Removing a Charge

From Your T/C System 1

™

Never attempt to pull a charge from your System 1

™

until you are abso-

lutely certain that the firearm is deprimed (percussion cap, removed from

the nipple). Do not attempt to pull a charge from any gun until the pow-

der charge has been rendered inert (barrel removed and its breech section

submerged in water for at least one-half hour) as explained in the follow-

ing text dealing with pulling a charge. AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE

CAN CAUSE INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR BY-

STANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

REMOVING A CHARGE FROM A MUZZLELOADING RIFLE

Under normal conditions your System 1™ is unloaded simply by firing it into

a suitable and safe backstop. There are, however, some conditions under which

the firearm cannot be fired and the charge must be pulled.

SOME OF THE MOST COMMON CONDITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1. If the projectile is not seated firmly against the powder charge, stop im-

mediately! Do not attempt to fire the rifle. You must pull the charge and

clean the barrel.

2. If the rifle is loaded in a proper manner yet fails to fire after repeated

repriming and clearing of the ignition ports (explained in “Ignition” section).

3. If you are at a location that is unsuitable for discharging the firearm be-

fore transporting it.

To remove a charge from your System 1

™

it will be necessary to take the

firearm down - separating the barrel from the receiver and stock. Follow these

steps to disassemble your System 1
