I just take the barrel and action out of the stock, then clean any fouled areas on the breech block. I don't worry much about the very simple trigger design--maybe use some q-tips to wipe it off and some dust remover (canned air) to blow any small plant material etc. that got in there.

You know that is an excellent question because I had to send my Omega back to the factory because the hammer would not hold back. The problem, blow back from around the primer corroded the sping in the hammer/trigger assembly. I called the tech that worked on my gun andasked him what went wrong, that is what he told me. Now that said, I would say that area should be cleaned. I am not sure how to take it apart and clean it. Chap Gleason

There are a couple pins that can be removed to remove the hammer/trigger assembly. When I had an Omega I usually just took a paper towell and placed it so crud from the breech couldn't get into the trigger when cleaning. About every couple of months (depending on how much shooting I was doing) I would spray the whole mechanism (with stock removed) with WD-40 and then blow it out with compressed air. Every 6 months to a year I would remove the pins and give it a good bath in boiling water.
Not sure what you call the pins, but they have a groove milled in them and a set-screw locks them in place. To remove, back the set-screw out a few turns and they should drop right out.

I have a Lyman Mustang that would require a major dissassambly to get the trigger mechanizm out. My regular cleaning routine it totake thebuttstock off and give the receiver a good blast of carburator cleaner throughthe trigger area andthe firing pin hole - followed bya blast of Rem oil. Keeps it clean as a whistle.
