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

    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.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    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.

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