Air rifle maintenance question


Recommended Posts


wd 40 works verry well i use it all time on my gun makes it look like new dont use a rag use a scowering pad thats what i allways use and it works mint :)

wd40 is water based and makes it worse and doesnt protect 3in1 is the way forward :thumbs:

is it realy i use it all time and it never dose my gun no harm it dose say on the can drives out moister lol

I allways used it my self mate and then some one told me so I looked it up and its seems to be right so I just opt for the 3 in 1 now just to be on the safe side.

think i might now lol thanks pal :)

 

WD's not water bassed, it's a kerosene based carrier with silicon as a lube. It's not best for metal to metal lubrication as it's so thin and silicon's a rubbish metal to metal lube. It's very good at keeping moisture at bay though, it's exactly what it was designed for.

wd 40 i silicone free mate it says it on the can and have done for 30plus years :/

 

You're right, GP. I got my products mixed up :icon_redface::laugh:

 

I am right about it not being water bassed though. The lube's mineral bassed, not silicon.

I only know what I was told(so I checked up with the local iron mongers as well and they said it could well be right) lads but didnt fancie using it just to be on the safe side for the sake of a couple of quid for the 3in1 rather than risk my gun :victory:
