Hi, just picked up a Colt LE6920. It has what appears to be some sort of shipping grease in it, perhaps cosmoline. I've cleaned many rifles before but never a brand new one with packing/shipping grease or cosmoline on it. It's obvious that this stuff is to protect the rifle for shipping and storage, not lubricate it, based on a simple pull of the charging handle.
Is there anything special that has to be done, or do I just have to wipe it dry and then clean/lube it as normal? The owners manual didn't say anything about it.
Thanks!
