Umarex Lubing the Umarex SurgeMax Elite .22 - WITHOUT taking action apart?

[Nethawk]

Hi all. Not sure if I posted this in the right category. I've included pics of the USME action - my main goal is to try to lube the trigger mechanism using liquid Moly (ain't got nothing better ATM). Looking at the pics, you keen folks reckon it's worth trying to poke a lube-soaked Q-Tip somewhere in there? Worse comes to worse, I'll consider giving a squish of fine graphite powder and let gradual abrasion do the job on this cheapo rifle. But...LOL...I like shooting it. Feels solid and tactical. Good sub-dime groups at 20 yards. Anyhow, thanks.

Forgot to mention that the reason I'm trying to do this is to lower the FEEL of the trigger's pull weight from 4.75 pounds to a nicer 3.something - ideally around 3.5 lbs. I know I won't be able to take any poundage off the trigger pull weight doing a lube job, but if I can influence how it FEELS...

Old timers on the GTA forum will tell you about Genes Sundays Mystery Oil. Take one tablespoon of Moly grease and mix it thoroughly with two ounces of 30wt non-detergent motor oil ( I use Marvel Mystery Oil). Shake well. Serve as needed. Use sparingly on any metal to metal surfaces. Remember, a little Moly goes a long way. I apply this mixture quite liberally with a toothpick or one of the small red hoses from a WD-40 spray can. Then get the parts moving a bit to cause the mixture to flow, and it will flow, attaching to those moving and rubbing trigger parts. Hope this works for ya.

TY RDtricks - this might be just the ticket to a smoother and easier pull
