You anti-WD-40 paranoids are full of ap-cray! It's not magic but it's not the instant gumming monster you've received in your talking points bulletin, either. It's a pretty good bore cleaner, an excellent water displacer(WD, get it?), a good rust preventative, but a poor lubricant(too thin). Spraying it into a filthy repeater's trigger mechanism will temporarily slick it up. After the magic goes away, the resulting gum is not the fault of WD-40, it's YOUR fault, because you didn't clean the old dirt out of the mechanism, in the first place. I've used it successfully for more than 50 years, knowing it's limitations and its intended purpose. Have you even tried it or are you just repeating what some self-proclaimed "gunsmith" told you?
