In 1816 Eliphalet Remington was confident he could make a flintlock that was as good or better than any he could buy. The barrel he handcrafted set a new standard for firearm accuracy and spawned generations of products that have made Remington® Arms America's leading gunmaker. While performance and style are certainly hallmarks of Remington firearms, one factor ultimately drives their performance. Eliphalet Remington never lost sight of the fact that his rifles were potentially lethal and could kill someone if handled improperly. [. . . ] Open the Torch CamTM breech block to expose the threaded end of the barrel. 13 Important Parts of the Firearm (cont'd) To Install The Breech Plug. With the hammer cocked and the safety mechanism in the `SAFE' position, place the breech plug in the threaded rear opening of the barrel. Use the breech plug wrench provided to thread the breech plug into the rear of the barrel. Start it by hand at first to ensure it is not cross threaded. Make sure the breech plug is tightened snugly and the back face of the breech plug is seated slightly below the rear edge of the barrel. Do not over-tighten. WARNING THE BREECH PLUG MUST BE SEATED CORRECTLY IN THE BARREL TO ENSURE THE PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION OF THE FIREARM. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIRE THE RIFLE if the breech plug will not thread in smoothly and tighten snugly with the BACK FACE of the breech plug seated slightly below the REAR EDGE of the barrel. If the breech plug cannot be seated correctly, contact the Remington Service Center listed on Page 29 of this Owner's Manual. Loading and Shooting Procedures Use Black Powder, PYRODEX ® or Triple Seven ® Only Never use modern smokeless gun powder even if it is black in color. Never use any powder other than black powder PYRODEX or Triple Seven in this muzzleloader. The use of any other propellant will cause serious injury or death to the shooter and bystanders and damage to the firearm. Prior to loading and shooting the firearm, refer to the cleaning instructions starting on page 23. It is essential your gun is clean for proper safety, function and accuracy. Black Powder, PYRODEX ® and Triple Seven ® Black powder is the name that identifies the type of powder that is safe to use in muzzleloading firearms and DOES NOT REFER TO ALL POWDERS THAT ARE BLACK IN COLOR. Some modern smokeless powders are black in color but are designed to be used only in modern centerfire cartridges and shotgun shells. Be sure to identify the powder as a type to be used in muzzleloading firearms by the name and NOT THE COLOR. PYRODEX® and Triple Seven® are black powder replicas that are intended for use in percussion type muzzleloading firearms and are the ONLY black powder replicas that are safe to use in this Remington® GenesisTM ML Muzzleloading rifle. PYRODEX® Powder is intended to be used as a volume-to-volume replacement for black powder and will produce similar velocities and pressures as the same volume of the appropriate granulation of black powder. Thus, a volumetric powder measure that is set to measure 100 grains of black powder can be filled with PYRODEX® or instead to achieve similar results. PYRODEX® is used on a volume-to-volume replacement basis and NOT ON A WEIGHT-TO-WEIGHT BASIS. 14 Loading and Shooting Procedures (cont'd) WARNING!TRIPLE SEVEN® Powder is NOT intended to be used as a volume-to-volume replacement for black powder or PYRODEX®. To obtain similar velocities and pressures as black powder or Pyrodex® powder, you must decrease the volume of Triple Seven® powder by 15%. Thus, on a volumetric basis, to replicate the same pressure and velocity of a 100 grain black powder or Pyrodex® load, you must calibrate your volumetric powder measure to 85 grains for Triple Seven®. [. . . ] Place a cleaning patch saturated with RemTM Oil or a Remington Express® Lube patch evenly over the jag and push it into the bore from the breech. Swab the bore with short strokes to uniformly apply the RemTM Oil or Remington Express® Lube to the internal surfaces of the barrel. Repeat step 7 several times to properly condition and preserve the bore. 28 Field Cleaning (cont'd) 9. Point the firearm in a safe direction and fire at least two 209 primers to make sure the flash hole is clear. [. . . ]
