SAFETIES INCLUDED WITH THE VORTEK
STRIKERFIRE™
Your Traditions™ Vortek Strikerfire™ break-action muzzleloader
comes equipped with dual safeties.
The first safety is an internal striker block safety that blocks the striker
from being released and hitting the primer unless the trigger has been
pulled. This prevents the striker from hitting the primer in the case of a
drop or sudden impact.
The second safety is an ambidextrous mechanical trigger block safety
that prevents the trigger from being pulled back and allowing the sear
to become disengaged. The rifle can be cocked and also de-cocked
with the trigger block safety engaged.
