5B) When the trigger is pulled, the hammer will move forward and down across the face of the
frizzen. The flint edge, striking the frizzen, will produce sparks. The sparks, upon regniting
the priming, will cause flashes that travelling through the touch hole will ignite the main
charge. ( picture #23 )
ATTENTION : both flint and frizzen must be completely dry.

6B) After firing slide the ramrod into the empty bore and wait for one full minute before
loading the next powder charge; this will allow any remaining sparks in the barrel to burn
out.
7B) If a misfire or a failure to fire should occur, keep the muzzle-loader pointed in a safe
direction and wait for at least one minute, then reprime and use a nipple pick to force a small
amount of the priming powder charge into the touch hole and then fire again.
If after some attempts the gun does not fire, UNLOAD IT, using the proper caliber bullet puller
(item USA 545). MAKE SURE THE HAMMER IS IN A SAFETY POSITION.
Using a small eye dropper or medicine dropper filled with water, forceably inject the water
into the breech plug ( picture #24 )

. Water will cause the black powder to become inactive. After you have done this 3-5 times,
wait at least 30 minutes for the black powder, to become completely saturated with water.
Further screw the bullet puller to the ramrod, insert it into the barrel to catch the bullet;
rotating the ramrod will ease the bullet pulling (picture #25) You can now remove the powder.
