Just remember, Water Displacement formula 40 is NOT a lubricant. Nor is it a treatment for arthritis.

WD 40 is THE BEST for cleaning muzzleloaders. Hot soapy water, followed by a good hose down with WD. Drives out any moisture.
THEN , hose down with just about any good gun oil before being put away for storage.
I use it on all my Savage rigs. A good wipe down followed by a good gun oil.

I can melt crisco shortening and call it a lubricant also. Take a small bottle put 75 percent wd-40 in it. The rest water, shake it hard for 5 seconds. Your opinion of a WD40 will wane. Try it before you bark.

I like WD-40 for cleaning gummy adhesive residue off of packaging I'm repurposing. That's about it.

you go ahead and use crisco on your rifle then make a bacon fork out of it after you ruin it always someone wd's great for sticker residue and guns.

I take that back you might be on to something. TC's Bore Butter is all natural? test it and figure out the real formula. could be beaver fat or something similar to Crisco anyway love that stuff . will use it as long as they still make it. good day.

Some guys say it will increase the catch when sprayed on trolling lures.
I’ll take their word on that.

I've used WD-40 to chase water off rain and snow saturated guns. And after you bring a gun that's been out in 15 degree temps all day into a 70 degree house to clear off the condensation.

But the last thing I use after cleaning is Barricade or CLP as a rust-preventative coating. Lasts and protects.

For any of them I do not care for the aerosol. WD-40 I get in a gallon can and transfer to a squirt bottle, and the others as liquid.

Looks like it might be. We know his style as he was booted off of 24hrcf many times for the same thing. He cant help himself. Truth be told, he can be a nice guy but he is lonely and bitter.

Pretty nice speed goat though, hunts for those as a rule dont last very long, and chances are good theres a vehicle very close to the camera operator.

We find that once the guns and optics especially get acclimated to the cold, its just best to leave them in vehicles rather than bring them inside.
Wet equipment of coarse would be a different situation.

Remember early one spring morning, going to the range and my shooting buddy pulling a rifle out of a Cheap Skin Case. Looked like it was raining. :eek::eek: Grabbed the WD and hosed it down real good and wiped off the excess. Have seen folks spray electrical connections to drive out moisture. Only problem I've seen from using WD is it'll get gummy if left on for any length of time. A good wipe down and re oil with a good gun oil usually cures that problem.
