More about WD-40

[RED]

It has a long history of not being kind to guns. I agree but have experienced good things when used on some guns. I was at a machine gun shoot in Hot Springs Ark. and the guys next to me were shooting a WWI French Chauchat machine gun. It would hang up and not extract the fired case.

The next day the gun performed excellently while being doused with WD40 while firing!

Recently I got good results by spraying my sub sonic .22LR lightly before loading in the TX22 magazines. It is much easier to do that than extreme clean the gun!

Rem oil spray...light spray on M1 and 1911 just before sustained shooting

i think that gun needed a lubed feeding system

I no longer allow WD near my guns.
Years ago, I used it on my M1 . . . .and it gummed up the rear sight adjustments . . . . . .turning to a “tar-like” substance that made it impossible to turn the knobs!

[lyman]

that Chauchat could have been doused with any lube and run better,

no to the WD,

I use WD-40 to unloosen frozen bolts and screws.

Just for grins and giggles....

Unloosen = tighten

Untighten = loosen
