A NOTE ABOUT HISTORICAL FIREARM DESIGNS
Armi Sport proudly manufactures finely crafted firearms
product produced to famous historical designs. These
firearms are manufactured using precise modern
machinery and high quality modern materials. They are
faithful reproductions of firearms originally designed in
the nineteenth century; however, in choosing to own or
use historical firearms the user has to recognize that
there have been significant advances in firearms design
and safety in the hundred years or more since these
firearms were designed. Armi Sport manufactures these
guns not as state of the art firearms, but as historically
significant firearms for the collector. It is vital that the
user be familiar with his firearm and possible safety risks
that may be present in the design. Most significantly, the
user should realize that the designs of safeties - or even
the presence of adequate safeties - vary significantly on
historical designs and do not offer the protection against
accidental discharge that modern firearms safeties
achieve.
Similarly, any firearm that is designed to be fired using
black powder (or Pyrodex) has basic risks not found in
modern cartridge firearms. Black powder is a dangerous
explosive and has to be used and handled with extreme
caution. The slightest miscalculation or carelessness with
black powder firearms can result in serious injuries to the
user.
