I was adjusting the "feel" of the first stage of my Marauder pistol trigger. I wanted to make it lighter and have a bit more travel before the second stage engaged. While I was at it, I decided to clean and re-lube the entire trigger assembly (I am still learning, this is my first air rifle). I was surprised at how much dried crud, moly paste, grease, crap (whatever you want to call it from the factory) that was evident. I cleaned everything with Ballistol and decided to re-lube the necessary moving parts.
I was told to NEVER use Pellgun oil on a PCP due to potential for exploding or dieseling, BUT, is it okay to use Pellgun oil only in the trigger assembly (sear, link, and metal pivot areas) which I assume is NOT considered in the area of high pressured air? I decided to not use moly paste because I wanted to avoid the aforementioned crud as it dries over time.
I also used a bit of Ballistol on the springs / screws to prevent future corrosion. Overall trigger felt smoother when done. BUT...
Is it safe to use Ballistol and Pellgun oil in the trigger area as part of routine maintenance? Will my rifle explode?
