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.
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.
5th COMMANDMENT Use Proper Ammunition. Every firearm is designed to use a certain caliber or gauge of ammunition. Using the wrong ammunition, mixing ammunition or using improperly reloaded ammunition can cause serious personal injury or death. And it only takes one cartridge or shotshell of the incorrect caliber or gauge, or which has been improperly reloaded, to destroy your firearm. It’s your responsibility to make sure the ammunition you use exactly matches the caliber or gauge of your gun.
6th COMMANDMENT 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.
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.
