I bought my SSA from Larue and it did not come with directions/maintenance info or lube, so I just called Geissele and the lovely lady there said she would email the directions/maintenance info "immediately" and if I emailed her back my address she would get the lube in the mail to me ASAPCan't get better customer service than that!
Yep, There's more than one way to 'reach out and touch someone".
Phone and email are good too!
So OneUp,
Have you put any more rounds thru it yet? If not, post back when you do and let us know how it's going.

I think you might have me confused with the OP, but I have not yet pulled the trigger (pun intended) on the SSA. I'm still trying to figure out if I'd be best served sticking with the GI trigger or going with the SSA for a non-bench gun. I don't want to trade the reliability of the USGI trigger for a marginal improvement in feel. Most reviews seem to say that's not the case, but then I read about special grease, don't use KNS pins, etc and it starts to sound less like a combat trigger and more like a finicky (there's that word again) match trigger.

No, I received a reliable 2-stage trigger adjusted to 4 lbs. I wish that the 1st stage pull was longer but, that is a personal preference. The hammer lights off 5.45x39 to boot . I don't have to wonder when will it break like some 2 stages or is it going to start doubling like many, many worked over single stage triggers( not me but a friend). I have a better match trigger, but the loctite screw inside does not give me a reliable feeling. Loctite is fine on a range comp gun but, my carbine is a defensive weapon requiring RELIABILITY and I do not think anything lower than 4 lbs belongs on a semi.
I installed and assumed it was lubed b/c of some colored spots on it But went ahead & put some CLP here and there and some TW25 here and there and I think its brilliant. My first Multigun Shoot with it I came in 3rd in the Rifle/Pistol section.I was using an N4 Light Basic with Aimpoint against everyone else's rifle length race guns with powered optics so I was very pleased and believe the trigger helped my shooting immensely! My single stage mil trigger was long heavy which I can deal with but the the creep was so bad (3 bad spots) it would trick me into thinking it was going to break on my longer shots and I would have to double stroke the trigger. Really annoying. 2nd competition with it will be this Sat![]()

I've currently got SSA's on 3 of my carbines. I could claim how good it is but would only by repeating what has mostly been said. I've spoke with my money. In the past I've had RRA, Springfields, and Jard's, all of which I now own zero. I still use an JP single stage on my precision AR and have considered switching it out for an appropriate Giesselle but am not sure there's any reason to on that rifle. I am even considering buying one for my issued full auto if the powers that be will allow it.
I've had some minor issues with 1 of the triggers that frustrated me. I never did call the maker as I thought I resolved it. I have one that the hammer pin kept walking out. I removed it and all looked right, reinstalled, same issue. It was kind of frustrating for me because I couldn't seem to make it right. I'm not even sure that there was/is any issue with the trigger assembly. It could be the lower, which is my oldest, an early 1990's Bushmaster. Anyway, I bought a set of KNS pins and it's been running for the last 1500 rounds without incident. This thread had made me think my fix is wrong and I might need to re evaluate and adjust fire.

My bad OneUp,
I did mean LMT42.
