Owners are required to cease use of all Paramount muzzleloading rifles immediately and, if loaded, safely unload. Owners unfamiliar with the unloading process can find instructions in Section 17 of the owner’s manual, which is available online here [PDF].

These conditions may create an increased risk of failure, serious injury, or death to the user or bystanders during initial or subsequent firings.
