3. To replace the trigger:
a. Rotate safety to “fire” position.
b. Place the trigger/sear spring over the dimple in the trigger.
c. Assemble the trigger while aligning the spring with the dimple on the
sear.
d. While holding the trigger in position, replace the trigger pivot pin.
4. To replace the breech plug:
a. Lubricate the breech plug/nipple
assembly threads thoroughly with a
good quality black powder gun grease.
(See Figure 27) Do not lubricate the
back or nipple portions of the breech
plug. Failure to lubricate it will make
this part extremely difficult to remove.
b. Using the supplied breech plug wrench, insert and tighten the breech
plug/nipple assembly into the threaded rear end of the barrel.
(See Figure 28) Do not over-tighten -- firmly snug will do. It will tighten
during firing.
