Scully Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 It's something I've never thought of before, but I can't think why it should be. It's not as if the buyer will be the first person to fire it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Make sure that all metal to metal parts are oiled or greased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 They are often coated in "packing grease" to protect them in storage and transit this should be removed have you tried the manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 It 'should' have been cleaned and lubed by the dealer pre sale. However, if not as someone already said it will be covered in packing grease. If in doubt, personally, I'd clean and relube it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Hi. Can't believe you haven't sat there stroking and polishing it of course you should clean it It's acceptable to leave the price tag on if you got a bargain !

hwr Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 LOL Thanks all, it was straight out the box as dealer gave me the choice and it was nicer then the one on display, Not sat with it on my lap as I've hidden it from the wife!!! However I shall remove all grease , give it a good clean and a spot of oil in the right places... and then go and get it all dirty then clean it again!
