So got my first Larue MBT last week. They recommend grease. Any favorite types to use?

I use Superlube on the sear and disconnector contacts. I also use Superlube on the bolt and carrier and sliding surfaces in the upper. I just apply a thin thin thin coat on the bolt and carrier after cleaning. And just a dab with a toothpick to the trigger sears. I like it because it stays put. I don't like oil oozing out of everywhere.

I use Superlube grease also. I add WS2/Tungsten Disulfide to my Superlube and put a tiny smear on trigger and sear contact points and pivot points.
I'm sure most grease would work fine in most situations. |

You want synthetic grease, non synthetic especially old grease will gunk up and trap all the nasty stuff in the wax / soap thickening agents.
This is what you want, a tub will last a lifetime.  
It also works great on bolt lugs, carrier rails and buffer springs. |

Didn't put any grease on mine. A little oil, plus whatever migrates there from the BCG. Works fantastic. Not a fan of grease in general up here in the cold winters.

If a trigger comes with a specific lube, I use it (geissele). If it doesn't, I just put a light coat of whatever I happen to be running at the time.

On mine, Magnalube, just like everything else gun-related.

Brief update; found my tube of TW-25b but didn't need it. When I opened up the can, the contact points on the trigger were already greased.

I use full synthetic motor oil on my firearms (pins and bore lube after cleaning solvents) and Lubriplate Engine Assembly Lube No. 140 or Outboard Motor Lube No. 140 (they are identical) on the BCG and/or bolt lugs.
Phil Woods bicycle chain oil is recommended on bolt lugs as well. It's a tacky oil that stays put. |

Whatever lube you're using elsewhere.
It's EDM-cut billet S7 tool steel, it'll be fine... it's not some cast metal g-trigger. After a general spray of ballistoil on moving parts, I usually put a few drops of Lucas Extreme Oil in the BGG bits and the FCG |
