Wildfowler12 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Can you guys recommend me a good CHEAP spray gun oil? I currently use Webley 3fore1, it great but it's costly and I'm going through it quickly. Somebody told me to just use WD40 but I didn't fancy that. Any thoughts?? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pole Star My Winchester SX3 was the silver barrelled one so probs wouldn't have affected it but the Beretta only gets the silicone spray used one it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 It's just for the slider, trigger components and rotary bolt on my benelli. It's the camo version so won't have to worry about fading the blueing. I just wasnt sure if there was any other problems with WD40? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_evil Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Shouldn't be a problem, its a high grade lubricant Could try some KY though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used WD40 on & off for a long time but kept it off the bluing & used it on the metel parts & have never had any problems with it . Pole Star ps thats my own experience though .

Gimlet Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Use proper gun oil- Napiers or PH Express, Tetra etc- just use it sparingly. Dampen a rag with a quick squirt and wipe over metal parts. No need to spray the gun till its dripping off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy H Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Been using WD for over 30 years for wiping down and dewatering but for trigger mech and bolts etc 3 in 1 oil works for me , Rifled barrels get the Hoppes no 9 treatment.

BlaserF3 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 WD 40 will remove the stock finish on the Xtra wood Beretta's, if it comes into contact with it :blink: Don't ask me how I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastiebap Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Brunox for me. Goes on everything from the handguns to the shottie. I've never had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike525steel Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) I was told by a gun dealer that WD40 seems to make bluing fade ! not sure about that though ? Pole Star It rubbish. Made up by gun dealers I've used it for years for cleaning. And just a light mineral base oil for the action. The truth is that gun smiths ont make money on wd40 It's fine just like kitchen roll or loo roll is just as good as patches. WD 40 will remove the stock finish on the Xtra wood Beretta's, if it comes into contact with it :blink: Don't ask me how I know Oops !!! I never said clean the wood with it... It may not be good for that. Come on blaser tell us what you did. Edited November 16, 2011 by Mike525steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was spraying the trigger and some WD 40 ended up on the stock...by the time I noticed it and wiped it off the stock finish lifted and left a bare patch.

Imperfection Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Quick tip:Keep an old rag which is impregnated with gun oil inside a zip up sandwich bag ontop of your cabinet.Perfect for quick wipe down guns before storing and bag just keeps it moist! As for which brand? Any oil will do and i just use cheap Bisley oil in a spray can which costs around £3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike525steel Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 There's a video I saw somewhere where patrick Flanagan put a line of 3 in 1 down the side of the action on his sx3 flanigun. If its good enough for him I suppose is must be good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I use Browning/Legia Spray So do i. I cannot get using WD40 it does remove bluing slowly away as bluing is in itelf a form of corrosion. It also will remove silver solder no not everytime but if you have and faults in it it will find its way in and under. This has just been discussed in another thread. If your one of the people who think this is rubbish then carry on its your rib- I have seen this with my own eyes, its also very good at removing bolts handles very cleanly creeping under the solder on Remmington 700 rifles I just bought a new extra large 750ml spray can of the browning stuff for £11, how much cheaper is the WD40 a box of shells t most? crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Just picked up a 750ml bottle of Legia for a tenner! That will do the trick cheers fellas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
