Corey Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'm thinking of getting a trigger kit from Bill Springfield for my AR. While the trigger in it currently isn't horrible, a cleaner break with a lighter pull wouldn't hurt What weight triggers are you running in your rifles? I know a lot of people like to go low on pistol triggers, but how low should a person go with a rifle trigger? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I have shot anywhere from 2# to 3.5#, it has more to do with the type of break than anything for me. several of my rifles have 2 stage triggers, and I have no problem with them, a 2 stage trigger is much like pulling on a glock trigger just get used to it and you are ok. I buddies rifle has a JP in it that feels much lighter than my JP trigger but I believe it is the same only a much cleaner and crisper break. whatever you use just get used to it and you will do better. my pistols are all 2#-2.5#, and my SG's are all stock. trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 trpr knows his rifle stuff. In my Bushmaster that had a decent trigger I put the JP 3.5# springs ($9.00) and it lightened the trigger up a lot and it feels pretty good around 4-5# and fairly crisp. I did this after I had a good compensator and after I had a good optic which I think need to come first or all at once. I don't know that the trigger did anything for me in results, but the comp and optic made a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Im looking into some optic options right now as well (see my other thread, haha). for now im just planning on using my 16" un-comp'd rifle as an intro to 3gun setup until i can figure out what i want/need in a true 3-gun setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Tischauser Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I have never measured the accual weight but I have 2 JP's that are under 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil G Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I have a Chip McCormick single stage modular trigger that breaks at 3.25 lbs in my Ar-15 and really like it. It has run great with zero problems since I installed it several years ago. The single stage is crisp with very little take up. I find it easier to control than a two stage trigger.

TruePunisher Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) My JP trigger breaks just over 3.5 pounds, it was set up at the factory as their "enhanced reliability" trigger. Edited May 4, 2010 by TruePunisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twodownzero Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I use an RRA two stage, and I really like it. Just about anything's better than a GI trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aessu Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Lighter the better. I like the Jard 1½# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Jard 2 pound in my competition gun. I have a bill springfield trigger in my SBR and with the bobbed hammer is 100 percent reliable. I also have a JP in a gun as well. I prefer the jard over the others and feel bill springfields is on par with the JP and much less money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
