ramrod to check for a charge in the barrel on page 7.

WARNING

If there is a charge in the barrel, do not attempt to remove it by shooting it out if you are unsure what the charge is or if

you are unsure if the charge is safe. Instead, remove the charge using the instructions on pages 21 and 22.

actually tighten the breech plug and then rock the wrench back and forth to attempt to loosen the breech plug.)

7. If the breech plug can not be removed with reasonable force using the breech plug wrench provided, contact

the Remington Service Center listed on page 29 of this Owner’s Manual.
