It has the dreaded petroleum distillates, but also teflon. I use it for everything, and it has not yet caused any damage to plastic parts. Also a product called Rem-Oil, made by Remington. Same kind of formulation. I would stay away from WD-40. It is great stuff for certain applications, but its lubricant is quite volatile, and won't provide lasting lubrication. And Neil, there is a great following here for air weapons, although you're right, the US gun shops typically don't specialize in them.
