Attachment 98138I recently cleaned a Mk 2 that had been removed from its wrapper just before I bought it but all the grease left in and on it. A brief dip of the barreled action in kerosene followed by careful drying (and swabs through the bore) and then oiling took care of that. I found the heavy grease that was on parts of the wood was easily cleaned with a soft cloth soaked in RLO. You want to be very careful and avoid scrapes or dings so that you're left with a perfect, brand new rifle. Also be very careful disassembling it as things may be tight and you don't want to ruin a screw head or affect the draws negatively.
