until you are a safe distance away from the vehicle, road and companions.
Never prime the firearm until you are actually ready to fire.
9 The T/C System 1
™
is a modern "striker action" cap lock rifle, and
does not have the half-cock notch that traditional cap locks have. There
are two striker handle positions for the System 1; they are; “Cocked” and
“Fired”.
In the “Cocked” position, the striker is held rearward by the trigger
sear which is in turn blocked by the manual thumb safety. In the “Fired” posi-
tion, the striker will be at rest against the nipple - once the thumb safety is
pushed fully forward and the trigger is pulled to the rear.
WARNING: The
System 1 should be carried with the striker handle in the “Cocked” posi-
tion, with no cap on the nipple. The thumb safety should be moved to the
“Fire” position only after a percussion cap has been installed and you are
ready to fire. Failure to follow this rule may cause serious injury and/or
death to the shooter or bystanders and damage to property.
A sharp or heavy blow to the external striker handle can fracture parts
and cause a malfunction or discharge of the firearm. AN ACCIDENTAL
DISCHARGE MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE
SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
