Is it safe to use WD40 as a lubricant in a PCP?
I was plinking in the rain and noticed that the sliding bolt in my s16 became stiff the following day. I wanted to know if it’s safe to use WD40 to lubricate the bolt? My only concern is that it is might ignite? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sirj,
you should know better.

Well, it seems he does know….
I have a Condor so I’m not much help. 🙁

U might want to post this in the “Other Guns” section.
One of the other dudes will read your post

hang in there
It’s not so much a case of taking offense, more of a timely reminder. Human nature being what it is, people who do this kind of thing get de-sensitized to their own behaviour and gradually escalate it until it becomes insufferable to many others.
Time to reign it in a bit. If you can’t impart knowledge without putting the other chap down, keep schtum.

One way of learning is by asking others who have already learned themselves.
Good teachers (requires a modicum of humility) teach without being condescending. I know, the ego doesn’t get so much fun from doing it that way, but if it stops new members from leaving hardly before they’ve arrived it can only be a good thing, no?
I guess that’s a long-winded way of suggesting you lose the superior attitude. Not everyone is an expert on everything Adam, know what I mean?
if you take offense to that, you should of been around when TOG was still pissing on people 😯

One should know that WD-40 is combustible. One should also know that combustibles will ignite under pressure.
I see it as common sense. At least, it’s something I can put together as so.
Yes, you know that, and I know that, because we learned it somewhere. Maybe you learned it by reading about it, or maybe somebody told you. I wonder how they told you? Did they try to demean you in the process? A little ego-gratifying snipe?
It’s nice to be told something by somebody that doesn’t leave you feeling less than their equal, even if the other person’s attempt fails and you just walk away thinking they’re a cock.
That’s the difference between a good teacher and a bad one. Walt of Hawaii exemplifies the former.

Here’s another reason WD-40 may not be good. WD has a “Carrier” element in it to help it spray easier, and for it travel easier inside parts. This carrier soon evaporates, leaving the remaining lubricant somewhat sticky which isn’t good. This also means dust, dirt ect could adhere to it. So none of this is much good for most parts of a AG.
