wymberley Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Shouldn't be a problem, its a high grade lubricant Could try some KY though I always thought that WD 40 was nothing more than a water displacement fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 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. Many oils are hydroscopic so it would pay to replace the rag on a frequency basis.

Gimlet Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 WD40 leaves a sticky residue which attracts dirt, it is also perishes certain synthetic materials. I know if you spray it on motorcycle forks it rots the seals in about a week. Doesn't sound like something I'd want to spray on to a firearm.

smokinggun Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I am a very new shooter but i have been using 3 in one oil as my Dad who was shooting since his teenage years told me you only need a thin oil and he just used a cheap dropper can of thin oil on all his guns which kept them in good nick.

VicW Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I use good quality car engine oil.It has all the right properties. It is heat resistant,has the same viscosity whether it is hot or cold,it sticks to the surface it has been applied to without running off and is resistant to the heat and products of combustion. Vic.

Catweazle Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I use Legia on the outside and for loosening fouling around the forcing cone, and Milpro7 for working parts. I wanted Breakfree CLP, which is supposedly excellent, but it didn't arrive from Midways. When I complained about the delay they refunded my money and sent me the Milpro7 free, it seems to be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
