Moly-grease vs. Tetra grease?

The majority of installation instructions for the RRA 2-stage trigger that I have encountered recommend lubricating the various interacting surfaces with Moly-grease. I didn't have any at the time when I installed my the RRA 2-stage in my AR lower and single-shot lower for my Bohica, so I used some Tetra grease since it was handy. Unfortunately, I began to notice that the trigger on my AR felt a bit heavier and grittier after about 100 rounds. I greased up the trigger with more Tetra grease again and the feel of the trigger improved, but it still left me kinda surprised how quickly things had deteriorated.

If I switch to Moly grease as is suggested will I likely have to lubricate the trigger less frequently? Or is this something that I just have to get used to doing with these 2-stage triggers? Is Tetra grease even comparable to Moly grease?

Hose the trigger group out with lighter fluid. Then apply a light coat of oil and all your problems will be solved.

Really.

Really? Just oil?

Militec OK?

Yes.....and yes. Just get all the grease out first.

I ended up completely removing the trigger assembly since I wasn't able to get it as clean as I liked. It's back together now, lubricated with Militec. I hate to say it, but I almost think it's worse. I dunno.
