Check out the OxyClean on the underside of the bolt. If it does not deteriorate the finish clean the metal parts with it. Military finishes are much more durable than the commercial finishes. After you scrub your metal parts take them in the hottest shower water available and rinse them off. The water evaporates almost immediately and your weapon is ready for oiling. This system was used by our basic training platoon on about 40 M14's with results that pleased the armorer the following day.
