fouling.
After removing all the fouling, follow up with a few dry patches to thoroughly dry the
bore. If the gun is to be stored for any length of time, follow the dry patches up with a
good protectant lubricant like T/C’s All Natural Lube Bore Butter.
Remember, when you reinstall the breech plug, make sure the threads are cleaned
and lubed with an anti-seize lube like T/C’s Super Lube. Also lubricate the threads inside
the breech area of the barrel with anti-seize lubricant.
Clean the trigger guard assembly (hammer & trigger) with a good brush and lightly
oil it. Reassemble and function the hammer and trigger assembly.
Cleaning From The Breech End
Never attempt to clean a charged or primed muzzleloading firearm. AN ACCI-
DENTAL DISCHARGE CAN CAUSE INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR
BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
When you are finished shooting for the day or for the season and plan to store the
T/C Omega muzzleloader away, it is recommended that you clean the firearm thoroughly.
This includes removal of the breech plug and cleaning the corresponding threads in the
barrel. Follow these instructions for thorough cleaning
