I've
had a few friends ask me how to properly
clean and lubricate a weapon. I will
try to demonstrate the best way to
do these tasks, as my 50+ years of
experience have taught me.
First off, let's get the "WD-40"
question out of the way. For some
reason that I simply cannot understand,
some folks have an unreasonable hatred
of WD-40 and even say things like
"I'd never put that stuff on
my firearms!"
I've been using WD-40 as a cleaner/solvent
and rust preventative for 50+ years
and have never had a single bit of
rust or any other problem with it.
Maybe it is that some folks don't
know what to use it for.
Regardless, it is my primary solvent
when I clean guns. |
