Installation Instructions for the
Cowboy .45 Special Carrier

Remove the existing carrier from your rifle and replace it with
your new Adirondack Jack Cowboy .45 Special Carrier.

Remove the Bolt from the rifle and hold it in a padded vise with
the left front of the Bolt up.















Carefully file a flat on the front left side of the Bolt. Finish with
a small lead in.
The amount removed needs to be only about .020”.












































Reassemble the rifle.

Load the Cowboy .45 Special rounds normally.

For a ’73 or ’66 be sure to push the last round in about ½” deeper
than normal. Use a soft tip “pusher rod” like a pencil, eraser
leading. A Deer Antler tine makes a good period correct pusher.

Operate and fire the gun normally.
