Okay guys. I just bought my first NEW bolt action rifle (been about 10 years since I bought a new rifle too). It has a good coating of grease or something over all the metal. What should I use to clean that off? Also, I'm sure that there is a coating of something in the barrel too. Thinking back to my chemistry classes...petroleum based oil/grease introduced to high heat (a fired round) = high carbon residue/deposits. Using a petroleum based cleaner wouldn't suffice either. What is there available that is non-petroleum based that I should swab out the barrel before shooting for the first time?
Thank you!!
