xIx. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:

A systematic routine of cleaning while shooting is strongly advised to aid in

avoiding problems while loading and to optimize accuracy.

1. When cleaning the bore, use Traditions EZ Clean™ cleaning patches rather

than shooting patches. Shooting patches are too small for cleaning and can be

lost in the bore.

2. If a patch becomes lost in the bore, use Traditions Patch Puller Worm attached

to a ramrod for retrieval, or if necessary, remove the breech plug and push the

patch out through the breech area. Never load a charge over a lost patch.

3. If unusual resistance is felt while loading a projectile, place a EZ Clean™

cleaning patch on a cleaning jag afﬁxed to the end of a ramrod and run it the

full length of the barrel several times with your objective being to remove as

much of the fouling build up as possible.

Note: It should never be necessary to hammer or excessively force a projectile

down the bore. Projectiles should load ﬁrmly against the powder charge with

a series of short strokes. If the projectile is the proper size, unusual resistance

usually indicates the need to swab the bore with a treated cleaning patch. Use EZ

Clean™ solvent if barrel is heavily fouled. An occasional cleaning of the bore with

a brass Traditions Bore Brush is advisable to remove excessive plastic and fouling

build-up.

4. When target shooting or sighting in, develop a habit of consistently wiping the

bore with Traditions Wonder Lube 1000 patches after each shot. Depending

upon the speciﬁc load, temperature, and humidity, a short series of shots with

black powder, Pyrodex

or Triple 7

can be ﬁred before it becomes necessary

to wipe the bore with Traditions EZ Clean™ patches or in order to remove

fouling build-up. If for any reason the projectile will not go all the way down

to the powder charge, it will be necessary to extract the projectile from the

barrel either with a bullet puller on a ramrod or the breech plug can be

removed, the charge removed and the projectile forced out the end of the

barrel with a long bench/range rod or an extended ramrod.

Note: A dirty fouled barrel will directly affect your ability to group shots. However,

in a hunting situation, only a few shots will likely be taken. If the barrel is prepped

and lubed at the onset, it is not necessary to clean and lube the interior of the

barrel between shots when hunting.

CLEANING AFTER SHOOTING

CAUTION:

BEFORE CLEANING, MAKE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE GUN IS UNPRIMED AND

UNLOADED. USE THE RAMROD MEASURING METHOD AS DESCRIBED EARLIER.

Clean your gun as soon as possible after your shooting session. To leave a gun

un-cleaned, even overnight, can result in serious and damaging corrosion.

Advice: Take care when cleaning not to get water or solvent into the

trigger assembly.

Note: Regardless of the cleaning method, you must remove and thoroughly clean

the breech plug and area of the receiver during each cleaning. Be certain to lightly

lubricate the threads of the breech plug with Traditions Breech plug grease

before reinstalling.

Cleaning Method:

A thorough cleaning requires the complete disassembly of the ﬁrearm every time

you shoot your muzzleloader.

1. Make sure the ﬁrearm is unprimed and unloaded.

2. With action closed unscrew forend and remove.

3. Open action and lift barrel up and away from receiver.

4. Using a Breech Plug Wrench, remove the breech plug from the barrel

5. Pour 8-10 inches of hot, soapy water into a secured pail.

6. Immerse the receiver end of the barrel into the cleaning solution so that the

water is above the breech opening.

7. Using a cleaning patch afﬁxed to a jag or a cleaning brush, pump the soapy

water repetitively through the barrel by raising and lowering the ramrod until

bore is clean.

8. When the bore is clean, remove barrel from liquid. Run dry cleaning patches

up and down bore to dry inside. Wipe outside of barrel with dry cloth.

9. Clean receiver area with EZ Clean™ spray and a soft bristle brush to remove

any fouling or debris. Dry receiver and breech area.

WARNING:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE RECEIVER. THIS INCLUDES ANY PINS

HOLDING THE RECEIVER TOGETHER. CLEAN AS A UNIT.

10. Lightly coat outside and inside of barrel and all other metal parts with

Wonderlube 1000 Plus. Apply Traditions breech plug grease to the threads of

the breech plug.

11. Clean all residues from inside and outside of the stock.

12. Reassemble the muzzleloader.

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.
