AR Trigger Grease

[AR-556]

I'm installing a new trigger in my AR-556. I need a good trigger grease to apply to the designated parts. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
BTW, a few people recommended the trigger grease in the link below. Opinions?

White lithium. Spray silicone. Graphite. Motor oil. What's your operating environment? I don't use anything other than a few smears of white lithium when assembling. No problems and smooth.

Personally when I've installed triggers as of late I've just used a little Slip 2000 EWG. Beyond that it has been the grease that was in the little vial that came with an ACT trigger that I got a few years back now. Prior to that, whatever lube that I had laying around. For what it is worth, I think the last SSA trigger I got from Geissele came with their purple go juice stuff, so take that for what it is worth. I wouldn't over think it personally.

As far as the grease you linked, never heard of the stuff. Which doesn't mean much, but for the sake of covering everything....

If it's recommend like by mfg like it says in the ad than it should be gtg. I work on things with sheer forces in the 1000+ ft pound range. So most parts on a gun are easy to pick a lube for. The characteristics of a trigger dont call for much more than a lower viscosity grease with an acceptable upper and lower operation range. Like white lithium, or a silicone lube.

Aeroshell 6 is what Geissele uses (or used) with their triggers.

I recall one of their CS reps sharing that with me a couple years ago. Those little tubes really last a long time, and the product works very well.

Now, with the introduction of their ALG grease, I wonder if they'll still continue to use/recommend Aeroshell, or swap to the "home brew".

A small tube of purpleish oil was included in my Geissele triggers. I assumed it is Go Juice.

I bought a huge tube of Mobil1 grease, it's pinkish. I use it liberally.

I'd like to know what forces are applied across the face of the sear just as the trigger breaks. It's gotta be up there.

I just grabbed the tub of white lithium grease off the shelf in the garage. Used it on barrel threads, not on trigger group. Always just used whatever oil I had handy on the trigger group.
