New Chapius 450-400 Elan Classic Just Arrived - Missing Owner’s Manual

[midwest-eagle]

I took delivery of my first double rifle yesterday from my FFL. I was very happy with my Chapius' fit and finish. However, the box and case lacked an owner’s manual. I could not find an on-line version of the Chapius Elan model owner’s manual. I have emailed Chapius for assistance—I might be waiting awhile for a response. Does anyone know of a link to the manual in question. In meanwhile, I have printed out the manuals of other double manufacturers to read. Merkel’s was helpful—not apples to apples but useful.

Im not sure they come with an owners manual.. @Tom Leoni might know better than anyone else though..

I just took delivery of a Chapuis Iphisi a few weeks ago... Mine came with a certificate / proof of the finished firearm (basically a document that states when the gun was made, the caliber, the serial number, has a copy of the proof marks, etc..), a regulation target showing how the gun shot at 50M, a little pamphlet that is for the Negrini case that the rifle was delivered in, and a warranty registration card.. and thats it... no owners manual...

Perhaps we can help. Do you not know how to use it?

Owners manual?
Step 1: Inject bullets (note: bullet caliber should match stamp on barrel)
Step 2: Point gun away from self then pull trigger(s)…
Step 3: Open action..,eject bullets
Step 4: Insert bullets…Repeat step 2

I have had several Chapuis. They come with a warranty card, but none have ever come with an owners manual.

Hi, I can confirm that the only models currently in the Chapuis catalog that come with manuals are the ROLS straight-pulls. User's manuals with the usual warnings and safety information are something that we will produce in time.

Yup....only 3 pieces to put together as well.....

Thank you everyone that responded. For future resale, I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t missing it. I did appreciate the humor above.

I recently purchased a Chapuis UGEX in 9.4 x 74R and it didn’t come with an owner’s manual either. Test target, warranty and proof certificate were included.
I tried looking online but couldn’t find it.
