A friend recently got engaged and I was helping him move out of his house, and into the the house he and his wife-to-be will occupy. We were removing the last of the stuff from his place when he pulled out a box from the attic, opened it, and inside revealed an M1 Carbine that belonged to his late father. His wife to be (she's very anti gun, he's gun-neutral) flips out when she sees the M1, acting as if it was going to load itself and chase them around the house. She tells him in no uncertain terms that she will not be in a house with a gun.
He turns to me and says, "You want it?"
I say, "Will I have to give it back when you get divorced?"
He said, "Nope. It's yours."
He then tells me that it should be in "good shape" because before he put it away (10 years ago) he poured WD 40 down the barrel and into the action. :banghead:
I haven't had a chance to examine it closely, and won't have time to clean it until the weekend, but it looks like somebody poured a mix of caramel, maple syrup, and glue into it. The magazine is stuck, the bolt barely moves, etc.
So, can anyone recommend a good solvent for WD 40?
