At my local gun club they have a station where you can clean your gun (shotgun usually) and the stuff they give you to out down the barrel (on a wire brush) and on the cleaning patch is WD-40.est Answer: WD-40 is fine for cleaning your guns. The reasons that I have heard for NOT using WD-40 are: (1) WD-40 will seep into your cartridges and render your primers inert. While soaking your primers in WD-40 will probably ruin them, it is unlikely that spraying WD-40 on your gun will affect your primers.
On 1 January 1901, federation of the colonies was achieved and the Commonwealth of Australia was proclaimed by Australia's first Governor-General, John Hope, at Centennial Park in Sydney. Australia's first Prime Minister was Edmund Barton, who was Prime Minister from January 1901 to September 1903.
The Federation of Australia was the process by which the six separate British self-governing colonies of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and Western Australia agreed to unite and form the Commonwealth of Australia, establishing a system of federalism in Australia.ew South Wales and New Zealand did not join. The self-governing colonies of Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria, as well as the Crown Colonies of Western Australia and Fiji, became involved. South Australia was briefly a member between 1888 and 1890.
