WARNING:

EXPERIENCED SHOOTERS AND ARE INTENDED FOR MATCH
COMPETITION OR TARGET RANGE USE. MISUSE OR CARELESS USE MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MAY BE DANGEROUS WITHIN 209 YARDS (191 METERS).

THIS IS A SPECIAL CLASS OF NON-POWDERED GUN AND NOT FOR GENERAL USE.
IT IS TO BE USED FOR TRAINING AND TARGET SHOOTING UNDER SUPERVISION.

Competition Pellet Pistol

RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY THOSE 16 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER. THIS GUN SHOOTS
PELLETS ONLY. THE PURCHASER AND USER SHOULD CONFORM TO ALL LAWS
GOVERNING THE USE AND OWNERSHIP OF AIRGUNS.

WARNING:

THIS GUN CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. DO NOT LOAD A PELLET INTO THE
GUN UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT. IF YOU DO LOAD A PELLET AND THEN
DECIDE NOT TO SHOOT, REMOVE IT EITHER MANUALLY OR BY SHOOTING THE
GUN AT A SAFE TARGET. AN UNLOADED, UNCOCKED GUN IS SAFEST.
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN FAST, AND ACCIDENTALLY INJURING OR KILLING SOMEONE
IS A TERRIBLE THING. PLEASE SHOOT SAFELY.

This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When
you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of personal injury and carefully read the
message that follows.
The Avanti 747 Triumph Competition Air Pistol shoots with much more muzzle
energy than most BB and pellet guns. Use extreme caution when operating this gun.
Although your new Competition Air Pistol is not a firearm, it has lethal potential and
should be treated with the caution and respect due any conventional firearm. Always
remember, the first and most important safety feature of any gun is the shooter. Think
ahead and avoid situations that might lead to accidents.
Guns differ in their operation, and you are never ready to fire any gun until you are
thoroughly familiar with it. Read the following operating instructions and WITHOUT
LOADING ANY PELLETS, proceed through the operating steps, dry firing your gun
several times at a safe target. This will enable you to learn to operate this Competition
Air Pistol properly and safely.

Step 1. Put “ON SAFE”

Push trigger safety from left to right until no red is showing. In this position, the pistol in
proper working condition cannot be fired by pulling the trigger.

Step 2. OPEN BOLT

Lift up and pull straight back on the bolt
handle. The gun cannot fire with the bolt
open. NOTE: BOLT MUST BE OPEN TO

again or open pump lever as the lever
is under pressure and could fly open,
possibly causing injury.

Trigger finger should be extended
against the right side of the gun to

WARNING: If a pellet does not fire after

completing the operating steps, the gun is
jammed. This is a dangerous condition. Open the bolt at once, then repeat all operations
except step 4 (DO NOT LOAD A PELLET).

IF A PELLET STILL DOES NOT FIRE, FOLLOW THESE STEPS CAREFULLY:

Step 1. Open bolt.
Step 2. Put trigger safety “ON SAFE”
Step 3. Clear the barrel by running a size .177 cleaning rod through the barrel from
the muzzle end. Be careful not to damage the bolt tip by pushing the rod
through too hard.
Step 4. Repeat the operating steps. Make sure a pellet is fed into the firing
position. If after following the firing procedure the pellet is not fired, return
your gun to the Avanti Service Department. (See “REPAIR OF GUN” section).

UNLOAD PELLETS

The bolt does not extract a pellet. Point the gun in a safe direction and fire, or open the
bolt and insert a .177 cleaning rod in the muzzle end of the barrel and push the pellet out.

REAR SIGHT ADJUSTMENT

ELEVATION: (Fig. 5) (Up or down) To move
the point of impact up, raise the sight by turning
the elevation screw “A” counterclockwise. To
lower the point of impact, lower the sight by
turning the elevation screw “A” clockwise. At a
range of 10 meters, one click will move the point
of impact .077 inch.

WINDAGE: (Fig. 5) (Right or left) To move the
point of impact left, move the sight left by turning
screw “B” counterclockwise. To move the sight
to the right, turn screw “B” clockwise. At a range
of 10 meters, one click will move the point of
impact .054 inch.

PUMP LEVER ADJUSTMENT

IMPORTANT: After 500 shots, and every 1,000 shots thereafter, the length of the pump
lever stroke may need adjustment in order to maintain maximum performance. To check
and make the needed adjustments, follow these steps:
Step 1. After firing the gun, open the pump lever and close to the point where a slight
resistance can be felt and stop.
Step 2. Measure the distance between the receiver and end of the pump lever as shown
in Figure 7. This dimension should be between 1 1/8 and 1 1/2 inches. If the
clearance dimension on your gun is within this range, no adjustment is required.
If the clearance dimension is not within this range, proceed to Step 3.
Step 3. With the pump lever in the fully open position, place a screwdriver with a large
blade between slots in the threaded portion of the pump. (Fig. 8) To increase the
pump lever clearance, rotate the screwdriver clockwise. To decrease the pump
lever clearance, rotate the screwdriver counterclockwise.
NOTE: Adjusting the pump lever to a clearance dimension larger than 1 1/2 inches
will overstress the gun and will result in permanent damage to the gun. Maximum
performance will be achieved by adjusting the clearance as specified in Step 2.

PROPER CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To maintain top shooting performance, lightly oil the three pump lever hinges and pump
oil wiper on the pump rod every 1,000 shots (Fig. 9). Excessive oil on the wiper will affect
accuracy. When a finger is pressed against the wiper, only a light trace of oil should be
deposited on the finger. Excess oil on the wiper will migrate into the pump system and
can affect accuracy from heavy oil deposits in the barrel. Use only a 20-weight non­detergent automotive motor oil. Other type oils may ruin the seals. The exterior is
cleaned by wiping with a soft, clean cloth. The screws and rear sight should be wiped
with oil to prevent rust.

FIG. 9

HINGES

OIL WIPER

BARREL:

The barrel must be clean and dry to attain maximum accuracy. Run clean, dry patches
through the barrel until all foreign material is removed. It may be necessary to clean the
barrel approximately every 50 shots to achieve maximum accuracy. Frequent cleaning
may be necessary when the gun is new until all excess oil is removed from the pump
system. If the gun is to be stored for a period of time, a light coat of oil in the barrel will
help prevent corrosion.

AMMUNITION

Avanti Competition Pellets are recommended for use in the Triumph 747. These pellets
are uniform in size with minimal weight variations. The flat wad-cutting designed head
will punch a clean hole to provide for easier and more accurate scoring. The design of
the Avanti Competition Pellet is engineered to produce maximum accuracy in all
competition air rifles or pistols.

GRIPS

Left hand grips are available for your Triumph 747 Competition Air Pistol by contacting
customer service at 1-800-713-2479. Ask for Item number 5822.

STORAGE

NEVER STORE A LOADED OR COCKED GUN. Shoot the gun at a safe target to make
sure the pump system and barrel are empty. Place the trigger safety in the “ON SAFE”
position. Keep the gun away from children and untrained shooters. Store pellets
separately from the gun to keep them from untrained shooters. Protect your Triumph 747
from moisture and dirt; clean and lightly oil the gun to prevent corrosion and wrap it in a
smooth, dry cloth, or store the gun in the package it came in when new.
