Sabots
WARNING: WHEN LOADING T/C’S BREAK-O-WAY
SABOTS, MAKE SURE THAT YOUR GUN IS
UNPRIMED, AND THAT YOUR BREAK-O-WAY SABOT
HAS BEEN PROPERLY ASSEMBLED. FAILURE TO ASSEM-
BLE AND LOAD YOUR SABOT CORRECTLY COULD RESULT
IN THE BULLET, SABOT HALVES, OR WOVEN WOOL DOUGH-
NUT SEPARATING AND DISENGAGING FROM THEMSELVES.
THIS COULD RESULT IN AN AIR SPACE BETWEEN THE
LOAD COMPONENTS. UNDER SUCH A CONDITION, ONE OR
MORE OF THE COMPONENTS MAY ACT AS A BARREL OB-
STRUCTION AND FIRING CAN RESULT IN A DAMAGED FIRE-
ARM AND POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER
OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
To assemble your T/C Break-O-Way Sabot, position two sabot
halves together forming a complete sabot cup. Press the woven
wool “doughnut” firmly on the base, allowing the flange to protrude
through the hole (Fig 14). The sabot is now ready to accept a .429"-
.430" diameter .44 cal bullet. Use only bullets of these dimensions.
WARNING: USE ONLY BULLETS MEASURING .429" -
.430" DESIGNED FOR USE IN .44 CALIBER PISTOLS
OR RIFLES. USING BULLETS OF LESSER DIAMETER
MAY CAUSE THE BULLET TO SEPARATE FROM THE
SABOT RESULTING IN A BARREL OBSTRUCTION. USING
BULLETS OF LARGER DIAMETER COULD RESULT IN DIF-
FICULT LOADING, OR A CONDITION WHERE THE SABOT IS
NOT SEATED ALL THE WAY DOWN IN THE POWDER
CHARGE, RESULTING IN A BARREL OBSTRUCTION.
EITHER CASE CAN RESULT IN A DAMAGED FIREARM AND
POSSIBLE INJUR
Y AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR
BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
