THUMB SAFETY
Traditions Turkey Pro shotguns are equipped with a trigger blocking
thumb safety. When this safety is set on "Safe"(S) or pulled to the rear, it
will restrict movement of the trigger. When the safety is set on "Fire" (F)
or pushed to the front, the hammer will be released and will fire when
the trigger is pulled.
CAUTION: With the safety set in the "Fire" (F) position, the
gun is now ready to fire. Never rely totally on your
muzzleloader’s mechanical "safety" device. The word
"Safety" describes a gun's trigger block mechanism. This
mechanical device is designed to place your gun in a safer
status. No guarantee can be made that the gun absolutely will
not fire even if the safety is set on the "Safe" (S) position. Like
any mechanical device, a "Safety" can sometimes fail. It can
be jarred or inadvertently manipulated into an unsafe
condition. Never test the safety while your muzzleloader is
loaded or at any time while it is pointed in an unsafe position.
A Note About Maintenance Procedures:
Proper maintenance and cleaning of your new muzzleloader will require
you to remove the barreled action from the stock. You must clean the
muzzleloader each time it is used. Please see the Disassembly and
Cleaning sections for more information. Take time before such cleaning
to study the Disassembly/Assembly procedures and the accompanying
photographs to thoroughly acquaint yourself with your muzzleloader's
subassemblies.
Removal of Barrel from the Stock
(All model In-Line Muzzleloaders)
