Sauer 202 triger unit removal

[Howzat]

Can anyone advise me on how to remove the trigger unit from my Sauer 202,
I have pushed out the two grabber roll pins that locate the unit in the action
but it only drops down about a quarter of an inch but wont release completely,
any ideas ? the reason I want to remove it is because the safety buttons go
solid on very cold mornings and it cant be fired

are you planning to lubricate them with something that doesn't freeze?

 

[Howzat]

No just ordinary gun oil , it may be there is corrosion in there causing it
therfore the need to see whats happening

Did you manage to remove the trigger unit? I'm looking to get mine cerakoted, but he doesn't know how to remove it....is it possible without any special tools?

just de-grease with lighter fuel or similar and then use the correct lubricant which will depend on the item, is it moving,is it under pressure and its material of manufacture normal oil or gun oil are not the way to go remember WD40 is a water displacing fluid not a release agent or lubricant

Did anybody complete this , I'm intrested asI want to swop my unit from one rifle to another which I use more than the other , better click on safety !!!

Just google Sauer 202 Exploded diagram and you should see how it all fits together. Have at some of mountain bike dry lubricants - non clogging etc. But a trigger should not need any lubrication - you need an element of friction to make it safe. Lighter fluid is very useful for cleaning.

To remove the trigger ,first take the action out of the stock, punch out the two pins holding it. Remove the small alien key bolt that screws into the safety set button holding the lever in place, now press up on the bolt release button holding it in this position, now you can wiggle the trigger out of the action, simples.

That’s an old thread resurrected! how did you stumble on it?

Bit of a bugger if he's still not got the trigger out after 7 years ....

Sold the Sauer after 20 years of ownership, never got the trigger unit out, just oiled it worked ok afterwards, bought a Shultz and Larsen much better rifle in my opinion.

I was looking myself for the answer and eventually worked it out and as nobody had answered the question I thought it might help somebody in the future,

Can I ask what you think makes it better as I was the exact opposite! I thought the S&L felt slippy compared to the 202 and the build quality felt far better on the Sauer…

That should say “sloppy”….
