SCHOFIELD SMITH & WESSON REVOLVER
This excellent arm, formerly largely used in the United States Army, is the Smith & Wesson revolver modified. The principal changes from the original Smith & Wesson revolver are in the extractor, the cylinder catch and the barrel catch. The barrel is joined to the frame by a joint screw. Under and behind the barrel projects the base pin upon which the cylinder revolves. This is kept in its place on its pivot by the inner hook of the cylinder-catch, and is held down by the cylinder-catch cam, the upper part of the middle portion of which is cut away and allows the catch to rise when the cam is turned to a certain position. See Smith & Wesson Arms.
