Can anyone please tell me how to remove the barrel on my ASG Schofield?, it has side play and is no longer accurate. I cannot find anything on you tube. Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards, Stasos.

Regards, Stasos. Sounds to me like either the hinge bolt needs tightening or that you need to fit a set of shims on either side of the frame's hinge point. I did the same thing to my Webley mk VI (which has the same break and hinge system as the Schofield). |

Hi iI removed mine to cut it down to 5inch barrel. 1. Remove both grips.co2 side is easy other side undo screw 2. Undo the two screws each side of the rear sight and remove it ..NOTE there is a spring location in the right hand bottom corner of the sight you have to locate this spring when re fitting the sight 3. Knock out the 2 pins from right to left that hold the cylinder retainer . located at back of barrel above the cylinder. remove cylinder 4. Undo the screw at the barrel pivot point 5. Undo the 3 tiny screws that now hold the left side cover onto the frame 2 under left grip, 1 at top under rear sight 6. remove plate 7 barrel can now be slid off sideways .. NOTE shell lifter lever is located in the middle of the barrel pivot and may fall out 8. To remove inner barrel knock out the very tiny pin that holds it in .. NOTE inner barrel is a floating barrel and is spring loaded Hope this is of some help  |

I'll dig out some pictures and a description buddy but I'm just about to go out for the evening so it'll probably be tomorrow before I get to post a reply. |

No worries. Mine is loose too after 1 week of being new. I was thinking about just loctiting the barrel pivot screw in as tightening it seems to work for about 5 minutes. I guess with shims it's harder to break?

I guess with shims it's harder to break? I cut four washers out of an old milk carton as sacrificial shims for the barrel pivot point, using two on each side, lathered in silicon grease works really well to take up the 'slop'. If need be, try one on each side first and see how it feels and add another one/two as needed. Using polypropylene makes sure that there is no undue wear and tear on the actual frame and the slop doesn't get any worse over time/use.  You can buy a very cheap circle cutter for paper (like a compass set with a sharp blade instead of a pencil) that works really well for cutting the shims out of plastic, look on ebay or at any local paper craft store, they're only a couple of quid. As for breaking open the action, mine is perfectly easy to open, there's no friction between the barrel and frame at all as it just takes up the slop without causing any frictional interference between the two parts. I hope that helps buddy  |

Thanks for the tip, I made some with a milk carton too and it's completely fixed the "slop" horizontally and vertically. 4 was too many, 2 was perfect. It is stiffer now though, it won't fall open by itself when you open the latch.

It is stiffer now though, it won't fall open by itself when you open the latch. I've found that different sized milk cartons (330ml, 1L, 2L, etc) have different thicknesses of material so finding the right thickness to suit the 'gap' should be easy enough and then you'll have a better/easier opening action. |
