Trolling are we? no i have been told by numerous people it is bad for your gun but i have used it forever and its fine and it even saya for use on firearms on the can I have been using it on guns and tools for over 30+ years, and never a problem. Now sit back and wait for the haters.

I prefer rem oil but have used WD on my guns.

Yup, WD gets used alot at MG shoots. Just about everyone's got a can, myself included. It does two things well for MG shooters. First, when crud builds up to a level, far beyond the imagination of most arfcommers, where the gun cycles poorly WD will get carbon back into suspension and allow you to keep going before definitive cleaning/lube. Second, WD is great short-term protection for metal surfaces when a downpour happens. Third, it's inexpensive and ubiquitous.........
Let's review basic WD +/-s: Excellent - water displacement, powder/crud solvent, price. Decent - preservative. Poor - lube. Sam |
