BTACK POWDER REVOLVERS 1 GENERAL USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - Please read carefully this leaftei before using or handling your revolver! GENERAL HINTS AND PRECAUTIONS Our black powder revolvers are faithful replicas of original models and maintain their design and mechanical features. They are different, of course, from modern cartridge firearms in operation and loading. AlVbodV using these guns must know that improper handling must be absolutely avoided, so that no harm may result.

BLACK POWDER 1 - Black powder is the only safe propellant for use in any muzzleloading firearm. 2 - Always be sure to employ commercially manufactured black powder for use in muzzleloaders, supplied by a reputable dealer, and with proper granulation. 3- b) Place the hammer in the half-cock position (first audible "click"). c) Rotate the cylinder, so that the loading lever, when lowered, will hit the area between the cylinder chambers.

The grease lubricates the borc <>l llrc lr;rrrr:l and keeps the black powder fouling soft, to allow moro :;lrol:; lrclwcen cleanings and easier cleaning at the end of a shoolirrrl :;cl;:;ion. 10 - A light gun oil should be used to lrrlrrir;:rlc all moving parts. Do not apply oil heavily, in order to avoi(l ;rtlrliliorvrl fouling during shooting and more cleaning between shols .l Put on your shatterproof shootin(l r;lir;r;r-.

16 - A thin ring of lead will be shaved off the ball by the opening of the chamber. This occurrence illustrates that the ball is properly fitted to the chamber and will not loosen during shooting. Be sure ball or bullet is seated firmly against powder. No air space should exist between ball and powder. Repeat this loading procedure for four additional chambers. Note: Normally only five chambers of a six-shot gun are loaded.
