Type Of Ammunition To Be Used:

It is suggested that high quality commercially manufactured ammunition be
used in this firearm. Some factory ammunition works better than others and
you should stick with the brand you find works well in your Double Rifle. Avoid
military surplus or hot loaded ammo. The use of reloaded, high pressure or
hand loaded ammunition will void the warranty.

N O T I C E

DOUBLE RIFLES ARE CLASSIFIED AS FIREARMS OR DANGEROUS
WEAPONS and are sold by European American Armory Corporation with the
specific understanding that we are not responsible in any manner what-so-ever
for their safe handling or resale under local laws and regulations.

European American Armory shall not be responsible in any manner
whatsoever for malfunctioning of the firearm, for physical injury or for property
damage resulting in whole or in part from (1) intentional or negligent discharge,
(2) improper or careless handling, (3) unauthorized modifications and/or
alteration to the internal/safety mechanisms, (4) defective, improper, high
pressure, hand-loaded, or reloaded ammunition, (5) corrosion and/or lack of
proper maintenance (6) neglect, or (7) other influences beyond our direct and
immediate control. This limitation applies regardless of whether liability is
asserted on the basis of contract, negligence or strict liability (including any
failure to warn). Under no circumstance shall European American Armory
Corporation be liable for incidental or consequential damages, such as loss of
use of property, commercial loss and loss of earnings or profits.

Safety Procedures:

1. We recommend that you get competent firearms instruction in safe handling
before using this firearm. Please ask your dealer. All guns are extremely
dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the firearm user is the
primary “safety” and to depend on any mechanical devices is to be only half
safe.

2. This firearm will fire if a cartridge is in a chamber and the trigger is pulled and
the safety is disengaged.

3. DO NOT LOAD THIS DOUBLE RIFLE UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THIS
DOUBLE RIFLE OPERATES. KEEP this Double Rifle unloaded at all times
except when ready to fire and you are sure of your target.

4. ALWAYS carry this Double Rifle in a case or original box unloaded.

5. NEVER point this Double Rifle at anything that is not your intended target
even if this Double Rifle is unloaded. When loading, cleaning, unloading or
handling, always be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and always
keep your finger off the trigger.

6. NEVER assume any gun is unloaded. Before handling, check to make sure
the chamber is empty. See unloading Instructions and then unload any

4

ammunition. Make sure you know that this or any firearm is fully unloaded before
displaying or handling it. When handling any firearm, keep your fingers away
from the trigger at all times until you intend to fire.

7. WARNING: The actual firearm does not contain any lead; however, it does
fire ammunition containing lead or lead compounds known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects, reproductive toxicity, and other
serious physical injury. Those who discharge a firearm, stand near someone
who discharges a firearm or cleans firearms are hereby warned of the dangers
presented by lead and lead compounds and should take protective health
measures. Avoid exposure to lead while handling and wash your hands after
contact. Proper air ventilation is absolutely necessary when shooting indoors.

A M M U N I T I O N W A R N I N G

Old, Hot-loaded and/or re-loaded ammunition may be dangerous. Because of
the poor or nonexistent quality control standards among some companies or
people who make reloaded ammunition and the dangers of overloads and
under loads (squib loads) which may occur, we recommend that only good
quality new factory ammunition be fired in our firearms. [If you prepare your
own hand loads, do NOT exceed recommended pressures in line with those
generated by standard factory loads as manufactured by Remington,
Winchester, Federal, PMC or other reputable companies.] Old ammunition
may not fire with sufficient force to expel the projectile from the barrel.

READING THESE SAFETY RULES WILL SAVE

YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Get instructions from a competent firearms instructor before using this or any
firearm. Learn from a professional how to handle, load, unload, operate, fire
and care for your gun.

NEVER PLAY with your firearm. It is not a toy and can be a very dangerous
weapon that can cause serious personal injury or death.

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Treat every gun as if it is
loaded...all the time. NEVER point any firearm (loaded or unloaded) at any
person or anything you do not intend to shoot. Always keep your gun unloaded
until ready to use and make sure that it is unloaded before cleaning.

Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target and
ready to shoot. Learn to rest your finger outside of the trigger guard.

Never rely on a gun’s “safety” to protect you from unsafe gun handling. A safety
is only a mechanical device, not a substitute for common sense and gun safety
procedures.

Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall and fire.

READING THESE SAFETY RULES WILL SAVE

YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Store guns and ammunition separately beyond the reach of children. Make sure
that they are properly secured so untrained individuals and children will be denied
access to your guns and ammo.

Test your gun’s operation and safeties only at a shooting range while the
firearm is pointed in a safe direction.

Know your target and what is beyond. Ask yourself what your bullet will hit if it
misses the target or passes through the intended target. Remember, a fired
projectile can travel over a mile (including a ricochet) and is capable of going
through walls.

Guns and alcohol or drugs do not mix. Don’t take any alcoholic beverages and/
or drugs before or during shooting activities.

Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch or
fence with a loaded gun.

Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat, RV, camp or any
building.

When receiving a gun, always open the action and check to make sure the
chamber is unloaded.

NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or “empty”. You should
immediately open the action and check to make sure it is unloaded.

Be careful with ALL ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are deadly at close
range due to the muzzle blast. Make sure your ammunition is in new and in
good clean condition. Do NOT oil or grease ammo as this may damage the
cartridge primer. Do NOT tamper with or alter the standard factory ammunition.

Keep firearms unloaded when not actually in use. Load the gun only when on
the range preparing to fire and unload it before leaving the range.

Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.
ALWAYS WEAR protective shooting glasses and hearing protection when

using firearms.
Spectators should be at least 10 feet behind and away from the shooter while

the shooter is loading, shooting and unloading. Spectators should wear
protection for hearing and sight loss and they should avoid distracting those
shooting their firearms.

Never drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check it for proper function
before using it again.

Do NOT alter or modify your gun. Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger pull,
because it may affect sear engagement and thereby cause accidental firing.

Do NOT remove any internal safety or safety device on the firearm. Safety
mechanisms are designed to protect you from injury or death.
