In order to have maximum performance, it may be necessary to establish the preferred load
which you will be shooting and make any necessary sight adjustments after that load is
determined.
In case you have dove tail shape sights, it is possible to correct the point of impact by moving
the front and or rear sights to the right or to the left.
If you have fixed sights, alignment can be reached shaping or filing the front sight and/or the
rear sight.
Identify marking:
Our firearms have a serial number that you’ll find on the barrel.
Close to the serial number you’ll find the certification mark of the Italian National Proof
House. Moreover we mark all our firearms with the name of our Factory, the calibre of the
gun and the inscription “Black Powder Only” and “Made in Italy”
Ordinary and extraordinary maintenance:
• Before any kind of maintenance, be sure that the firearm is unloaded.
• “ORDINARY MAINTENANCE” means any maintenance the owner must do to have the gun
in perfect conditions after using it.
• “EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE” means to replace broken or worn parts found on the
firearm. In this case only a qualified gunsmith may service the gun for repair or serious
maintenance.
• Also, complete resetting, after long periods of inactivity would require “EXTRAORDINARY
MAINTENANCE” even if correct maintenance was taken when placed the gun in storage.
• To prevent unnecessary maintenance, use proper care in cleaning after each use. Usually the
dealer that sell you the firearm would be able to advise you regarding the best lubricating oil
to use.
• Avoid excessive oil residue.
• Don’t use pure silicone or lanoline. After long periods of inactivity of your rifle, it’s adviseable
to completely disassemble and inspect it or give it to an authorized gunsmith for inspection.
These marks must never be modified or removed from the firearm FOR ANY
REASON.
