Mine had the white powder on it and I just wiped it off with a rag with the excess oil.
It now looks and operates fine. I used OTIS CLP that I use on all my guns to clean, lubricate and preserve the metal.
I don't see what all the fuss is about.
You guys are acting like the guns came from Mars or something. So far it seems like any other new gun I've purchased. It was soaked in normal gun oil, not grease, pretty standard stuff. The wood seems solid and looks fine. Everything seems tight and well fitted.
The trigger is good with a nice clean break; not too heavy or light.
The bore is nice and bright, and cleaning it was routine.
There seems to be some sort of running joke on this site to try and get the newbies to do all sorts of crazy things like use dishwashers on their guns and panic about a little white dust on the guns.
Why are you screwing with the newbies? Shouldn't this site be trying to help and encourage new shooters not have them doing all sorts of ridiculus things to their guns?
