Why do people freak out when mentioning using WD40 to clean and lube?
I can't see how it would be worse then nothing, does anyone use it here?

I do, works wonders in cleaning my AR and WASR10.

It can damage certain plastics and rubbers, for example those in a Remington 1100.
It also doesn't do much as a protectant after the fact.
Does clean well though.
I've only seen people freak out at people using it as a lubricant, not so much as a cleaner.

It's a water displacer more than a lubricant. I use it to displace water after cleaning corrosive salts out of my Nugget (I use hot water and Murphy's Oil Soap for that) but follow it up with proper cleaning and oiling.

And that's about it

Exactly. FANTASTIC cleaning product. For lubricating however you would be better off with any number of other products

Because I make a lot of money on cleaning guns when morons use WD40 on guns and it gums up
But do go on
Use it and pay me to clean your guns

>MFW to clean and lube my BP revolver I just pop the cylinder out and squirt the fuck out of the trigger group with WD40

Relax Tom, the ballistol guy isn't here to see your shame.
Because it's a shitty lubricant. It's good as a solvent though
>>29586192
becuase its a solvent and not a lubricant
>>29586192
Because it's a solvent. Not a lubricant
>>29586526
yeah i doubt this or you would post pictures of gum'd up guns here
>>29586800
Yes, because I take pictures of every gun that comes through, and of course there's ALWAYS a gun in the shop that was lubed with WD40, and of course I work until 7PM, and OF COURSE I browse 4chan at work
