YES!

We at the Gunshop where I worked used to relish the thought of customers who used WD-40 on their firearms.

As a down and dirty method to clean these disasters we would remove the actions from the stock and sprary the action with Brake Kleen and stand back and watch as the sludge would be washed in the parts tank.

We would then re-spray and blow it dry with compressed air. All the crud was now removed, so we could now clean it properly and lubrcate.

Improper cleaning and lubrication of firearms causes undue wear and also causes misfires and sticky actions. In cold weather it will cause actions to slow to a crawl.

Depending on time involved the cleaning job price goes up exponentially when a customer ie: expert, cleans his own firearm.

Definition of expert. Ex= has been and a spurt is a drip under pressure.

One word of warning. If you use Brake Kleen, don't use it on any plastic parts. Otherwise you can do your David Copperfield imitation and watch the parts disappear right before your eyes.

Follow your manual for cleaning, or if you have a reading comprehension problem it's better yet to seek the help of a pro.

Best wishes, Bill
