In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can do this by pulling back the bolt of the gun and checking for a ball and powder, or tilting the gun forward at a 45 degree angle. If you're using a traditional muzzleloader ball as ammunition, it will roll out the front of the barrel. Never try to look down the barrel to see if there is a ball and powder in the firearm. Attempting to clean any type of loaded gun could result in serious injury or death. The accidental discharge of a muzzleloader could be especially serious, due to the large caliber of the ball. The bolt assembly is on top of the gun and holds the bolt (which slides back and forth, loading a round into the firing mechanism) in place. Take this apart by pulling the bolt assembly apart from the firing pin assembly (which will be located behind the bolt assembly). You may need to use a screwdriver to pry this open. For help clarifying the bolt assembly from the firing pin assembly, consult your firearm's manual, which should feature a clear diagram labeling the parts of the gun and firing mechanism. There should be a notch on the firing pin assembly that you can pry open using a coin. Using the proper size of screwdriver, unscrew the firing pin assembly. This unit doesn't need to be taken apart any further; do not attempt to remove the small firing pin itself. For this purpose, you'll need a clean cotton cloth. Dampen this with a bore cleaner oil, and lightly wipe down all parts. Focus on removing all grime and gunpowder residue from the working mechanisms of the bolt assembly. Clean off all surfaces and mechanisms on the firing pin assembly as well. Once both assemblies are clean, dry them with a separate clean cotton cloth. Then, dampen another clean cloth with a light machinery lubricant oil. Rub this on the bolt and firing pin assemblies to lubricate the moving parts and help them stay clean. You'll do this by performing the reverse of each of the steps used to disassemble the bolt and firing pin assemblies. Place the firing pin assembly back into the rear end of the bolt assembly, and tighten in place. Cock the bolt, and place it back into the receiver (its place on the stock of the gun). Tighten the bolt assembly, and un-cock the bolt. Do not reassemble the bolt assembly until you have finished cleaning the entire gun. You should set the bolt assembly and firing pin assembly safely to the side while you clean the barrel and trigger assembly. Then, reassemble the entire firearm once you've cleaned everything.
Summary: Make sure the firearm is unloaded. Disassemble the bolt assembly. Remove the firing pin assembly. Clean the bolt and firing pin assemblies. Reassemble the bolt assembly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before you pick up your gerbil, make sure the room is free of hazards and does not have any nooks or crannies where your gerbil could run and hide. Remove or hide electrical cords and wires and close all windows and doors. In addition, block access to any radiators or vents into which your gerbil could fall. In case your gerbil leaps out of your hands, you want to be sure he will be safe and that you will be able to find him. You may want to practice picking him up in your bathroom. Place a few towels in the bottom of the tub and plug the stopper. Place your gerbil's cage in the bathroom and find a comfortable way to position yourself in the tub so you can lift him out of his cage and into the tub. The bathroom is a small enough space where your gerbil would not be able to escape and hide. By now, your gerbil is probably pretty comfortable with you and your hand. Now, it's time to practice picking him up. Do not be nervousyour gerbil's excellent sense of smell could allow him to smell the adrenaline in your sweat if you are anxious. When you place your hands in your gerbil's cage, leave them still for a short while so he knows you are there; this can also let you calm your nerves before picking him up. The calmer you are, the calmer he will be, and the easier it will be to pick him up. The preferred way to pick up your gerbil is to scoop him up from underneath with your hands. This will be easier to do if you can gently nudge him into a corner with both of your hands. Cup your hands together, with fingers pressed closely together, and let your gerbil climb onto your hands. Having him in a corner will prevent him from running away from you during your attempt to pick him up. You may want to encourage your gerbil to climb onto your hands by holding a few small treats. When your gerbil is in your hands, slowly lift him up. Compared with other small pets, gerbils are not big fans of being picked up, so he will need some time to get used to the idea of being in the air. Start by lifting him up only about one inch (2.5 cm) into the air and then placing him back down. As your gerbil settles in to the idea of being picked up, gradually lift him up high enough to lift him out of his cage. Do not lift him too highhe could seriously injure himself if he jumps from a high height. If your gerbil does not want to climb onto your hands, encourage him to run into an empty toilet paper tube or plastic cup. Cover the open end(s) with your hand(s) and lift him up out of the cage. You can then gently 'pour' him into your hands. It may be tempting to hold your gerbil close to your chest and keep him still. However, the best thing you can do is give him the freedom to crawl on your hands and arms. Keeping him still would mimic your gerbil being trapped in a predator's claws in the wildyou definitely do not want your gerbil to see you as a predator! Place your gerbil gently back down in his cage to give him time to rest from being picked up.
Summary: Gerbil-proof the room. Remain calm. Coax your gerbil into a corner of his cage. Pick up your gerbil. Let your gerbil move around.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your gravy is done when it coats a spoon and comes off in drips not a steady, thin stream. This could take around 10-15 minutes. Stir it regularly so it doesn't film over, the bottom doesn't overheat, and the air and heat circulate evenly. It will take a while, so be patient. It's not done yet! Don't be alarmed if it still seems like it's in the works, because it is!
Summary:
Keep it over low heat to thicken.
