    Gun grease, what do I use to clean? Wood too?

    Hello,

    I bought a new Norinco M14icon and a CZ 858, both were in a plastic bag covered in a grease, (more the M14). Should I clean them? Take them all appart? What should I use? Should I clean the wood also? Etc...

    Thanks, any help would help.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    As a general rule, its always a good idea to completely disassemble, clean and inspect every gun purchase. If you cannot do it, take it to someone who can.

    Wipe them down with a rag, take them apart and clean them. Re-assemble and go shooting.
