 WARNING: all adjustments of double set trigger MUST BE DONE with the gun unloaded. NEVER load the
gun with double set trigger armed and cocked hammer.
Extraction:
 Immediately after cartridge explosion, place the hammer in half cock and open the breech block.
 When the block is falling, the extractor placed on the block will be rotating and extract the shell from
cartridge chamber.
 Should the extraction not be fully accomplished, especially by longer shells, it is necessary to complete
the operation manually.
 Attention: if cartridge chamber or receiver are not clean enough, it could happen that the extractor gets
stuck once the shell is extracted (block down, lever open). This will not allow the lever to move and
breech block to lift. In this case, move the extractor manually to disangage it. Remember to clean the
gun carefully.
Identifying markings:
Every gun we produce has a serial number that is marked on the barrel. Close to the serial number you will
also find National Proof House markings. On the barrel there is also marked our company name, gun caliber,
Made in Italy and - when appropriate - Black Powder Only.
These markings must not be removed from the firearm for any
reason.
