2. Wipe with a clean cotton cloth. Repeat until all residue is off.
3. Apply some Tradition’s Breech Plug grease onto the threads of the
breech plug.
4. Place the breech plug in the receiver.
5. Slide the wrench onto the threads and screw it in clockwise.
6. Securely tighten the breech plug into the breech area.
Installation of the Nipple:
1. Before installing a nipple, be sure to clean and lubricate the threads
with Traditions Breech Plug/Nipple Grease or Wonderlube 1000
Plus. When lubricating, take care to not get any grease in flash hole
of nipple. Pipe cleaners or a nipple pick are excellent to clean out the
flash hole in nipples.
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.

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.
