ASSEMBLY
To install breech plug, touch hole liner, tang, trigger assembly and
barrel.
Breech Plug:
If you haven’t lubricated your breech plug threads yet do so now.
Follow the directions above in the Breech plug section.
Screw the breech plug into the barrel and tighten with the supplied
allen key.
Make sure that the plug is hand tightened and the alignment marks
both line up with one another. These marks make sure that the flash
hole is properly aligned.
You can visually inspect the hole to check and see that the holes are
lined up.
Touch Hole Liner:
Screw the touch hole liner in the side of the barrel where removed with
a flat-head screwdriver. Hand tighten.
Tang & Trigger Assembly
:
If you haven’t removed these parts, then skip to the Barrel section
below.
• Place trigger in stock cut-out with trigger facing correct way.
• Place tang into stock cut-out and insert screw. Use a flat-
head screwdriver to tighten. Hand tighten.
Barrel:
Double check to make sure all parts are tight before installing. Make
sure ramrod retaining spring is in proper place before installing barrel
into stock. The ramrod retaining spring should hang off behind the
front lock plate screw with the open end of the “U” up, facing towards
the rear of the stock.
• Insert barrel at the same angle as you disassembled it. Twist back
and forth as you are inserting it into the tang.
NOTE: A RUBBER MALLET MAY BE USEFUL TO
FULLY SEAT THE BARREL INTO THE TANG.

CLEAN & LUBRICATE PARTS:
Stock:
• Clean off debris inside stock channel with a clean cloth. Take care
not to loose any parts inside stock. Check ramrod retaining spring
for proper positioning. The ramrod retaining spring is held in place
by the front lock plate screw.
Breech Plug:
NOTE: IF THE GUN IS BRAND NEW OUT OF THE
BOX, YOU SHOULD STILL CLEAN THE BREECH
PLUG AND THE BARREL TO REMOVE ANY
MANUFACTURING OILS, GREASE OR DEBRIS.
Clean the breech plug with hot soapy water and a nylon brush. Take
care to clean out the ignition and fire channel from fouling or debris. A
pipe cleaner or small bottle brush can be used to clean and dry the
smaller areas in the breech plug. Make sure breech plug is completely
dry before lubing.
Lubricate the threads of the breech plug with Traditions Wonderlube
1000 Plus or Traditions breech plug and nipple grease. Make sure not to
put lube in the ignition hole in the breech plug.
Barrel:
Clean the barrel with hot soapy water, Traditions Wonderlube 1000
Plus Cleaning solvent, Traditions Easy Clean Spray or Traditions
Wonderlube Pre-Soaked Cleaning patches.
Align cleaning jag over top of a soaked patch and run down and up
the bore several times to loosen and remove fouling. You may need to
use several patches until bore becomes clean.
For tough to clean areas use a Tradition’s nylon or brass bristle
cleaning brush attached to the ramrod to loosen up the fouling and then
repeat procedure until clean.
Use your ramrod supplied with the gun or a Traditions Range rod
with a Tradition’s Cleaning jag attached to the end and run clean
patches through until inside of barrel is dry.
Completely dry exterior of barrel with clean cloth. Lightly oil the
outside of the barrel.
