    Help a noob please

    I would call the customer service number 1-866-730-1614 and advise them you need a manual and give them the serial number off the barrel. The .490 round ball is for a 50 cal barrel.

    Armas GIL 50 cal Hawken style info

    Thanks for the input and info Zonie. The gun is in great shape. I cleaned the bore and had what appeared to be some brown residue on the patches. It took several patches of brake cleaner followed by Hopes #9 and alcohol, then eventually dry patches to get the bore clean (no more stains). I...
