I forgot to mention in my other post about WD40. I have a friend that has been a gunsmith for 40+ years. He loves for people to use WD40 on their guns especially semi autos. It has made him lots of money. When the wetness of it dries up it leaves a hard wax that will gum up and stop things from working properly. It may be fit for a squeaking door hinge but it will NEVER be used as a lube on one of my firearms. The only time I have ever used it on a firearm was when I got caught out in a frog strangling rain storm turkey hunting. I striped my Rem. 1100 down and sprayed to displace any water (WD40 stands for water displacement try number 40) that was still present after wiping out. Then I properly lubed everything up with gun oil. WD40 also works pretty good as a starter fluid sprayed into the carburetor of small gas engines. Was out fishing in my John boat and had a problem with the fuel system. I had a can of WD40 I was using for another purpose in the boat. I got it out sprayed it into the carburetor and pulled the rope and it fired up and I kept giving it a shot to keep it running put it into gear and kept spraying it until I got to the shore before the can ran out. Beat trying to row into the wind to get to shore. Redneck ingenuity.
