A Tradition of Performance and Safety.
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 almost 200 years the
same holds true for any firearm, including your new Remington. Eliphalet Remington’s
first flintlock launched a proud tradition of accuracy and responsibility.
Safety is Critical to Performance.
A superbly crafted gun is only as good as the hands that hold it. You can never be too careful. Shooting
accidents are often caused by careless oversights such as failing to control the direction of the muzzle, failing to
fully engage the safety, leaving ammunition in the chamber or using improper loads. These oversights can result
in the destruction of life, limb or property. There’s no calling back a bullet once it’s been fired, so it’s
critical that you know the principles of safe gun handling and storage before you ever take your new Remington
firearm out of the box.
The proper use and performance of your firearm depends on correct assembly and maintenance, so it’s critical
that you familiarize yourself with the information in this instruction book. Even if you’re a veteran shooter with a
collection of Remington firearms, take the time to read this literature. Not all firearms are the same. That means
the first step in safe handling is to learn the features and requirements of your new Remington.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FIREARM SAFETY
The Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety should be etched in your memory forever. Let them govern your
action wherever and whenever you’re involved with firearms. In the field. On the range. Or in your home. Please
take the time to review and understand these rules.
Always Keep the Muzzle Pointed in a Safe Direction.
This is the most important gun safety rule. A safe direction is one in which an accidental
discharge will not cause injury to yourself or others. Never allow your gun to point at
anything you don’t intend to shoot. Be especially careful when you’re loading or unloading.
Treat every gun as if it were loaded. And make it a habit to know where the muzzle is
pointed at all times, even when your firearm is unloaded. No one will be injured by an
accidental discharge if you keep your firearm pointed in a safe direction. It’s as simple as that.
Firearms Should be Unloaded When Not Actually in Use.
Load your firearm only when you’re in the field or on the target range and ready to fire. Never let a loaded gun
out of your sight or out of your hands. Unload it as soon as you’re finished shooting before you bring it into
your car, camp or home. Remember, unloading your firearm means unloading it completely, so there is no
ammunition in the chamber or in the magazine. Before handling a firearm or passing it to someone else, visually
check the chamber, receiver and magazine to be certain they do not contain ammunition. Always keep the gun’s
action open when not in use. Never assume a gun is unloaded even if you were the last person to use it. Always
check for yourself.
