UserID: 1 |  Re: Trigger Spings For some reason I never noticed that page. I just skimmed it, and it seems comprehensive. I've added a link on my reliability modifications page. Vaseline on screws is a good idea, but I'd be wary of getting it on the screw head. That shouldn't be a problem though. Vaseline on the other parts is a great idea too. The idea should work because it's the same principle chap stick works on. It's basically sealing in and out harmful things. The other benefits of ease of removal of screws and things pulling easier as good too.

UserID: 576 | Re: Trigger Spings Vaseline is a good idea, although you could also use another oil-based lubricant that does not contain petroleum (which degrades many plastics, rubbers, and synthetics). I know iron pipes are generally sold covered in oil to prevent them from rusting. It gets rather messy though. You could clean off the screws with a tissue or Q-tip before unscrewing them.
