Step 2:
Once all of you parts are present and accounted for you can start to
“dryt”themtothegun.Thisprocessshouldbetakenveryseriouslyasit
will pay big dividends later when the final fit and finish occurs.
General Assembly Instructions:
1. Fitting: All metal parts should be placed into their respective
cut-outs in the stock and should fit snugly. Remove wood
sparingly and only as needed with a sharp chisel or carving tool.
Proceed slowly, it is better to remove too little wood then take too
much out.
2. Woods Screws: to facilitate assembly and to avoid cracking the
   stock,markanddrillsmallpilotholesintothewoodusinga#54
drill bit before inserting Wood Screws.
3. Metal Screws: Turn Screws into and out of their threaded holes
several times to burnish the threads to insure smooth fit.
Dry Fitting:
LockAssembly:
1. Start with the lock assembly. Press firmly into the pre cut
inletting. Place the back end in first and then the front of the lock
assembly (Note: it should fit snugly but not so tight that you need
to force it in.) If forcing is required note the areas where wood
removal needs to occur. In the event that the lock is loose you
will need to add spacers in the gaps to ensure a proper fit. Wood
putty can be used to fill in holes, but do not use to hold lock
assembly in place.
2. Once the lock assembly is in place visually verify that the screw
holes line up. If holes are not perfectly aligned, enlarge one or
both stock holes with a round file or drill to permit alignment.
Screws should be snug against the barrel.
3. Install the lock plate screw & washer through the hole in the
stock, and then install the second lock screw in through the hole
in the front of the lock plate and into the stock.
Note all areas where additional fitting is required. You can use a pencil to
outline areas where wood needs to be removed. Once all the excess areas
have been removed and holes aligned proceed to the next step.
Barrel Assembly & Trigger Assembly into Stock:
1. Test that the tang screw turns smoothly within its corresponding
threaded hole in the trigger plate by turning it in and out several
times to burnish the threads.
• If forcing occurs note areas that need to be filed or removed.
Remove wood sparingly.
   • Ensure the top bar of the trigger does not touch any wood.
   • If too lose note areas where wood putty is needed.
After inspecting trigger assembly fit, make sure that it is
properly aligned with the barrel tang hole. If the holes are not
perfectly aligned enlarge with a round wood file or drill bit.
• Once all the excess areas have been removed and holes
aligned proceed to the next step.
4. Test that the wedge transverses from the lock side of the stock
and exits the cut out on the opposite side. Remove wedge.
5. Install the ramrod thimble/rib to the underside of the barrel with
the thimble/barrel rib screws. Make sure to connect the thimbles
to the rib before installing the rib to the barrel.
At this time set the stock and components off to the side. We are going
to move onto the barrel at this time. For the next step you will need the
Barrel Assembly, Barrel Tenon, Nipple and Bolster Screw.
6. First we want to attach the barrel tenon to the barrel assembly.
This is done by inserting the tenon into its slot on the barrel.
   Usingarubbermalletorsmallhammergentlytapinplaceuntil
tenon is evenly centered on barrel
7. Once this is complete, thread the nipple into the bolster. Finger
tighten only. At this time you can also screw the bolster screw

till snug.
   • Coat the thread of each with lube for easy future removal.
Note: Once all these parts are installed we want to fit the barrel to
the stock.
2. Test that the trigger moves freely within the trigger guard. If not,
move it back & forth a few times to free up any binding. Pushing
the trigger sideways in its housing will also help loosen
its movement.
3. Place the Trigger assembly into its cut out slot. Here again you
want a snug fit but not so tight that it has to be forced in.

   • File the tang surfaces sparingly and only if needed to obtain a
smooth, flush, yet snug fit.
• These parts should require a moderate amount of force to join
them together.
   • If holes are not perfectly aligned, enlarge with round file or
drill bit to permit alignment.
Since this hole attaches the tang to the trigger assembly we will install
that next. Once all the problem areas have been removed and holes
aligned proceed to the next step.
Next you want to make sure that the barrel tenon lines up correctly
through its hole. To do this inset barrel wedge from the lock side and
gently tap into place.
Note: Barrel Tenon should fit snugly. If the fit is too tight, sparingly file
or sand the bottom of the tenon to reduce it slightly. If the tenon
is too loose, using a hammer and a punch, indent the surface
at the base of the dovetail with the punch so as to raise the edges
around the punch indentations. An additional method of
tightening is to install the tenon and tap the angular edges of the
dovetail with a hammer and punch so as to capture the tenon.
Note: It will be necessary to remove the tenon in order to completely
coat the dovetail and tenon surfaces with bluing or browning
solutions. Final fitting will happen after coloring.
   • To tighten fit you can place the wedge in a vice and bend by
gently tapping with a hammer in the direction it needs to go.
   • To loosen fit flatten the wedge.
   • To help ease this process screw the stock plate in place on the
left side of the stock. This will help to ensure proper line up.
   • Once you are sure of the alignment you can pull the wedge
back out, slide the right side plate onto the wedge and reinsert
it into the hole.
   • Make sure to drive it all the way through. Now your right side
plate is perfectly lined up and all you need to do is screw it
in place.
Note: To properly fit the barrel to the stock place the barrel into the
barrel tang and gently set into stock. Make sure that barrel is all
the way back into the tang slot. You need to visually inspect to
make sure that bolster lines up with hammer and that when the
hammer falls it hits the cap squarely. You must also pay close
attention that there is a very slight gap between the bolster &
locking plate.
8. Take the barrel tang and insert into its cut out area. This part
should go into place rather easily. Visually inspect to make sure
holes are correctly aligned.
General Assembly Instructions
Step 1:
After removing the rifle kit from the box, peel away the plastic protec-
tive layer and inventory that all parts are included. The easiest way to do
this is check off each item and quantity. Then place them in a closeable
tray for safe keeping. Please refer to enclosed parts list, if any are missing
or are lost during the building process please reference the part number
and call Traditions to reorder.
