I put a thin final spray of WD 40 on my rifles, after cleaning. I sprayed it on frozen door locks and auto locks, so they would work. Good in frozen conditions. Once shot a deer in minus 10 weather. Long before you newbies were born.
WD40???? That stuff isn't good for much. Any good machinist or clock builder will tell ya. Much better products out there. WD40 will gunk up on you after a while. Its extremely poor as a corrosion protectant. considering they have totally redesigned WD40 in the past 20 years, they should call it WD41 or 42. So not sure if your arguement about newbies is valid.
