Does the Rekord trigger require periodic cleaning? If so, what solvent should I use on what part of the trigger, i.e. sear ? My thoughts was lighter fluid which is the recommended solvent for Jewell triggers.

If it working fine I would leave it alone. They will perform for thousands of rounds with no maintenance.
Whenever I have occasion to pull one out, I wipe it down with a little degreaser, then very lightly lubricate the friction surfaces with high quality white grease.

Maybe a dab of grease if it looks dry, but otherwise I leave the Rekord trigger alone. Several of mine have well over 30k shots with effectively zero maintenance.

Well... Probably not , but I use mine alot and under the wood collects dust grit grin whatever from being well used so periodically I snatch it apart for a clean up job / freshen lube . My guns get pretty dirty from usage .
I use a good fast dry degreaser or non chlorinated brake cleaned and flush it out . I don't lube it cause ot just eventually attract dirt dust grime .. lol. The rest of the guns works do it enough ..lol
In the end it's a your call thing on what you feels best for you ..

Honestly unless its gritty or full of cat hair you dont need to service it.
I hose mine out with brake cleaner or wd40 once in a blue moon. Then dissolve a dab of moly grease in some wd40 and spray it in there and blow out the excess. I tried some hex boron nitride powder in the mix and it works great. Some powdered Graphite or moly dusted in there with a puffer bottle wouldn't hurt anything.
I get a little Allen wrench with a dab of moly grease and smear it on the sear surfaces through the window in the housing.
I always put a drop of hot pink nail polish on both sides of the adjustment screw to keep it from walking out. And pinch the housing around the little floating nut to keep it from falling out too.

I have had to clean and relube several HW triggers. The older ones all had old dried-up grease that was almost solid.

The stuff they used in my guns is like wax. Like cosmolene or bullet lube. I've seen it in several triggers. Dried chunks you just have to flush out of there with solvent. I don't think moly or red grease ever dries out like that. White lithium grease will turn to cheese pretty fast but not like that stuff.
The barrels have that waxy brown crap in them too. I think it's the same stuff they mash into the trigger housing before they crossthread the stock screws and ship them to New Jersey.
