WARNING
*YOU RISK PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH BY HANDLING THIS FIREARM*
Before handling any firearm, make sure you know the safety procedures and most importantly, keep the
firearm pointed in a safe direction.
Before handling this firearm, read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual. Always keep this
manual with the firearm. If you lend, give or sell this firearm, be sure the manual goes with it. If there is
anything you do not understand, seek advice from someone qualified in safe handling of firearms. You must
ALWAYS obey the following warnings, instructions and safety procedures:

Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

Firearms should be unloaded and secured when not actually in use.

Don’t rely on your firearm’s safety.

Be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

Use ONLY black powder or a good quality black powder substitute.

If your firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, handle with care.

Always wear ear and eye protection when shooting.

Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting.

Don’t alter or modify your firearm and have it serviced regularly.

Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of your rifle.

Never smoke while loading, shooting or handling black powder, black powder substitutes or any other
powder.

Never let the hammer fall without a percussion cap on the nipple .

Black powder’s residue is highly “hygroscopic” (attracts water) and will rust you gun if not promptly cleaned.

Use only non synthetic cloth patching for cleaning this firearm.

Treat a misfire or failure to fire with extreme care.

Never attempt to shoot out a bullet which is not firmly seated against the black powder, or black powder
substitute, charge.

Shoot sober!
WARNING: Use black powder or black powder substitutes ONLY - never use any amount of
smokeless powder. All Davide Pedersoli guns have been proof tested at the National Proof House in
Gardone Val Trompia, Italy with a forced test firing, as the mark stamped on each gun testifies. Each
barrel carries the words “Black Powder only”. Under no circumstances should any powder other than
black powder or black powder substitutes be used in this gun. Use of any other propellant may cause
serious injury to the shooter and damage to the gun. Black powder should never be stored in a plastic
container, which could build a static electricity charge. Keep black powder and black powder substitutes in
their original container away from heat sources.
WARNING: PRIMERS AND PERCUSSION CAPS SHOULD BE STORED IN A SEPARATE LOCATION FROM
BLACK POWDER.

WARNING
LEAD
The actual firearm does not contain any lead; however, it does fire bullets made of lead or lead compounds
known to cause cancer, birth defects, reproductive toxicity, and other serious physical injury. Those who
discharge a firearm, stand near someone who discharges a firearm or clean firearms are hereby warned of the
dangers presented by lead and lead compounds and should take protective health measures. Avoid exposure
to lead while handling and wash your hands after contact. Proper air ventilation is absolutely necessary when
shooting indoors.
NOTICE
MUZZLE LOADING GUNS CAN BE DANGEROUS IF IMPROPERLY USED
and are imported into the USA by I.F.G. with the specific understanding that we are not responsible in any
manner whatsoever for their safe handling or resale under local laws and regulations.
I.F.G. shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for malfunctioning of the gun, for physical injury or for
property damage resulting in whole or in part from (1) intentional or negligent discharge, (2) improper or
careless handling, (3) unauthorized modifications and/or alteration of the internal/safety mechanisms, (4)
defective, improper, high pressure, hand-loaded, or reloaded ammunition, (5) corrosion and/or lack of proper
maintenance (6) neglect, or (7) other influences beyond our direct and immediate control. This limitation
applies regardless of whether liability is asserted on the basis of contract, negligence or strict liability (including
any failure to warn). Under no circumstance shall I. F. G. be liable for incidental or consequential damages,
such as loss of use of property, commercial loss and loss of earnings or profits.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR
LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE
Get competent firearms instruction in safe handling before using this gun. Please ask your dealer for names of
qualified instructors near you. All guns are extremely dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that
the firearm user is the primary “safety” and that reliance on any mechanical safety device should never replace
safe handling procedures.
This firearm WILL FIRE if the trigger is pulled while black powder is in the chamber and a percussion cap is on
the nipple or a flint in the hammer frizzen closed with powder in the pan.
Percussion Caps are sensitive to static electricity, heat, flame and impacts. Do not use glass containers to
store them, but leave them in their original containers.
Treat a misfire or failure to fire with extreme care. Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction and wait for at
least 60 seconds before re-priming; there is the chance a spark could be smoldering in the powder and the
gun could fire at any moment.
WARNING: NEVER SHOOT A BULLET THAT IS NOT FIRMLY SEATED OVER THE BLACK POWDER OR BLACK
POWDER SUBSTITUTE CHARGE. SHOOTING THE FIREARM WHILE THERE IS AN EMPTY SPACE BETWEEN THE
PROJECTILE AND THE POWDER CHARGE COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGES TO THE FIREARM AND INJURY TO
THE SHOOTER AND THOSE AROUND YOU.
If powder fouling or other circumstances should cause the projectile to become lodged in the bore, partially
down the barrel, the bullet must be removed with a screw tip style bullet-puller. Some black powder solvent
can be poured to soften any fouling which could be holding the bullet. A reference mark on the ramrod will
insure that all future bullets are seated to the same depth and firmly seated against the powder charge.
DO NOT LOAD THIS RIFLE UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND HOW IT OPERATES. KEEP this rifle unloaded at all
times except when you are ready to fire and are sure of your target.
ALWAYS carry this rifle in a case or original box unloaded.
Get instructions from a competent firearms instructor before using this or any firearm. Learn from a
professional how to handle, load, unload, operate, fire and care for your gun.
5
NEVER point this rifle at anything that is not your intended target even if the rifle is unloaded. When loading,
unloading, cleaning or handling, always be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and always keep your
finger off the trigger.
NEVER assume any gun is unloaded. Before handling, check to make sure the chamber is empty. See
Unloading Instructions. Make sure you know that this or any firearm is fully unloaded before displaying or
handling it. When handling any firearm, keep your fingers away from the trigger at all times until you intend to
fire.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF
SOMEONE ELSE
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Treat every gun as if it is loaded...all the time. NEVER point
any firearm (loaded or unloaded) at any person or anything you do not intend to shoot. Always keep your gun
unloaded until ready to use and make sure that it is unloaded before cleaning.
Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target and ready to shoot. Learn to rest
your finger outside of the trigger guard.
NEVER PLAY with your firearm. It is not a toy and can be a very dangerous weapon that can cause serious
personal injury or death.
Do not use your firearm for purposes other than those for which it was designed.
Do not allow a firearm to be used by untrained individuals.
NEVER rely on a gun’s “safety” to protect you from unsafe gun handling. A safety is only a mechanical device,
not a substitute for using common sense and following gun safety procedures.
NEVER leave a gun unattended or where it could fall.
Store guns and powder separately and beyond the reach of children. Make sure that they are properly
secured so untrained individuals and children will be denied access to your guns and ammunition.
Test your gun’s operation and safeties only at a shooting range while the firearm is pointed in a safe direction.
Know your target and what is beyond. Ask yourself what your projectile will hit if it misses the target or passes
through the intended target. Remember, a fired projectile can travel over a mile (including a ricochet) and is
capable of going through walls. Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or water.
Guns and alcohol or drugs do not mix. Don’t take any alcoholic beverages and/or drugs before or during
shooting activities.
NEVER pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch or fence with a loaded gun.
Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat, RV, camp or any building.
FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF
SOMEONE ELSE
When purchasing accessories such as leather or when adding accessories such as grips or sights, be sure
they are compatible with the firearm and do not interfere with safe operation.
Keep firearms unloaded when not actually in use. Load the gun only when on the range preparing to fire and
unload it before leaving the range.
NEVER put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.
ALWAYS WEAR protective shooting glasses and hearing protection when using firearms.
Spectators should be at least 5 ft behind and away from the shooter while the shooter is loading, shooting
and unloading.
Spectators should wear eye and ear protection and avoid distracting those shooting their firearms.
NEVER drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check it for proper function before using it again.
DO NOT alter or modify your gun. Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger pull, because it may affect sear
engagement and thereby cause accidental firing.
6
DO NOT remove any internal safety or safety device on the firearm. Safety mechanisms are designed to help
protect you from personal injury or death.
Properly maintain and keep your gun clean. Keep it in a dry place away from other metals and water. If your
gun shows sign of corrosion or improper operation, have it serviced by a competent gunsmith.
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction when loading and unloading your gun.
NEVER point the muzzle at anyone.
If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at the target for 60 seconds.
Sometimes slow primer ignition will cause a “hang fire” and the powder will go off after a short pause. If it still
fails to fire, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and avoid exposure to the breech, as you attempt to
unload your firearm.
NEVER let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel. Always be sure the barrel is free of any
obstruction.
Use the correct ammunition for your firearm. (See Ammunition Warning).
Teach children: 1. NOT to touch guns, bullets, cartridges, shells, flares or any explosive device and 2. That if
they discover such a dangerous item or weapon, they must immediately report its location to their parents,
school teacher or police.
Remember a firearm has the capability of taking your life or the life of someone else. Be careful with your
firearm - an accident is almost always the result of not following basic safety rules.
USED FIREARMS - Firearms are sometimes altered to work incorrectly, or parts may be removed, lost or
replaced with incorrect parts. If you got your firearm as a used gun, BEFORE USING IT you should take it to a
good gunsmith who knows DAVIDE PEDERSOLI firearms, and have him examine it.
If you are carrying a loaded gun in the field, never follow a companion.
Never cross obstacles such as fences or streams with a loaded gun.
Never run with a loaded gun.
Do not smoke while handling, loading or shooting black powder, black powder substitutes or any other
powder. Keep black powder in a closed container at all times, make sure you close it after each use.
WARNING: NEVER place or permit the hammer to remain at half-cock notch while there is a percussion
cap on the nipple or a flint in the hammer and a priming charge in the pan, as this is not a safe carrying
position. The hammer, in this position could fall forward and discharge the gun, causing injury, death, or
property damage.
WRITE I.F.G. concerning any items or circumstances that you do not understand and which might
relate to your safety and the operation of your firearm at:
I.F.G., P.O. Box 560746, ROCKLEDGE, FL 32956-0746 or email us at [email protected].
WARNING
POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE LOADING or firing a rifle, examine the bore and the firing chamber to be certain they are clean and
free of any obstruction. Even a heavy coat of oil, grease, snow or water may result in damage to the firearm
and injury to the shooter and/or persons near the firearm. A misfire or unusual sound upon firing is a signal to
cease firing and to examine the chamber and bore. If there is any obstruction, clear the obstruction and clean
the bore and chamber before firing. Any bore obstruction, even if it is only partly blocked, may cause the gun
to blow up if it is fired, or may cause damage to the gun such as a bulged barrel. To avoid injury or death to the
shooter or bystanders, check the barrels before shooting or if a shot does not sound normal.
7
WARNING
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! Never attempt to load or unload any firearm inside a
vehicle, building or other confined space (except a properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas
frequently offer no completely safe direction in which to point the firearm. If an accidental discharge occurs,
there is great risk of death, personal injury or property damage.
Before loading, always clean all, grease and oil from the bores and chambers, and check to be certain that no
obstructions are in the barrel. Any foreign matter in the barrels could result in a bulged or burst barrel or other
damage to the firearm and could cause serious injury to the shooter or to others.
WARNING
If there is any reason to suspect that a projectile is obstructing the barrel, immediately unload the firearm (See
Unloading Instructions) and check the chamber and the bore. A projectile or some other matter may be lodged
some distance down the barrel where it can not easily be seen. Check the bore by using a cleaning rod to
pass through the barrel. If a blockage is in the bore, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY ADDING
MORE BLACK POWDER OR ANY OTHER KIND OF POWDER, OR BLOW IT OUT WITH A BLANK
CARTRIDGE. SUCH TECHNIQUE(S) CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM
AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. If the blockage can be removed with a cleaning rod, clean any
unburned powder grains from the bore, chambers and mechanism before resuming shooting. If the blockage
can not be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning rod, take the firearm to a gunsmith.
WARNING
EYE AND EAR PROTECTION
When shooting, full eye and ear protection is mandatory at all times. Shooters and spectators must wear
shooting glasses and hearing protection to prevent eye injury and hearing loss. Vision and hearing impairment
can occur with only one moment of non-protection.
WARNING
MECHANICAL MALFUNCTIONS
STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY AND UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM if your firearm develops: a mechanical
malfunction; binding or stoppage; spitting powder/gas; a bulged barrel or a sound on firing does not sound
quite right. Do NOT try one more shot but unload your firearm and take it and the ammunition to a qualified
gunsmith for examination or send the firearm back to: I.F.G., 1426 King Street, COCOA, FL 32922
Do not assume that the rifle is empty merely because you checked the chamber. You must
also check the bore for any obstruction inside the barrel.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT HISTORICAL FIREARM DESIGN
Davide Pedersoli manufactures replicas of famous historical firearms. All Davide Pedersoli firearms are
manufactured using leading edge technology and high quality modern materials. The firearms are faithful
reproductions of firearms originally designed in the nineteenth century; if you choose to own or use a
reproduction of a historical firearm you should be aware that Davide Pedersoli manufactures these guns not as
state of the art firearms, but as reproductions for collectors. It is vital that the user be familiar with his firearm
and possible safety risks that may be present in the design. Most significantly, the user should realize that the
designs of safeties - or even the presence of adequate safeties - vary significantly on historical designs and do
not offer the protection against accidental discharge that modern firearms safeties offer. Similarly, any firearm
that is designed to be fired using black powder or a black powder substitute has risks not found in modern
cartridge firearms. Black powder is a dangerous explosive and has to be used and handled with extreme
caution. The slightest miscalculation or carelessness with a black powder firearm can result in serious injuries
to the user
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR GUN FOR THE FIRST TIME
WARNING: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE FIREARM IS UNLOADED AND POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION.





Using a quality gun solvent, remove all excess factory lubricant.
Lubricate all moving contact points with a good quality gun lubricant
Thoroughly clean the bore, and remove all excess solvent with clean, dry patches replacing them as often
as necessary until they come out clean and dry.
A slight film of gun oil should be left in the barrel during long periods of storage; however, the cleaning
procedure MUST be repeated before shooting the firearm.
The barrel must always be clean and dry before shooting.
AMMUNITION
WARNING: USE ONLY GOOD QUALITY BLACK POWDER OR BLACK POWDER SUBSTITUTE IN
THIS FIREARM.
1. Your firearm is built for “Black powder Only”: Use only GOOD QUALITY COMMERCIAL BLACK POWDER
or a GOOD QUALITY COMMERCIAL BLACK POWDER SUBSTITUTE.
2. Your gun has been designed for lead bullets of a specific gauge or caliber; do not alter the barrel, chamber,
caliber or gauge for which your gun was designed.
3. Use only LEAD BULLETS and BLACK POWDER specifically recommended for your firearm.
Davide Pedersoli rifles are stronger than their original versions due in part to improved steels as well as
changes made to strengthen the original design and to add safety features. However you must always follow
the safety rules, including the use of correct charges and their maximum developed pressure.
All Davide Pedersoli rifles are manufactured in Italy and, according to Italian Law, are proof tested at
the National Firing Proof House according to the rules imposed by C.I.P. (International Proof
Commission). Proper marks of the tests are stamped both on the barrel and the receiver of the rifle.
13
DOUBLE SET TRIGGER
Your rifle may come with a double set trigger.
PICTURE 1: DOUBLE SET TRIGGER
THE TRIGGER PULL MUST NEVER BE SET TO LESS THAN 3 LBS
How to “set” double set trigger: The FRONT trigger is the firing trigger, it can fire both as a normal trigger
or as a “double set trigger”; the REAR trigger is the “set” trigger. You ‘set’ the trigger by pulling the rear trigger
until it clicks. At this point you can release the fully cocked hammer by applying a light pressure to the ‘firing’
(front) trigger.
WARNING: AN IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED SET TRIGGER MAY RELEASE THE FULLY COCKED
HAMMER DUE TO A STRONG IMPACT TO THE RIFLE. PROPERLY ADJUSTED SET TRIGGERS WILL
NOT RELEASE THE COCKED HAMMER WITHOUT PULLING THE FIRING TRIGGER. READ CAREFULLY
THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ON HOW TO PROPERLY MAKE TRIGGER ADJUSTMENTS.
WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN THE GUN IS UNLOADED BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
REAR TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT
Point your firearm in a safe direction, make sure it is unloaded and put the hammer at half cock position.
1. Screw #1 controls the tension on the main spring #2. See picture 1.
2. Turn screw #1 in a clockwise direction until the hammer stays cocked when it is pulled to fully cocked
position.
NOTE: If screw #1 is set inwards (clockwise) too far, the hammer will not fall when the front trigger is
pulled.
If screw #1 is not set inwards (clockwise) enough, the hammer will not remain at full cock position unless
the rear trigger is “set” (clicked) first.
3. When making adjustments on screw #1 always move the screw in ¼ to ½ turn increments and recheck
your results before making more adjustments.
WARNING: T HE FRONT TRIGGER WILL RELEASE THE HAMMER EVEN IF THE REAR TRIGGER HAS
NOT BEEN “SET”.
FRONT TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT
1. The front trigger will release the hammer even if the rear trigger is not “set”.
2. The front trigger adjustment screw (#3) (See picture 1) changes the amount of movement, or “travel”, the
front trigger needs before releasing the hammer.
3. Turn screw #3 in a clockwise (inward) direction to reduce the front trigger movement required to release
the hammer.
14
4. Turn screw #3 in a counterclockwise (outwards) direction to increase the required front trigger movement
required to release the hammer.
5. NOTE. If screw #3 is turned inwards too far, it will not “hold” the setting against the rear trigger sear notch
(#4).
6. Proper adjustment should produce a very small trigger movement with light pressure required. Such a
setting helps a good shooter to obtain better accuracy.
Adjustment screws should be checked periodically to verify they are not loose due to shot vibrations.
WARNING: AFTER YOU ADJUST THE SET TRIGGER, AND BEFORE YOU SHOOT YOUR FIREARM,
YOU MUST MAKE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY TESTS:
SET TRIGGER SAFETY TEST
1. Make certain the gun is UNLOADED, without any powder in the chamber and pointed in a safe direction.
2. Place the hammer at half-cock position and cover the nipple with a piece of leather so the hammer will
strike against it and will not ruin the nipple. If you have a flintlock make sure there is a flint on the hammer.
3. Full cock the hammer, then set the trigger as explained above.
4. With the gun pointing upwards, knock the butt sharply, several times, against a wood surface, make sure
you protect the stock in a proper way. Repeat this impact test several times.
5. The hammer must not be released by these strong impacts. If the hammer remains in full cocked position,
your trigger setting is normal and safe.
6. If the hammer does release during this impact test, you must change the adjustment of the front, rear or
both triggers to obtain a proper safe setting.
CAUTION: If you allow others to shoot your rifle, we suggest letting them try the set triggers
before allowing live ammunition to be fired. The light trigger pressure can be a surprise to
many shooters who have not had previous experience with a set trigger system. The hammer
does not have to be cocked to allow this trigger practice. Just “set” the rear trigger and allow
the new shooter to experience the light trigger pull.
WARNING: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE TRIGGER PULL ADJUSTMENT
MECHANISM IN ORDER TO ALTER THE MINIMUM SETTINGS OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER FIREARM’S TRIGGER PULL NEVER ATTEMPT IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR
ALTER THE SEAR ENGAGEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRIGGER ASSEMBLY
COMPONENT.
SINGLE SET TRIGGER
Your rifle may come with an adjustable single set trigger.
PICTURE 2: SINGLE SET T RIGGER
THE TRIGGER PULL MUST NEVER BE SET TO LESS THAN 3 LBS
How to “set” single set trigger: You “set” the trigger by pushing it forward. At this point you can release
the fully cocked hammer by applying a light pressure to the trigger.
15
WARNING: AN IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED SET TRIGGER MAY RELEASE THE FULLY COCKED
HAMMER DUE TO A STRONG IMPACT TO THE MECHANISM. PROPERLY ADJUSTED SET TRIGGERS
WILL NOT RELEASE THE COCKED HAMMER WITHOUT PULLING THE FIRING TRIGGER.
READ CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ON HOW TO PROPERLY MAKE TRIGGER ADJUSTMENTS.
WARNING: MAKE CERTAIN THE GUN IS UNLOADED BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
SINGLE SET TRIGGER ADJUSTMENT
Point your firearm in a safe direction, make sure it is unloaded and put the hammer at half cock position.
1. The adjustment screw (#1) is located behind the trigger and controls the tension on the main spring. See
picture 2.
2. Turn screw (#1) in a clockwise direction to reduce the pressure required to release the trigger.
3. When making adjustments on screw (#1) always move the screw in ¼ to ½ turn increments and recheck
your results before making more adjustments.
Adjustment screws should be checked periodically to verify they are not loose due to shot vibrations.
WARNING: THE TRIGGER WILL RELEASE THE HAMMER EVEN IF THE TRIGGER HAS NOT BEEN “SET”.
WARNING: SET TRIGGER SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED FOR LESS THAN 3 LBS TRIGGER
RELEASE PRESURE. IF THE SET TRIGGER IS ADJUSTED FOR A TOO SHORT AND LIGHT RELEASE,
A STRONG IMPACT OR A STRONG VIBRATION MAY CAUSE A FULLY COCKED HAMMER TO FALL AND
FIRE.
WARNING: AFTER YOU ADJUST THE DOUBLE SET TRIGGER OR THE SINGLE SET TRIGGER, AND
BEFORE YOU SHOOT YOUR FIREARM, YOU MUST MAKE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY TESTS:
SET TRIGGER SAFETY TEST
1. Make certain the gun is UNLOADED, without any powder in the chamber and pointed in a safe direction.
2. Place the hammer at half-cock position and cover the nipple with a piece of leather so the hammer will
strike against it and will not ruin the nipple. If you have a flintlock make sure there is a flint on the hammer.
3. Fully cock the hammer, then “set” the trigger as explained above.
4. With the gun pointing upwards, knock the butt sharply, several times, against a wood surface, make sure
you protect the stock in a proper way. Repeat this impact test several times.
5. The hammer must not be released by these strong impacts. If the hammer remains in full cocked position,
your trigger setting is normal and safe.
6. If the hammer does release during this impact test, you must change the adjustment of the front, rear or
both triggers in order to obtain a proper safe setting.
CAUTION: If you allow others to shoot your pistol or rifle, we suggest letting them try the set
triggers before allowing live ammunition to be fired. The light trigger pressure can be a
surprise to many shooters who have not had previous experience with a set trigger system.
The hammer does not have to be cocked to allow this trigger practice. Just “set” the rear
trigger and allow the new shooter to experience the light trigger pull.
WARNING: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE TRIGGER PULL ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM IN
ORDER TO ALTER THE MINIMUM SETTINGS OF THIS OR ANY OTHER FIREARM’S
TRIGGER PULL NEVER ATTEMPT IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY OR ALTER THE SEAR
ENGAGEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRIGGER ASSEMBLY COMPONENT.

BLACK POWDER
WARNING: NEVER USE SMOKELESS POWDER OR A MIXTURE OF SMOKELESS AND
BLACK POWDER (duplex loads) OR THE WRONG TYPE OF GRANULATION OF BLACK
POWDER OR BLACK POWDER SUBSTITUTE IN YOUR “BLACK POWDER ONLY”
FIREARM AS IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR
PEOPLE AROUND YOU.
MUZZLE LOADING FIREARMS, EVEN MODERN REPLICAS, ARE NOT DESIGNED TO
WITHSTAND THE HIGH PRESSURES PRODUCED BY SMOKELESS POWDER.

WARNING: NEVER store percussion caps of Black powder in a plastic container which
could build a static electricity charge.
WARNING: NEVER store percussion caps together with black powder or any other
powder.
I.F.G. specifically disclaim responsibility for any damage, personal injury or death occurring in connection with
or as the result of the use of smokeless powder or any other powder other than black Powder or a black
Powder substitute in any of its “Black Powder Only” firearms.
1. NEVER SMOKE WHILE LOADING, SHOOTING OR HANDLING BLACK POWDER.
2. Never let the hammer on a percussion firearm fall without a cap on the nipple as it will damage the nipple.
On a flintlock gun, never let the hammer fall on the frizzen without a flint in the hammer.
3. BLACK POWDER LEAVES HEAVY RESIDUE that is highly “hygroscopic” (attracts moisture) and will rust your
gun if not promptly cleaned.
4. Use only non-synthetic cloth patches to clean your gun after firing Black Powder.
5. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting a firearm.
6. Never pour powder into the bore directly from a powder flask or container; a sudden powder ignition from a
lingering spark could cause the entire flask to explode. Always use a powder measure to deliver an
individual charge into your muzzle loading gun.
7. T REAT A MISFIRE OR FAILURE TO FIRE WITH EXTREME CARE. Keep the gun pointed on a safe direction and wait
for at least 60 seconds before re-priming; there is always the chance a spark could be smoldering in the
powder and the gun could fire at any moment.
8. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT A BULLET UNLESS IT IS FIRMLY SEATED AGAINST THE BLACK POWDER CHARGE. Any
empty space between the bullet and/or wad and the black powder charge could cause serious damage to
the firearm and injury to the shooter or those around him.
9. If powder fouling or other circumstances should cause the projectile to become lodged in the bore, partially
down the barrel, the ball must be removed with a screw tip style bullet-puller of the proper caliber.
10. Before you start loading, always make sure the gun is not already loaded. We suggest you insert your
17
loading rod into the empty barrel and make a mark at muzzle level. This is your “empty” or “Unloaded” line.
11. Insert the rod again after loading your rifle and make another mark at muzzle level.
This is your “loaded” line.
WARNING: WATER RENDERS BLACK POWDER ONLY TEMPORARILY INERT, ONCE THE BLACK POWDER
DRIES OUT IT BECOMES AN EXPLOSIVE AGAIN.
MAKE WITNESS MARKS IN YOUR RAMROD
Making “witness” marks in your ramrod will help you avoid double charging your rifle or not seating the ball
firmly against the powder charge.
1. With your firearm UNLOADED insert the ramrod into the muzzle and make a mark at muzzle level. This is
your “Empty” or “Unloaded” line. See picture 3.
2. Insert the rod again after loading your rifle and make another mark at muzzle level. This is your “Loaded”
line. See picture 4

The black powder loads listed in the chart “Powder Load” are referred to the most proper loads for the target shooting and have been elaborated using Swiss black powder (in the different
granulations, according to the gun’s type). Please check for other black powder brands and different types, we reported some of them at the page 7 of this manual.
WARNING: We recommend not to exceed the loads suggested in the chart “Maximum powder load”

MANUFACTURER’S WARNING
This firearm was manufactured to properly perform with the original parts as designed. It is your duty to make
sure any parts you buy are correctly installed and that neither replacements nor originals are altered or
changed. Your gun is a complex tool with many parts that must relate correctly to other parts for safe and
accurate operation. Putting a gun together wrong or with modified parts can result in a damaged gun, or
personal injury or death to you or others. Always let a qualified gunsmith work on your gun or at least, check
any work not performed by a gunsmith. Firearms safety is your primary concern. THE GUN OWNER MUST
ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CORRECT REASSEMBLY AND FUNCTIONING OF THE
FIREARM AFTER ANY DISASSEMBLY OR REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.
TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN YOUR RIFLE
A) Follow procedures for unloading rifle as described previously.
B) Follow procedures for disassembly of rifle as described previously.
C) Materials needed to clean this rifle are: a cleaning rod, cotton bore patches, brass bore brush, black powder
solvent, a small soft brush and good quality gun oil.
WARNING: Lead or lead compounds are known to cause cancer, birth defects, reproductive toxicity, and other
serious physical injury. Those who clean firearms should take protective measures to avoid contact or
exposure to such chemicals.
D) Using the bore brush with black powder solvent, scrub the interior of the barrel and chambers to remove
any black powder and lead residue in the bore. Always and lastly, swab the interior of the barrels with cotton
patch with gun oil to coat and protect the bore and chambers from rust and corrosion
E) Any black powder fouling on the firing wall, barrel, etc. can be easily cleaned with a brush and black powder
solvent.
F) All external surfaces should be wiped down with a light coat of rust preventative. Avoid using too much oil as
powder, dust or other foreign material may get trapped in the oil. This could lead to congealed deposits which
may interfere with the safe and reliable operation of the rifle.
G) USE CAUTION while using solvents in gun bore cleaning. Prolonged or excess contact with solvents can
damage the gun’s bluing and finish. Be sure to wipe away all excess solvent and then lubricate with oil.
H) A black powder firearm should be cleaned immediately after firing. In addition, external parts should be
wiped with an oiled cloth after handling. A light oil is ordinarily all that is necessary in cleaning if the gun has
not been fired. If a gun is used frequently, it must be cleaned after each firing and regularly serviced by a
professional gunsmith. If the gun has been stored, remove all excess oil and/or grease before firing. Always
check to be sure that no cleaning patch or other obstruction remains in the bore or chambers before firing.
DANGER - AMMUNITION WARNING
Firearms may be damaged and serious personal injury or death to the shooter or bystanders may result from
any condition which contributes to the generation of excessive pressure or uncontrolled release of gas within
the firearm. Such adverse conditions can be caused by bore or chamber obstruction, propellant overloads or
by using smokeless powder in a black powder only firearm. It is extremely dangerous to use smokeless
powder in a black powder only firearm; the pressure generated is much greater than what even the strongest
replicas can withstand.
AMMUNITION (CARTRIDGES) NOTICE
We specifically disclaim responsibility for any damage, personal injury or death occurring in connection with or
as the result of the use of Pedersoli rifles with faulty, non standard black powder, or with smokeless powder.
LUBRICATION WARNING
Firing a rifle with oil, grease or any other material even partially obstructing the bore may result in damage to
the rifle and personal injury to the shooter and those nearby. Do not spray or apply lubricants directly on black
powder or percussion caps. If the primer or black powder charge is affected by the lubricant, they may not fully
ignite yet the energy generated by primer and/or black powder may be sufficient to push the projectile or wad
into the bore where it may become lodged. Firing a subsequent load into the obstructed bore will damage the
rifle and may cause personal injury to the shooter and those nearby. Use lubricants properly. You are
responsible for the proper care and maintenance of your firearm and ammunition.
