Priming Your Charged G2 Contender muzzleloading rifle. If you have fol-
lowed the preceding instructions your firearm will now be charged with Black Powder or
a recommended Black Powder Substitute and a projectile will be firmly seated against the
powder charge.
Your ramrod will be marked to the exact seating depth allowing
you to ensure that each future projectile is seated in the same careful manner.
Do not prime the firearm until you are actually ready to fire and you have dou-
ble checked to ensure that the ramrod has been removed from the bore.
Thompson/Center does not recommend priming the firearm until the instant
before actual firing. Carrying a charged, primed G2 Contender muzzleloader
can be dangerous. Accidental discharge is a constant hazard which, if it occurs,
can cause injury and/or death to the shooter or bystanders and damage to
property. The only safe way to guard against an accidental discharge is to carry
your G2 Contender muzzleloader with the hammer in the "at rest" position and
the manual firing pin selector in the ”neutral” position and the muzzle point-
ed downrange away from yourself, bystanders or property.
WHEN YOU ARE READY TO FIRE YOUR G2 CONTENDER, PRIME IT AS
SHOWN IN PHOTO “G”.
