I have seen metal parts of various kinds rust in a pool of WD40. There are very few uses for this product in my humble opinion.

The whole story is WD40 = Water Displacement, 40th formula (that's when they were satisfied with it and quit).

Like Richard I also use automotive grease on the hinge pin and other critical areas. I use the red synthetic grease. I like the color. Buy a big tube of it (automotive), put some in a baby food jar, and you have a lifetime supply of hinge lubricant for a few pennies. Use the rest on the car, lawnmower, or tractor.

White lithium grease loaded into a large syringe (minus the needle of course) gets your lube where you want it and not all over your hands. Ask your veterinarian for one next time you take Fido in for his shots or make friends with a nurse the next time you are in the ER for a sprained back doing something you should have paid someone else much younger to do.

After I disassemble and scrupulously clean my guns, I apply a good gun grease to pivot points and other high stress areas. I rest assured, knowing that the gun will stay in a state of readiness for quite some time, and that oil will not be seeping downward into the head of the stock.
