appropriate flask pour the fine powder 4F type into the muzzle of lock plate and the
close the frizzen.

 After every shot before start a new loading wait a few moments so eventual powder
residual in the barrel can definitely extinguish.
 Before start a new loading it’s adiveable to put the rod into the barrel so you can check
the barrel is completely free of obstruction.
 ALWAYS pay attention to keep away from your body the muzzle of the gun during
powder introduction.
“STECHER” System:
Some of our firearms have a particular shooting system called “STECHER”.
This can be DOUBLE trigger or SINGLE trigger.
First, cock the back trigger that sets a spring, for the “single trigger stecher” the cock is pushing
forward the trigger, in this way you charge a spring that will click with light pressure when
you’ll decide to pull the trigger.
In both versions there is a screw that allows to adjust the trigger pull.
Always adjust this screw with the gun unloaded.
Disassembling and cleaning :
Military Rifle:
a. Remove the rod.
b. Remove the bands that wrap the stock and the barrel. There are two style bands, with and
without screw. For the screw style, unscrew the screw; for the bands without screw push
the spring so the band can pass over.
c. Unscrew and remove the tang screw.
