 Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached FileJust bought an X95. Put 100 rounds through it and it is accurate. But the carrier looks like it has rust all over it. I keep wiping and it keeps coming off. Does IWI use some sort of film like Glock does for long term storage?  Attached File |

Looks like long-term storage grease to me. Hose that bitch down with G96, let it soak, and the problem will be taken care of either way.

Yes, that’s a preservative film. It seems almost like a paraffin/wax lubricant but as it heats up it turns to goo. Do a complete detailed strip and clean with contact cleaner. You will need to actually flush it and remove it by scrubbing with soaked wipes and Qtips. It won’t just run off when you spray it. It’s everywhere, chamber, inside the bolt and firing pin, inside the receiver, even in the trigger group. Then really lube the gun and run it wet for a while.

That's what I was thinking, but after shooting it, it wasn't gooey at all. It's not inside the bolt or on the firing pin at all. It's only on the carrier. |

Both of mine had the same stuff. Cleaned it off and it was fine. I think the manual may even mention it.

My sar had the same on it. It was kind of a pain to get off. I did fire 2000rds before I cleaned it, so that could of been a huge factor also.
