Traditions Outfitter - Manual (Page 4)

II: BREAK ACTION RIFLE OVERVIEW
Break-Action design firearms are so described due to the fact that the barrel and receiver
are joined by a pivoting hinge. When the action release is depressed in a rearward
motion, the receiver and barrel open in a breaking motion. A variety of finishes & stock
configurations are available.
The Outfitter is a “platform” style firearm. This firearm by design is able to change from
a centerfire rifle or muzzleloader simply by swapping out the barrels. You can also
change what caliber your Outfitter is simply by changing barrels. Be sure to check your
state for rules and regulations regarding which weapons are legal for use during
prescribed season(s).
! WARNING : CENTERFIRE BARRELS DO NOT INTERCHANGE WITH
PURSUIT MUZZLELOADERS.

NOTE: Store your rifle in a cool, dry, secured area. Storage in a
gun case should be avoided as it may hasten condensation and
corrosion. During long periods of storage, periodically check for
signs of pitting or rusting on the surface and in the barrel bore.
NOTE: The myth that stainless steel & nickel doesn’t have to be
cleaned as much as blued steel is false. You need to clean and
lubricate your stainless barrel just as you would a blued steel
barrel. The stainless and nickel barrels are more rust resistant
than blued steel, but over time can rust.
