In 1816 Eliphalet Remington was confident he could make a flintlock that was as good or
better than any he could buy. His confidence was well founded. 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.
Safety. Eliphalet Remington never lost sight of the fact that his rifles were potentially
lethal and could kill someone if handled improperly. And after more than 180 years the Eliphalet Remington’s first
same holds true for any firearm, including your new Remington. Eliphalet Remington’s flintlock launched a proud tradition
of accuracy & responsibility.

Let common sense rule when you carry a loaded gun. If you’re in a situation that could risk
accidental discharge – such as crossing a fence, wading through a stream or climbing a
tree – always unload your gun. Never pull or push a loaded firearm toward yourself or
another person. And never carry a loaded gun in a scabbard, detached holster or gun case.
Certain firearms (including some Remington® rifles and shotguns) are equipped with internal
security devices to prevent unauthorized use. In addition, some firearms owners use external
devices, such as cable locks and trigger blocks, for the same purpose. Even if you use such
a device, you should still keep your firearm unloaded when stored or not in use. And
using internal or external devices cannot substitute, however, for securing your firearms Firearms should be stored in a

Safe storage of firearms is just as critical as safe handling. Never store guns loaded. Be way to secure your firearm.
sure to keep your firearms in a secure place where unauthorized persons cannot get
their hands on them without your knowledge.
Take special care if there are children around. Kids are fascinated by guns. It’s a natural curiosity that can have
tragic consequences when not properly supervised. Store your firearms in a locked gun safe or some other location
that physically bars a child from gaining access.
Ammunition should be stored and locked in a location separate from your firearm. Never leave an unsecured
firearm or ammunition in a closet, dresser drawer or under the bed. Remember, it is your responsibility to make
sure that children and others unfamiliar with firearms cannot get access to your firearm and ammunition.

If Your Gun Fails to Fire When the Trigger is Pulled, Handle With Care.
If for some reason the ammunition doesn’t fire when you pull the trigger, stop and remember the 1st
Commandment of Firearm Safety – always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Keep your face away from
the breech, then put the safety on, carefully open the action, unload the firearm and dispose of the cartridge safely.
Remember that anytime there’s a shell in the chamber, your gun is loaded and ready to use. Even if you tried to
shoot and your gun didn’t fire, treat your firearm as if it could still discharge.

Make it a practice to clean your bore every time you’re going to shoot. Be sure to clean your entire gun before
and after long-term storage and no less than once a year. It’s also important to clean your gun whenever it’s been
exposed to adverse conditions such as rain, dirt, mud, snow, sleet or saltwater.
For safe and dependable operation of your firearm, all parts of your gun must be properly cleaned and lubricated.
Periodically inspect the internal workings of your firearm to be sure they’re clean and free of rust, unwanted dirt
and debris.
Use recommended lubricants on your gun and do not over-lubricate. Excessive use of a non-recommended
lubricant could adversely affect the function and safe operation of your firearm. Remember, you are responsible
for the proper care and maintenance of your firearm. Failure to properly maintain your firearm can not only
damage or ruin your firearm, it can expose you and others to unnecessary risks of personal injury or death.
Remington® has a wide range of firearm care products and resources for best results when cleaning your gun.
Everything from solvents and lubricants to rods and patches. They’re all available from your Remington dealer.

Learn the Mechanics and Handling Characteristics of Your Firearm.
Not all guns are alike. They have different mechanical characteristics that dictate how you should carry and handle
them. Anyone who plans to use a firearm should first become totally familiar with the type of firearm it is and the
safe handling procedures for loading, unloading, carrying, shooting and storing it.
Before you even unpack your new Remington firearm, read this instruction book
from cover to cover and familiarize yourself with the different component parts of
the gun. Then read, understand and follow the Ten Commandments of Firearm
Safety in this book.
WARNING! Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning
firearms or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead, a
substance known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, cancer and
other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash
hands thoroughly after exposure.
SHOOT SOBER!!
There’s one other rule that must be followed when handling firearms. In fact, respect for this rule is necessary in
order to effectively practice the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety. The rule is: SHOOT SOBER! Guns and
alcohol or drugs make a deadly combination. Never consume anything that would mildly impair your judgment
or physical coordination when you’re using a firearm. A staggering percentage of the shooting accidents that
occur every year involve alcohol or drugs. Be smart. Always shoot sober and stay alive.
WARNING! Failure to follow any of these safety rules may cause personal injury or death to the shooter or
bystander and damage to property. Do not use a firearm until you fully understand and practice the Ten
Commandments of Firearm Safety. If you have any questions about the safe use of a Remington firearm, write to
us at Remington Arms Company, Inc., Consumer Service, P.O. Box 700, Madison, NC 27025-0700, or call us at
1-800-243-9700.
DON’T KEEP THIS TO YOURSELF.
Now that you’re a gun owner you have the obligation to help ensure that shooting sports are safe for everyone –
participants and bystanders alike. You can do that by practicing these principles of firearm safety and passing
them on to others – especially new shooters. Set an example for beginners. Be a guide to their safe entry into
the exciting world of shooting sports. Invest your time and patience for the love of the sport and for its future.
After all, it’s your love of the sport that led you to buy a new Remington.
Firearm ownership is a right and privilege. It’s a right guaranteed in this nation’s Constitution. It’s a privilege
which carries with it a personal responsibility to use your firearm in a way which will ensure your safety and the
safety of others. The preservation of this right and privilege depends on the personal commitment of you and
your fellow shooters to the safe and responsible use of firearms. Let the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety
outlined in the book guide you at all times. Teach and promote these rules whenever you can. Remember, firearm
safety depends on you! That’s the only way to really enjoy your new Remington firearm and to preserve sport
shooting as we know it today.
