Naa Companion - smokeless OK?

[juggle5]

Hi
I inherited a 22lr Companion from my Uncle and it
didn't come with a manual.  In my research on the
web, I have seen articles stating that the original
NAA manual for this gun stated it was safe to use
smokeless powder in these.  I have seen posts that
are adement that only black powder is safe.
Can someone help me with facts on this
Thanks

I don't think that was the NAA manual.
It was the Freedom Arms manual......

Welcome to the forum.

Way back in the old days the first ones came with data for a smokeless load. But not now. Some do it but not worth the risk.
For the best pop get true 4f black. At 2.5 gr per charge a pound will last longer than you. 3f will work or pyrodex. pyrodex P is 3f. 
Someplace on the NAA sight you should find instructions. Did it still have the powder measure?  I will dig out the book and post stuff if you need. Have you shot C&B before ? You can order the measure from NAA.

If you like your fingers don't risk it.  Rosie Palmer would be lonely with out all five of her sisters.

Thanks guys...

I only got the gun and about 50 bullets..  I just bought some Triple 7 FFFG and some remington #11 caps,
will that combo work safely?  I understand you need to fill it up so the bullet seats against the powder, shouldn't
be any air space.  I am in Norcal, but appreciate the offer.
