WD-40 is a fair solvent especially for stickers and tape residue. It is a good water displacer for ignition wires and the like. It is a lousy lubricant and a poor preservative.
I use Birchwood Casey Barricade for the outside of my guns. It leaves a friendly coating that is nicer to handle, after it dries, compared to any oils. It is very effective against corrosion. I use Weapon Shield for lubricating moving parts.
