Spoke to JP and all their component triggers work in the jp5. Sometimes they don’t prep and do all the polishing depending on production demand.
Jp makes amazing triggers so I’m going to pull this one and stone then polish per their vids. I’m going to reset the seer engagement and over travel screws as well. It just needs to be refined and some time spent on it.

??? JP actually said they take shortcuts if they get a little busy? That doesn't sound like JP. My trigger was nice, but it was about 1-1/2 lbs heavier than I like. Nice break, nice reset, but too heavy.

Yeah I’m not happy. So I pulled the trigger and am more pissed. They put a short screw in the sear engagement collar that doesn’t even extend through the bottom. This is why I had so much creep because it was “fake adjusted”. From the top it looks like everything is fine until you remove the trigger and look underneath. Only the sear face of the trigger was polished but the disco, hammer hook, and hammer sear surface were not.
I have called them and they asked for pics via email which I sent. Of course they offer to send it in but now I’m without my rifle and have to deal with shipping via FFL. I can do the trigger myself but I shouldn’t have to. I don’t have the necessary screw to fix this trigger but for a different reason they already have some coming to me. Luckily I have a brand new EZ trigger from them I had bought a while back which I had them prep and polish. I hit it a bit more to really smooth it up and sill install this trigger today. I’m going to also install the adjustable safety because the one it came with wasn’t and had a little movement in the trigger with safety on which I don’t like.
Both my gmr13’s are amazing so I am bothered by a clear effort to short cut on this jp5. Putting a fake screw is unacceptable. s#!t happens and I accept that but when someone made a clear effort to cut corners it angers me.
I can assure you that no parts are ever skipped in prep or skimped out on. Every trigger, hammer and disconnecter has a prep process and trigger feel can vary from builder to builder. As for the short rear screw, that’s installed as a plug screw not a fake screw. That rear hole is for “pro” installs which is something you can do yourself if you get the kit but won’t be built unless specified due to very light triggers (2lbs) and safety. Hope that helps.
