Hi,
WD40 is just a little bit mineral-oil dilutet in a lot of petroleum/kerosene.
It´s not an "anti-oxidant" in the sense of a reducing agent (=>redox). Just in the sense of corosion-inhibition by water-repelling/diffusion barrier.
I have used it for years as weappon-oil. There was no adverse effect to any "gun-blacked" surfaces. The "gun-blacked" surfaces (whole barrel) of my .223Rem is just perfect after jears. Just as the gun-blacked surfaces of my 9mm.
