WARNING – MALFUNCTIONS➞If the bolt hangs up, jams, or binds whenbeing closed, do not attempt to force itforward by pushing or striking the bolthandle.Most failures to close are caused by impropercapping of the nipple, a dirty receiver, capfragments, or a breech plug not properlyscrewed fully into the barrel.Whatever the cause, the gun user must,above all, recognize that jams can result inthe very potentially dangerous situation of apercussion cap discharging the powdercharge before the bolt is closed. If thisoccurs, cap fragments and hot gasses will flyout of the gun with sufficient force to causeinjury. Always wear shooting glasses andhearing protectors!STRIKING PERCUSSION CAPWILL FIRE THE RIFLETO CLEAR A MALFUNCTION (“JAM”)If the rifle becomes difficult to operate, this can usually be traced to three basiccauses (followed by the appropriate corrective action):1. Accumulated black powder fouling (cease firing & clean gun).2. Percussion cap fragments inside receiver (carefully remove).3. Percussion caps not fully seated on nipples (carefully reseat). Be sure you areusing the correct size cap (#11).If it becomes necessary to disassemble the rifle to clear a jam, be sure to unloadit first. Never work on any gun with a percussion cap on the nipple!35
