When I installed my SSA I dabbed a little grease that they sent with it. I'm not sure I've ever consciously lubed it since then. I do use Fireclean, but I generally only lube the BCG. It has seemed to work just fine for several thousand rounds fired.

I use the grease that came with the trigger, just a small amount in the areas shown on the diagram. That sample will last a while considering how little is needed.

Same here and I agree, that grease will last for years.

On all my G triggers (SSAs, SSA-E, DMR, S3G) I oil the pin holes and use the G grease that's included. I tried not greasing the recommended spots, and it seemed like the trigger weight felt heavier and less smooth. I realize it is not actually heavier, it just felt that way.

I use FireClean, but only on the BCG, and I run it relatively wet. Since I run 99% suppressed, I clean the lower quite often and make it a point to regrease all recommended spots with the included grease.

For those of you using fireclean are you using fireclean on the trigger as well, or are you using the grease that geissele ships with the trigger? I tried search this site as well as a few others and came up empty.
Thank you for your time.

I use it on everything. Geissele trigger included. I'm not really a trigger snob, but it seems fine to me?

Same here. This is also the way I lubed the trigger before I started using Fireclean.

I primarily shoot suppressed. On average shoot 500 - 1k before cleaning and if I am really lazy I just blast the upper and lower with gun scrubber. I then do a very light relube of everything with fireclean including the trigger as the gun scrubber completely pulls all oil out of the system. After that I go back and grease the trigger with the grease that geissele ships per the install directions.

I like fireclean but seems to get sitcky when it sits over time. Works on BCG but for triggers I would go with what Geissele recommends....they seem to be the gold standard when it come to ar triggers

Thanks for all of the replies. Seems like their recommendation is definitely the way to go.

Never knew anyone sold it outside of the large shell containers, thanks! I still have a bunch though.

I use lubri-plate grease or oil on my G triggers.

I use a 70% molybdenum disulfide grease. Works great as anti seize for barrel nuts, too.
