Field Cleaning
WARNING: BE SURE THAT YOUR RIFLE IS UNLOADED PRIOR TO CLEANING. SEE PAGE 7.
ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN A LOADED OR PRIMED FIREARM CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE
SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS.
See pages 21 and 22 to unload the firearm.
Follow this procedure to clean your muzzleloader in the field:
1. Keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, put the safety mechanism in the ‘Safe’ position, open the Torch
Cam™ breech block and be sure there is no primer or primer residue remaining in the primer pocket of the
breech plug.
2. Use the ramrod to ensure there is no charge in the barrel. See 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.
3. Attach the cleaning jag to the ramrod with a ramrod extension attached or to a cleaning rod for use with rifled
bores. Place a cleaning patch soaked with Remington 40-X™ Bore Cleaner or a Remington Express
