Glad you got it off.
Everygun from china is packed in grease/oil like that.
Most dealers clean them up some before we ship.
Varsol /paint thiner if you have lots to do.
G96 works very well also .

CHEMIST; " I'd try some brake cleaner or something on it. "
I would not suggest that, it will melt the grips....

If you are using Brake clean on any Norico gun, remove all plastic first and place it a long ways away from where you will be cleaning. Note that the mag follower is also plastic. took the grips off of mine and filed away the sharp edges. Also I put the small slip on grip with finger grooves from Hogue, which helps makes the gun much more shootable.
In 6,000+ rds I have never disassembled the gun, I flush it out with WD-40 after shooting and after a number of cleanings remove the grips and flush the gun with Brake clean which removes any of the WD-40 buildup. After which I apply gun oil and grease to the rails. Trying to get one of these guns back togethr again is a bit of a puzzle.
Hoppe's #9 mixed with a little paint thinner lolwhat worked for you ..
gerry
good purchase its a fun plinker for the price. disassembly isn't as bad as everyone says it is.
I agree, I do the same. I disassembled the gun once, it was a PITA I didn't need to do, wouldn't bother again.
What you don't like that little spring in the slide so much?![]()
i managed to get it off... thanks guys
