Trigger Lube Question

[AvsFan]

Gent's,

How do you guys run your bolt triggers? Oil? Grease? Dry? Other? I've been running a little Tetra Gun Grease on the contact surfaces of the trigger sear & firing pin on my bolt rifles. However, this weekend I decided to clean up the trigger sears & firing pins with some rubbing alcohol to get ready for some range time. Well, to my surprise, before I re-greased them I tried dry firing a few times...wow, they feel noticeably better (crisp & light) being dry than with lube.

Thoughts

Run'em dry. Actually, some Ronson lighter fluid and 100lbs of air pressure will serve your trigger well. Save the Tetra grease for the bolt shroud threads and a smidge on the bolt lugs. Go very light on the lugs.

^^^^^ this. I also use a dry, graphite based Molly lube in areas that metal contacts metal where i don't want grease/oil attracting spent powder dust, dirt, etc.

I just clean with zippo lighter fluid.
