INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING

THE RIFLE KIT

THESE INSTRUCTIONS SHEETS ARE ONLY A GENERAL GUIDE. PLEASE CHECK THE CORRECT PART

NUMBER OF YOUR GUN ON SPECIFIC SPARE PARTS LIST .

Our compliments on your choice! A scrupulous selection of the materials and the accurate working

techniques make your new gun a product, which is synonymous of prestige and quality.

The kit that you are going to finish has been pre-assembled; all the metal parts have fit to the

stock and you have only to polish and finish them.

If it is not so, you may proceed paying attention to our instructions.

Reminding that the most feared enemy of the “do it yourself” is hurried work, we wish you good

luck … enjoy it.

These brief notes want to be an explicative guide to enable you to finish work a kit of any kind of

our models.

Following you will find some examples featuring various building solutions.

See figures and exploded view at pages 3a, 4a, 5a, 6a, 7a, 8a of this booklet.

1) (See fig.1) - Start by installing the barrel into the barrel channel of the pre-carved stock.

Carefully remove any excess wood beneath and around the barrel tang. File the tang down

until it is flush with the stock wrist. File from metal to wood, not the reverse. This prevents

chipping or splintering of the wood.

2) INSTALLATION OF TRIGGER (See fig. 4) - With barrel installed in stock (use a clamp or heavy

rubber band to keep barrel from falling out), install tang screw (11) through tang and stock.

This will line up trigger plate. (part. # 23) As with the tang, install trigger plate flush with stock

surface. Next install trigger (part. # 24), using trigger pin (part. # 25), to trigger plate. Install

into stock, removing the wood as necessary to allow the trigger to move freely. If kit has set

triggers (fig. 12), follow the same procedure as with the trigger, fitting one piece at a time.

The trigger assembly is held to the stock by the tang screw and a small wood screw at the

rear of the trigger plate.

3) INSTALLATION OF LOCK AND SIDE PLATE (See figs. 2, 6, 9) - Disassemble lock. Stock is pre-

inletted for the lock. The location of the lock is determined by the hammer (part. # 40) to the

nipple (part. # 14) / fig. 9, and the sear (part. # 38) to the trigger (part. # 24) / fig. 2. Install

lock plate into recess removing only what wood is necessary to make lock surface flush with

stock. (In the case of a flintlock, the plate must be fitted tight against and in contact with the

barrel flat). Using fig. 6, install lock mounting screws (part. # 10) through side plate (part. #

9), through pre-drilled holes in stock and screw them into the pre-tapped holes in the lock

plate. Install side plate (part. # 9) into stock. As with trigger assembly, install lock parts to

lock plate and fit to stock one part at a time. Remove wood necessary to allow full and free

movement of parts.

4) FOR FLINTLOCK (See fig. 9a) - Install touch hole liner (part. # 16A) into the pre-threaded hole

in the side of the barrel. The liner should be flush with the surface of the barrel flat.

FOR PERCUSSION (See fig. 9) - Install the drum (part. # 16) into the pre-threaded hole in the

side of the barrel. The drum should fit so that nipple (part. # 14) will align with hammer nose

(part. # 40a). If it does not, file the drum shoulder a little at a time to obtain the proper fit. GO

SLOWLY SO AS NOT TO STRIP THE THREADS WHEN TIGHTENING THE DRUM TO THE BARREL.
