CH, you are not the oddball you think. I have been using WD-40 exclusively on all my guns since shortly after it came to market. I too have never seen any of the varnish claimed. I have two doubles among others, one has over 100,000 rounds through it and the other in excess of 80,000 and neither have ever had a speck of rust nor have either ever needed a repair. I guess the hinge pins on these guns did not read the warning that WD-40 is not a lubricant. Both are nearly as tight as the day I bought them. My grandson will be shooting them someday.
Brownell's did a small study quite a few years ago to test the corrosion resistance of different products. WD-40 came in second only to cosmoline and similar long storage products.
Use any product you wish but for me, I'll stick with my blue and yellow can.
