YOUR SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES CONT’D
• NEVER CLIMB TO OR DESCEND FROM A TREE STAND
WITH A PRIMED MUZZLELOADING FIREARM. NEVER
RAISE OR LOWER A PRIMED MUZZLELOADING
FIREARM TO OR FROM A TREE STAND. Tree stands are
potentially hazardous. If you feel that you must use a tree
stand, purchase a top-quality brand only and follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions to the letter. Failure to follow this rule
may cause serious injury and/or death to the shooter or
bystanders and damage to property.
•
NEVER LEAN A CHARGED AND PRIMED RIFLE AGAINST
A TREE, WALL OR ANY SURFACE. Once the rifle has been
charged it is your responsibility to guard it against accidental
bumps.
• USE THOMPSON/CENTER SCOPE MOUNTS ONLY.
The current product catalog lists a series of scopes and
mounts which are designed specifically for use with our
firearms. These mounts make use of existing screw holes.
Those who desire a scope sight should make use of
Thompson/Center mounts. Do not drill additional holes in the
barrel as this could weaken the barrel structure leading to a
rupture. A ruptured barrel can cause serious injury and/or
death to the shooter or bystanders and damage to property.
•
NEVER MODIFY ANY OF THE PARTS IN YOUR FIREARM.
Do not add or replace any of the parts in your firearm unless
they are genuine Thompson/Center parts and you follow the
instructions supplied by Thompson/Center. If you do other-
wise, improper functioning may occur and serious injury or
death may result. In addition to the dangers presented, the
use of non-factory parts, including but not limited to, barrels
and springs, voids all warranties.
WARNING: NEVER RELY ON MECHANICAL SAFETY
FEATURES OF THE GUN ALONE. ONLY YOUR SAFE
GUN HANDLING WILL ENSURE THE SAFE USE OF
YOUR FIREARM. THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
