[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 4031713, member: 27673"] When I worked part time for a couple of local gunsmiths they both loved WD40 because it was a quick money maker. Guys would bring in their guns and state that it wouldn't function correctly and after peeking inside the action they'd ask the customer what kind of lube they were using and 9 times out of 10 they'd reply WD40.......a patch or two saturated down the bore, spray inside liberally and wipe it down outside, all done with WD40. Disassemble......clean all the gummy WD40 and filth out of the action and reassemble lubed properly = $50.00. When the customer picked up their gun both smiths were honest and would tell the customer to save the WD40 for gate hinges and never use it on their guns......some may say that they've used it for years and never had a problem but I've never used it on my guns and won't.
