If you use WD-40, be sure to remove all traces of it before reassembly.
After it evaporates, it leaves a sticky residue which will gum up the
works. I have several guns brought in for repair with gas pistons literaly
glued in place by having been sprayed with WD-40

something better. WD is slow and requires a lot of manual cleaning to
completely remove all the goo. Keep in mind that some of the parts are
plastic so I don't want anything that would soften it. Any recommendations?
