2. Place the nipple on the end of the wrench and insert it through the
receiver (while squeezing the trigger) to thread it into the breech plug.
3. Snug the nipple into the breech plug. Take care not to overtighten.
ADJUSTABLE TRIGGER
Your rifle has an adjustable trigger that has been preset at the factory
for optimum hunting performance. The adjustment screws have been
fixed at the factory with a thread locking sealant.
WARNING: No adjustments to the trigger or sear can be
made except by the factory or a certified gunsmith only.
Trigger pull should never be set to less than three pounds.
LOADING
For reasons of safety and proper performance, these loading
instructions for your Traditions Muzzleloader must be followed
closely. While some of the procedures may seem cumbersome, with
practice they will soon become second nature and will make for safe,
dependable and accurate shooting. (It is very helpful to have an
experienced black powder shooter with you the first few times you
load and shoot your muzzleloader.) If, after reading these
instructions you still have questions concerning the safe use of your
Muzzleloader, contact Traditions Customer Service Department.
Follow these instructions in their sequence:
PROPELLANTS:
If you have any questions regarding powder velocities and
pressures please contact the manufacturer of the propellant.
1. Black powder, Pyrodex, Pyrodex pellets or Triple 7 powder are the
only safe propellants to use in this muzzleloading rifle.
2. The term “black powder” does not refer to any powder black in
color, since modern smokeless powders are also black in color.
3. Be certain that the propellant you select is commercially
manufactured black powder, Pyrodex or Triple 7 for use in
muzzleloaders.
DANGER: The use of SMOKELESS POWDER in any
TRADITIONS muzzleloaders will result in excessively
high pressures and can cause serious damage to the rifle
and possible injury or death to the shooter and bystanders.
