Owner’s Manual – MUZZLE LOADING FIREARMS CHIAPPA FIREARMS Chiappa Firearms can boast a glorious history: the founder Ezechiele Chiappa founded Armi Sport in 1958, and was among the pioneers who gave birth to the replica firearms world. New production methods, machining, finishing and assembly procedures were created from scratch; each component was invented for implementation in an artisanal production.

Owner’s Manual – MUZZLE LOADING FIREARMS The fundamentals of safe gun handling are: 1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances. 2.
PAGE 6
Owner’s Manual – MUZZLE LOADING FIREARMS 1. Read the instructions carefully before use. 2. Be aware that you are handling a firearm; therefore your knowledge and behaviour may affect your life and those of the people close to you. 3. Reading the manual and a careful examination of the gun are fundamental to avoid any kind of problem. 4. Guns and ammunitions must be kept in different places 5. ALWAYS keep guns and ammunitions out of reach of children. 6.

Owner’s Manual – MUZZLE LOADING FIREARMS Instructions for muzzle loading firearms use Precaution:              ONLY USE BLACK POWDER OR APPROPRIATE BLACK POWDER SUBSTITUTE On our firearms on the barrel it is clearly marked “BLACK POWDER ONLY”. Do not use powder different than BLACK POWDER OR APPROPRIATE BLACK POWDER SUBSTITUTE Pay attention to keep the powder away from fire or heating sources and don’t use boxes that can produce an electrostatic charge.
PAGE 13
Owner’s Manual – MUZZLE LOADING FIREARMS           After loading the powder hit with your hand on the side of the firearm close to the lock, so you can perfectly adjust the powder at the base of the nipple. Place the bullet on the barrel’s muzzle. If you use a round bullet use an oiled patch; place the patch first and then the round bullet and push them inside the barrel by a wood hammer, then keep pushing in the bullet until it reaches the base of the barrel using the appropriate rod.
PAGE 14
Owner’s Manual – MUZZLE LOADING FIREARMS      Now, after keeping firearm in shooting direction, you can open the frizzen, and using an appropriate flask pour the fine powder 4F type into the muzzle of lock plate and the close the frizzen.

PAGE 17
Owner’s Manual – MUZZLE LOADING FIREARMS Rear sight and front sight adjustment: Most of our firearms are of original Military Rifle design without an accurate sight system or sights with minimal adjustment. In order to have maximum performance, it may be necessary to establish the preferred load which you will be shooting and make any necessary sight adjustments after that load is determined.
PAGE 18
Owner’s Manual – MUZZLE LOADING FIREARMS        To prevent unnecessary maintenance, use proper care in cleaning after each use. Usually the dealer that sell you the firearm would be able to advise you regarding the best lubricating oil to use. Avoid excessive oil residue. Don’t use pure silicone or lanoline. After long periods of inactivity of your rifle, it’s adviseable to completely disassemble and inspect it or give it to an authorized gunsmith for inspection.
