T/C Omega muzzleloader TAKEDOWN PROCEDURE
1st Step Open the breech; make sure that the gun is unprimed.
2nd Step Remove the barrel/action assembly from the stock. Remove the ramrod
3rd Step Remove the breech plug, making sure that the muzzle is pointing in a safe
direction.
4th Step Once the breech plug has been removed, point the muzzle up. Gravity should
then cause the Pyrodex pellets to drop out, or the loose powder to pour out. The sabot or
bullet can then be poked out with your ramrod, inserting it through the muzzle. It will be
necessary to add the extended super jag (which came with your rifle) to your ramrod, or
you may use the longer “range rod” if you have access to one.
5th Step If your propellant (Pyrodex pellets or loose powder) doesn’t come out as a
result of gravity, pour water into the breech to fully saturate the Pyrodex pellets or pow-
der. Then proceed by pushing the entire charge out (propellant and projectiles) from the
muzzle by use of your ramrod.
If you can’t remove the breech plug.
If you can’t remove the breech plug in order to pull the charge, it will be necessary
to submerge the breech section of the barrel in a pail or bucket of water.
Complete Disassembly of the Omega will be necessary.
1. Check to make sure the gun is unprimed by opening the action.
2. Close the action; remove the barrel/trigger guard assembly from the stock. Remove the
ramrod.
3. Loosen the pivot pin set screws so that you can push out the trigger guard pivot pin and
the breech block pivot pin (see page 9)
Note: You do not have to completely remove the setscrews. Loosen them only enough to
allow the pivot pins to be pushed out. If you find that the pivot pins won’t push out easi-
ly, loosen the setscrew a little more. Do not drive out the pivot pins with a hammer and
punch. It is unnecessary if the setscrews have been loosened enough. You should be able
to poke both pivot pins out with a pencil or pen.
4. Once the trigger guard assembly has been removed, submerge the breech section of
the barrel into a pail of water. (Hot if possible). Make certain that at least 8" of the breech
section is submerged for at least 1/2 hour
