Back when Remington absolutely did spray Police guns with Cosmoline, I'd field strip the gun, including the magazine tube and spray everything dripping wet with CLP Breakfree.

I'd let it soak for 30 minutes or so, then use air to blow off the excess, drain and blow out the trigger group, and wipe everything to remove the excess.
This removed the Cosmoline and left everything well protected from rust and well lubricated.

Whether Remington is still using Cosmoline or not, this is still a good way to remove the gummy factory coating and ready the gun for use, and it certainly doesn't cause any harm.

I liked CLP Breakfree because it's thicker then Rem-Oil and I think it does a better job and doesn't run off so bad as the much thinner Rem-Oil.
Put the gun on a thick pad of newspaper to soak up the CLP that drips off while it soaks.
