    I often hear shooters moaning about charges made by RFDs for various services.
    I spent almost 4 hours after work last night collecting rifles, shotguns and pistols from a customers home who is in hospital.
    I'll spend another hour or so booking them in for storage this morning.
    The man is a long standing customer, the price to him is free.
    Loyalty cuts in both directions.

    How does it attract water ..? does it not displace moisture

     

    It is immiscible with water , ie it mixes with water thus displacing it by soaking it up (that's not strictly correct but I can't think of a simpler explanation). WD40 is >90% hydrocarbons and petroleum distillates it is NOT a lubricant nor is it oil based. Spray it on leave a little behind and over time water will saturate it and the metal underneath will rust.

    WD40 is not a good thing to use on a gun, appart from all of the good advice above it is hygroscopic (ie. it attracts water) so if you do use it, as a first pass cleaner, you must remove all traces and apply a thin coat of oil to finish. Legia Spray is a very good alternative has all of the positive properties and none of the negative.

  17. Are Daystate overhyped?

    in Airgunners

    I bought a Daystate Bullpup and it was a mistake. The rifle has lots of irritating issues and to get a scope to fit your eye properly is extremely difficult, you could of course buy an MTC scope (which are marketed, and sold overpriced, by Daystate) and fit it to their wobble rail but it's cr*p. Their customer service is 'non-existant' (by their own admission) as they 'don't talk to their end users, just the resellers'. Irf you do get through to anyone they are so under the thumb of the middle/upper management control freaks that it's all a secret and are as much help as a chocolate teapot.

     

    Daystate are Diana and charge an abolute fortune for assembling a bunch of cheap parts (they don't make anything) and adding a lashing of marketing hype (which they are quite good at). Some of their components are very good but unfortunately their airguns are bi-polar in this regard.

     

    If you can afford it and you get a good-un they are OK, if you stretch yourself to get one thinking it will be good and you will get great customer service, you have been fooled.
