10th COMMANDMENT

Make it a practice to clean your bore ever

y 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 lubricat-

ed. 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 com-

ponent 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.
