in case I decide to put it back on but for now leaving the grip slim and svelte

Well that was a headache. I got the optic mount switched around to help move the mass of the red dot further back on the gun. It’ll help balance everything visually and physically once I’ve got a rail and X300U hanging off the barrel.

Current plan is to adapt a M-Lok handguard as a barrel shroud. That’ll provide a flat top rail and additional mounting point for M-Lok rail sections. Something like this:

The handguard will mount to the flat top rib and be trimmed for clearance for the cylinder and break action

Alright, a little good news/bad news. The bad news is, gunsmith didn’t take possession of the gun today. I need to select and order the handguard myself.

The good news is, gunsmith knows exactly how to do the modifications, that he absolutely can do the modifications, and he’s excited for it - he even explained how it would all be reversible with the only permanent modifications being about three screw holes through the top rib of the barrel. This thing is a confirmed go

I’ll be ordering the handguard tonight and once I get it in will be taking it and the gun back in to get worked up

I am open to alternatives for the grip, especially once the rail and electronics get mounted up. Something a bit more contemporary might be more fitting - if I can find them.

Probably the closest I’d be able to find to actual carbon fiber would be black pearl:

Although LS Grips - who made the engraved maple and black pearl Schofield grips - does do truly custom, one-off grips too:

I’d be willing to bet they could put something a bit futuristic together depending on how pricey I want to get…
