MAKE SURE THAT THE MUZZLELOADER IS
UNLOADED BEFORE PROCEEDING.
To check if the muzzleloader is unloaded, remove the ramrod and
place it down the barrel. The ramrod should sit approximately an
1 1/2” to 2 1/4” above the muzzle. It is important to note, that
when checking the barrel with our muzzleloading rifles the ramrod
should be approximately flush with the muzzle. If it is not, you
will need to disassemble the muzzleloader and remove the
obstruction before proceeding. Refer to the disassemble section.
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR MUZZLELOADER,
CLEAN & LUBRICATE IT!
These are brief instructions on what to do before you use your
muzzleloader for the first time. Please review the Disassembly
instructions inside for a complete set of instructions. When you first
take the muzzleloader new, out of the box there will be some
manufacturing oils and grease for shipping purposes. These residues
need to be removed so that the muzzleloader will function properly.
1. Remove the bolt or plunger (depending on the model you have),
nipple & breech plug from your muzzleloader.
2. Remove the barreled action from the stock and clean the barrel with
hot, soapy water. This will remove any manufacturing residue that
may be on the inside or outside of the barrel.
3. Dry all of the parts completely.
4. Apply a light coat of Tradition's Wonderlube 1000 Plus lubricant to a
dry patch (or use Tradition's pre-lubed patches) and run up & down
the bore before loading. This will allow for easier loading and
cleaning throughout your shooting sessions.
5. Lubricate the threads of the breech plug and nipple with Tradition's
Wonderlube 1000 Plus or Tradition's Breech plug grease.
