Hopedale, sell your Maxus to Elder
Elder, Its experienced  , so the price is high $$,$$$.$$. Just go get a new one.  Hunting with it twice a year doesn't equal experience, if anything it'll go cheaper due to lack of use Now what makes you think I only go twice a year?

That guy needs to quit spewing crap. WD40 is one of the best things to spray on the outside of your gun before and after duck hunting. How many times has someone went hunting and got their gun wet and then put if back in the case? Especially if you are traveling. Spray the outside down with wd40 and it will not get that surface rust. I spray mine down all the time and also when it is going to be stored for a good part of the year. When storing, I also spray the inside heavily. I do clean it before using because it will gum up after getting hot. But to say there is no part of the shotgun for WD40 is just ignorant. It will dry out rubber gaskets if your not careful Especially if you store your gun in a place that is not controlled environment like a garage. My first summer in Texas cost me several items. My waders were ruined by the heat in the garage, along with my peep sight on my bow and a few other items (seal on my 1187 too).

On second thought, it sounds like Pitt really knows his stuff about the proper treatment and care of hunting gear. Forget everything I said about wd40.

Well I don't know hayraker. He did say it wore out the seals on his 1187, and bobo said WD40 would wear out rubber

I'll play the wd40 game.
I don't use it on my guns, but I don't think it is bad for guns (at least outside). My uncle lives and hunts on the coast (notorious for ruining many guns). He has had the same remington 1100 for 20-30 years and it still looks new. I was shocked when I asked him how he keeps his gun so nice and rustless hunting on the coast and his response was "I just spray it down with a little wd40."
For the original post: My beretta 390 would get gunky, and wouldn't cycle very well and I was using CLP brand gun cleaner. I switched to Rem-oil, and it is far more reliable and I don't have to strip it down as often.

True. When I got out of the shower this morning I sprayed myself down with WD40 to dry off

The solution to your problem is simple. Just take it in to a gun store and have them remove the Maxus and replace it with a Cynergy. Mud/blood/rain/dirt/too little oil/too much oil/even WD40 makes no difference, it will always go BANG!

Heaven forbid you shoot a 3 1/2" BB Blind Side from your Cynergy......might take you shoulder off! They are a sweet gun, I just can't take the recoil.

On second thought, it sounds like Pitt really knows his stuff about the proper treatment and care of hunting gear. Forget everything I said about wd40. I came from up north where it didn't get so hot and new houses came with garages that were insulated. I used my third car garage to store hunting gear up there without any issues. I quickly found out that the Texas sun will ruin your plastic/rubber gear very quickly when stored in a garage.
