I'm not going to argue whether WD40 is any good at 'lubricating', that isn't what the OP asked. He asked if it was ok to use to wipe the gun down with. I use it all the time for a wipe down. WD dries up fairly soon after application and leaves a fine film on the surface. It doesn't build up like other oils and each time it's wiped down, it re-emulsifies the old coat. I have never found it to be harmful to a damascus pattern, bluing, or wood finish. Others like Ballistol. I don't.
