Important Parts of the Firearm (cont’d)

To Install The Breech Plug.

3. With the hammer cocked and the safety mechanism in the ‘SAFE’ position, place the breech plug in the

threaded rear opening of the barrel. (See

Picture 12).

4. Use the breech plug wrench provided to thread the breech plug into the rear of the barrel. Start it by hand at

first to ensure it is not cross threaded.

5. Make sure the breech plug is tightened snugly and the back face of the breech plug is seated slightly below the

rear edge of the barrel. Do not over-tighten.

WARNING

THE BREECH PLUG MUST BE SEATED CORRECTLY IN THE BARREL TO ENSURE THE PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION OF THE

FIREARM. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIRE THE RIFLE if the breech plug will not thread in smoothly and tighten snugly with the

BACK FACE of the breech plug seated slightly below the REAR EDGE of the barrel. If the breech plug cannot be seated cor-

rectly, contact the Remington Service Center listed on Page 29 of this Owner’s Manual.

Loading and Shooting Procedures

Use Black Powder, PYRODEX

or Triple Seven

Only

Never use modern smokeless gun powder even if it is black in color. Never use any powder other

than black powder PYRODEX or Triple Seven in this muzzleloader. The use of any other propel-

lant will cause serious injury or death to the shooter and bystanders and damage to the firearm.

Prior to loading and shooting the firearm, refer to the cleaning instructions starting on page 23.

It is essential your gun is clean for proper safety, function and accuracy.

Black Powder, PYRODEX

and Triple Seven

Black powder is the name that identifies the type of powder that is safe to use in muzzleloading firearms and DOES

NOT REFER TO ALL POWDERS THAT ARE BLACK IN COLOR. Some modern smokeless powders are black in

color but are designed to be used only in modern centerfire cartridges and shotgun shells. Be sure to identify the

powder as a type to be used in muzzleloading fir

ear

ms by the name and NOT THE COLOR. PYRODEX

and T

riple

Seven

are black powder replicas that are intended for use in percussion type muzzleloading firearms and are the

ONLY black powder replicas that are safe to use in this Remington

Genesis

™

ML Muzzleloading rifle.

PYRODEX

Powder is intended to be used as a volume-to-volume replacement for black powder

and will produce similar velocities and pressures as the same volume of the appropriate granulation of black

powder. Thus, a volumetric powder measure that is set to measure 100 grains of black powder can be filled with

PYRODEX

or instead to achieve similar results. PYRODEX

is used on a volume-to-volume replacement basis

and NOT ON A WEIGHT-TO-WEIGHT BASIS.
