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. 4 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. 8 BASIC PARTS OF A FLINTLOCK MUZZLE LOADING GUN 9 BASIC PARTS OF A PERCUSSION MUZZLE LOADING GUN 10 BASIC PARTS OF A PERCUSSION MUZZLE LOADING GUN 11 BASIC PARTS OF A PERCUSSION MUZZLE LOADING GUN 12 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. 16 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. Black Powder grain size determines the burn rate; manufacturers classify black powder by grain size, below is a chart of the most popular brands in the USA and how they compare to each other. Big caliber guns Small caliber cannons 4 Fg RS .45 caliber and larger caliber rifles 3 FFg RS Revolver, Pistol Rifles up to .45 cal. 2 FFFg P Pistol up to .31 cal. Flintlock priming pans 1 FFFFg 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 Picture 3 Picture 4 18 LOADING, UNLOADING AND SHOOTING YOUR MUZZLE LOADER FIREARMS LOADING YOUR SINGLE BARREL PERCUSSION RIFLE WARNING: NEVER LOAD OR UNLOAD THIS FIREARM WITH THE HAMMER FULLY COCKED, ALWAYS PUT THE HAMMER AT HALF-COCK. NEVER LOAD THE RIFLE UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT SAFELY. 1. Always point the muzzle downrange in a safe direction BEFORE attempting to load and fire the rifle. 2. Always put the hammer at half-cock position (first click when pulling the hammer backward) before loading and after firing your rifle. See picture 5. 3. Do not load the rifle until you are ready to shoot. Picture 5 4. Before you load the rifle clean and dry the barrel and make sure it is free of obstructions. 5. After cleaning the barrel, point your gun in a safe direction and place a percussion cap on the nipple. See picture 6 Picture 6 6. Set the hammer to full cock and fire. See picture 7. This operation will dry out any oil remaining in the nipple channel. Place the hammer at half cock position. Picture 7 7. With the muzzle pointed up and well away from your face and body measure one charge of powder and pour the powder down the barrel. See picture 8 Picture 8 WARNING: NEVER pour powder directly from the powder container into the barrel; always use powder measurer to drop an individual powder charge. 19 WARNING: Use only the type of black powder recommended for your firearm never overload your firearm; always follow the powder charge recommended for your specific firearm and caliber. 8. Slap the side of the barrel a couple times to make sure the powder has settle at the bottom of the barrel. See picture 9 Picture 9 9. Lay a well lubrificated round patch over the muzzle of your rifle and put a round ball of the proper caliber on top of it. Make sure the ball is well centered over the patch. See picture 10 Picture 10 10. Use a bullet starter to push the ball into the first few inches of the muzzle. See picture 11 11. Use the ramrod to push the bullet down the barrel until it rests firmly over the powder charge. Picture 11 WARNING: 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. FIRING YOUR SINGLE BARREL PERCUSSION RIFLE 1. Load your rifle as previously instructed in this manual. 2. With the barrel pointed safely downrange, place the hammer at the half cock position. 3. Carefully place a musket cap on the nipple. See picture 12. Picture 12 20 4. Fully cock the hammer. See picture 13. 5. With the rifle pointed at your target, slowly pull the trigger and your rifle will fire. 6.

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” 56 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. 57 WARRANTY This I.F.G. firearm is warranted to the original retail customer for Life from date of purchase against defects in material and workmanship.
