Re: geissele problem
Are you saying that the second stage takes 5 pounds to break on top of the 2.5lb fist stage? The total pull weight should be around 5lbs

Re: geissele problem
this is the trigger you have correct?

I have a few giessele's and the first thing that id do is take it back out, clean it with something like CLP, and then use the supplied grease on the sear.
One of my SSD-E's had some sticky type grease on it and needed to be cleaned after i installed it and it was not what it was supposed to be.

Actually, the Geissele SSA has a pull weight of 4.5# and the Geissele SSA-E is 3.5#.
To the OP, you need to do as others have advised and apply the grease on the areas instructed and dry fire it until it feels right. This will limber the springs up and they won't be quite as stiff.
