you have a clear channel. If not, fire additional primers or check the breech plug for

obstructions. Another way to see if you have a clear fire channel is to screw a

loading/cleaning jag on your

ramrod and place a dry patch on

the muzzle of your rifle

Push the patch down to the

breech plug face and leave

ramrod & patch in bore. Point r

ce primer in nipple area of the

breech plug and fire two primers. Remove ramrod from the bore and inspect patch. Patch
should have a complete circular burn in middle. This tells you that you have a clear fire
channel. Stand the butt of the rifle on the ground so that the muzzle is pointed up and
away from you and others. Never work with your face or any part of your body over the
muzzle, even when the gun

ifle in a safe direction, pla

is unloaded. Be sure that the firearm is unprimed and the safeties are engaged. Your rifle
is now ready to be loaded.
