Good link Sarge. I learned the value of WD-40 in about Apr 1970 at a time lives were at stake when guns didn't work. WD-40 kept our guns working. On some of the forums there are those who don't like the stuff and preach against it claiming it collects dirt and grime and actually fouls guns. Those folks have obviously never been to far from their shop living in laterite without the convienance of a handy solvent tank. WD-40 was magic in '70 and while it is easy to spend more on products claiming to do the same job, I WOULDN'T. Cheers and Beers and stay out of the trees Chance |

I used to use WD-40 and still do for removing lead from a shotgun barrel with a brass brush and the barrel removed from the action. I stopped using it on moving parts when the gun stopped working. It was a REM Sportsman mod 52. I had to take the action bars out, An action that Rem cautioned not to do and found that the problem was several rubbery balls of gunk seizing up the action. A switch to break free and the gun is still working. |

I've been using this for 20 years in guns and the auto repair business . Read the reviews , 82 five stars , it is the best and there is no other stuff works better then this . Sweets is great on copper , but don't leave it in barrel too long and Hoppe is good if you leave it in the gun over night . http://www.midwayusa.com/product/137...m_vc=U011Swing Last edited by tx gun runner; 02-09-2012 at 06:00 AM. |

Wow, on sale for 7.50. That's inexpensive, a good price I think. I use a lot of CLP. I have like a gallon of it left I think. I also have other cleaning and lubricating compounds So, Do you punch the bore with lubricant on a patch afterwards? . | |

I only leave Hoppe's in my bores only and I run a wet and dry one before shooting . I don't use any lubes in my bores . Hoppe will lift any lead or copper if you missed some on your cleaning if stored with it and will NEVER hurt a barrel .

I have often used WD-40 with good results. I also find Simple Green works very well. I use it on my AR....As far as store bought solvents go, I now skip them since I discovered Ed's Red. I can make a gallon of it for the cost of a pint of the store bought stuff.
