Manual

The striker and inside of the receiver must be thoroughly cleaned and

lightly oiled to ensure reliable and safe operation. Corrosion and rust that

result from improper cleaning, or lack of cleaning, could alter the proper

functioning of the striker mechanism. This could lead to a condition

whereby the gun will not operate correctly. AN ACCIDENTAL DIS-

CHARGE MAY OCCUR RESULTING IN INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO

THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

5. Now that the barrel is completely dry, lightly lube the bore with a qual-

ity 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 muzzle-

loader breech plug wrench provided with the firearm. Make sure that you have

lubed all of the threads on the breech plug and inside the breech area with an

anti-seize type lubricant like T/C's Gorilla Grease. Be careful not to cross-

thread the breech plug or over-tighten it. It should be made snug by turning it

clockwise with the System 1 takedown tool while holding the barrel in your

other hand. Do not use two wrenches to do this.

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.

7. Your T/C System 1 muzzleloader may now be reassembled in the

reverse order of the takedown procedure detailed on page 10 through 13.

8. After your in-line muzzleloader has been reassembled, check the strik-

er to ensure that there is no excess lubricant on the surface which could

impede safe performance. Check for proper functioning of the trigger, striker

and safety mechanism prior to loading and firing.

Make certain that the striker is in the "cocked" position, the safety is en-

gaged (fully rearward) and aligned with the green dot on the stock and the

firearm is unprimed before attempting to clear any lubricant or debris

from the receiver of your T/C in-line muzzleloader. FAILURE TO FOL-

LOW THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO

THE SHOOTER OR BYSTANDERS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

Black Powder and Pyrodex are very corrosive and the residue or fouling

left in the bore after firing your firearm can be very destructive to the steel,

causing oxidation, r

ust and pitting. Leaving your fir

ear

m uncleaned with this

fouling present can lead to a ruined firearm.
