Manual

1. You may disassemble your Omega muzzleloader as detailed on pages 10 and 11

of this manual - or, merely lower the swinging breech to expose the breech plug.

2. Using the in-line muzzleloader breech plug wrench, remove the breech plug by

turning it counter-clockwise (as viewed from the nipple end). It will be necessary to over-

come the initial resistance caused by the barrel to breech plug seal. The breech plug

should now be scrubbed free of fouling and later it should be lubricated with an anti-seize

lubricant like T/C's Super Lube, before re-installation. The threads inside the breech end

of the barrel must also be well cleaned with a stiff brush and lubed with anti-seize lube.

3. Fill a pan with very hot soapy water. Submerge the muzzle end of the barrel in the

water and push a wet patch down the barrel on the end of your ramrod(that has a jag in-

stalled on it) A jag comes with every new T/C muzzleloader. Pump the rod and patch up

and down in the barrel. This will draw water into the barrel and flush out the fouling.

When the barrel is clean, wipe off the excess water and set the barrel aside to dry.

4. Thoroughly wipe any powder residue from the hammer/trigger assembly and

swinging breech. Dry the parts thoroughly. After cleaning your T/C Omega muzzleloading

rifle, it is recommended that you lightly lube the metal surfaces of the rifle. Do Not use

heavy grease or oil, as during cold weather, excessive lube may congeal and slow the ham-

mer fall (or keep it from striking the firing pin altogether) when the trigger is pulled.

5. Now that the barrel is completely dry, lightly lube the bore with a quality lubricant

or, in keeping with the all-natural method, T/C's Natural Lube 1000 Plus Bore Butter.

Reinstall the breech plug using the in-line muzzleloader breech plug wrench provided

with the firearm. Make sure that you have lubed all of the threads with an anti-seize type

lubricant like T/C's Super Lube. Be careful not to cross-thread the breech plug or over-

tighten it. It should be made snug by turning it clockwise with the breech plug wrench.

Also. lubricate the threads inside the breech area of the barrel with anti-seize lubricant.

6. Fouling on the stock, receiver and exterior parts should be wiped off with an oily

cloth or T/C’s Wonder Cloth saturated with Natural Lube 1000 Plus Bore Butter.
