Finman Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I just spray mine (both of mine actually...) with Wd40 as soon as they are off the gun and leave them to dry before storing. Had them for more than 1000 shots each and no problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Use a good quality gun oil in spray form such as break free clp , Brunox, Express etc etc. These have lubricating qualities. WD40 has very little lubricant in it. Its a water displacer [ thats what WD stands for ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yes, WD40 is a mixture of White Spirit and mineral oil, with relatively little oil. It's seldom a good choice for anything firearm related. I use a big spray can of Browning Legia oil, but as baldie says, almost any gun oil will do the job.

Atb Ed Ed. I did on one occasion wash an AU-S5 in petrol. It certainly removed some gunk but it was a pain to ensure all the liquid came out of the moderator. I have a Jet-Z, I have never cleaned it and don't intend to. I generally lay the moderator above a radiator or in the airing cupboard if its been out in the wet.
