I took apart my Sauer 202 box trigger and it was full of this sticky grease inside, it was eveywhere. There are alot of moving parts to it, so now that I finshed polishing the parts I want to know what is the best grease to put in there, and should I put as much as the manufacturer put in there? Or should I use something else? I will be hunting in temperatures fron 5 to -25 degrees so i would be looking for a grease that will not seize up in cold temps. What is the best method for doing this?
Thanks
Elmer
 
Clean all the moving parts with lighter fluid. Any grease will cause the trigger to become sticky and attract dirt. The film left from the lighter fluid will provide enough lube for your trigger.

Is there not a chance of rust because there is no oil in the lighter fluid?

I have never seen a trigger rust, even with no lube. Small spray of G96 Gun Treatment is good, but no lube at all is ok too.
