degreasing new bolt

[Steverino]

I would also fully degrease any new rifle from the factory, clean and then apply a thin oil of your favorite lubricant. Most, if not all, gun manufacturers, apply more of a long-term grease- rust inhibitor, that can and will gum up a firearm if left uncleaned prior to range work.

If you can't or do not wish to disassemble the boly assembly, I have found Birchwood Casey's Gun Scrubber to work very well as a cleaner and dries quickly.
