    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.

    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. 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.
    Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have.

    Yes no doubt leave your guns out during your hunt. not in and out from hot to cold clean and oil well when home Is he wearing Tennis shoes bet he ran along beside that one to shoot it. ( O first Web sight or social media experience ) some parts i like some i don't. Another little bit WD has never gummed up to my knowledge and have used it for around 40 years.(now don't whip me for that comment)

    Sometimes you put a test indicator on a part to make sure your datums or truth bands are still running true. Especially in an Id or OD grinder. It never fails that some coolant will get into it at one time or another. It is then when trying to clean the gunk out you learn what will leave a residue and what wont. Cigarette lighter fluid worked good but LPS, WD 40 and many more leave behind gunk after a while. The penetrating fluids worked well also.

    For sure with the casual dress it wasent intended as a walking around type hunt situation.
    But i wouldnt go so far as saying it was taken out the truck window.
    Leaning across the hood? probably. lol

    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.
