ASG Schofield 6 Review: The Classic Top-Break Revolver Reborn
The ASG Schofield 6 revolver brings the iconic 19th-century Smith & Wesson Schofield design to life as a modern CO2 airgun. Known for its distinctive top-break action and Western styling, the Aged Black version offers a weathered, authentic look. This review covers its operation as a .177 pellet shooter, compares it to the ASG Dan Wesson, and explains its appeal to collectors and plinkers.
Authentic Design and Top-Break Action
First, the ASG Schofield CO2 revolver is an officially licensed replica. It faithfully replicates the original’s mechanics and weight. The defining feature is the top-break action. Pressing the latch allows the barrel to hinge downward, ejecting all six spent casings (or in this case, dummy cartridges) at once for a very realistic and satisfying reload. The ASG Schofield 6 Noir Délavé (Aged Black) finish gives it a distinct, “been-there” character that many collectors prefer over a shiny finish.
Performance as a Pellet-Firing Replica
This is a pellet revolver, not a BB shooter. It fires 4.5mm (.177) diabolo pellets loaded into the tips of realistic, shell-style cartridges. Powered by a standard 12g CO2 cartridge in the grip, it operates in single-action mode only—you must cock the hammer for each shot. This makes it excellent for deliberate, accurate plinking and target shooting, enhancing the historical shooting experience.
A common comparison is ASG Schofield 6 vs. ASG Dan Wesson. The Dan Wesson replicas are modern, swing-out cylinder revolvers often with a double-action trigger. The Schofield offers a completely different, historically significant action and feel.
Understanding the Models and Calibers
It’s important to clarify the 6mm reference. The Revolver Schofield 6 likely refers to the six-shot capacity. The caliber is 4.5mm (.177). Searches for Revolver Schofield Wikipédia will detail the historical firearm, which our ASG replica is based upon.
Final Verdict: A Collector’s Shooter
In conclusion, the ASG Schofield 6 is engineered for enjoyment and appreciation, not rapid fire. It is the perfect choice for:
-
Western history enthusiasts and replica collectors.
-
Shooters who enjoy a slow, deliberate, and highly realistic plinking experience.
-
Fans of unique mechanics who appreciate the top-break action.
If you want a double-action revolver for fast shooting or a highly accurate target pistol, other models are better. But for unparalleled Old West charm and a brilliantly executed replica, the ASG Schofield 6 is a standout.
