I use WD 40 a lot for cleaning the exterior and easily accessible workings of guns, fishing reels, etc. But for cleaning and lubricating interior, less accessible, areas I like to clean with Ballistol and then lube lightly with rem oil or other spray lubricants. There are lots of good ones out there these days. WD-40 does seem to gum up after a while and that's the last thing I want inside my guns.
Not to hijack the thread, but one really good use I've found for WD 40 is knife sharpening. It cleans whetstones really well and acts as a good cutting oil while sharpening.
