Installation of the Accelerator Breech Plug™:
Note: Before attempting to install the Accelerator Breech Plug™ be
sure to inspect the fire channel of the breech plug to make sure it is
clean and free of any obstructions.
Place the breech plug in the barrel and thread the breech plug into the
barrel using your fingers and rotating the breech plug in a clockwise
rotation. Continue to do so until the Accelerator Breech Plug™ makes
contact with the barrel and seats firmly.
Note: If the breech plug does not thread smoothly or seat fully, remove
it and visually inspect the o-ring for wear and the threads on the plug
and inside the barrel for fouling or obstructions.
Traditions™ recommends removing, cleaning and re-lubing the breech
plug every 10-15 shots. With proper maintenance and care the o-ring
will last many years. The o-ring is in place as a gas check and helps to
block fouling from reaching the threads. The plug can still be used
without the o-ring but may become difficult to remove due to the fouling
that will take place.
Installation of Breech Plug and Musket Nipple on
Northwest Magnum model
:
1. Make sure that the threads of both the breech plug and the musket
nipple are clean of all debris and fouling. Be sure to clean the
threads inside the barrel of any debris as well.
2. Apply liberally to the threads Traditions™ Breech Plug and Nipple
grease. This will help to prevent the breech plug becoming seized in
the threads of the breech.
3. Re-install the breech plug into the barrel using the larger end of the
wrench and turning it clockwise until tight.
4. Re-install the musket nipple into the breech plug using the smaller
end of the wrench and turning it clockwise until tight. Do not over
tighten or the nipple may break.
16. SIGHTING IN AND SCOPE
MOUNTING
SIGHTING IN:
Start your sighting in at approximately 25 yards with a large target. You
want to achieve a grouping of shots no matter where on the target first.
After you are able to shoot at least 3 shots in the same 2” area, then
adjust your sight to the center bull’s-eye.
