Lubricating a BSA Standard piston sear

[45flint]

Will be putting my respringed BSA Standard back together soon. Do people put any lubricant on the piston sear?

I usually keep the parts from a disassembled project, once cleaned, in a container with a lightly oiled piece of lint free cloth. So, by default bits go back with a film if oil on them. Not much but they do have some oil on them unless deliberately being denied, Ie things that don't get on with mineral oil. Just my method.

I use a sticky moly paste on sears.

I have some just didn’t know if it was too slick for a sear?

Reducing friction is good, because that means less wear.
Any sear/trigger that needs friction to stay safe is an accident waiting to happen, and needs work!
