Blackstone45 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Magpul make two types of their D50 drum mag, one shorter/stubbier version for PCC, and a longer one for handgun. Does anyone know if the PCC drum mag will fit the JP-5 with the TF fattie magwell? Link to comment

That's what the longer 30+ big sticks do anyway. Link to comment

Blackstone45 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 So...did anyone here actually follow the JP PCC barrel break-in process? Link to comment

If the barrel break-in process is "shoot the $^@% out of it" then yes. I'm in the camp that says that for non-precision (sub-moa) barrels manufacturers provide break-in instructions because customers want break-in instructions. Link to comment

I probably have over 6 JP barreled / rebarreled rifles now. I've done the break in process once on the first rifle I bought from them. Since? na Link to comment

lroy Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 How does the jp trigger compare to a sd3g? i have the modular set and the pull feels a little heavy to me at 3.5lbs. The reset isnt bad, though. is the sd3g lighter? I always see it being recommended as the go to. Link to comment
cferree Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I've ran both and actually like the a factory JP with a straight blade the best. The pull weight was close to the same, but I liked the JP reset better. I think it's personal preference. Too bad the Hiperfire Eclipse is a no go! Link to comment
Keyst0ne Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The SD3G is much better than the standard EZ trigger on the off-the-shelf models. I was pleasantly surprised by the JP Fire Control Group setup I got in one of my JP5s, but I swapped it with the SD3G so all my JP5s have consistent triggers. Link to comment
Boomstick303 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 After running the SD3G for the last shooting season in my JP5 it has been amazing. It has been the first and only Geissele trigger. I am not known for my splits, but numerous times last season people commented on how fast my splits have been. I did not have any huge expectations for the SD3G, as I understood it was a rock solid trigger, but the speed of the trigger has been so impressive, I am thinking about ditching all of my Trigger Tech Triggers in my ARs and switching to the SD3G. I used to think I was not a guy that required trigger reset force to effectively get decent splits, but the SD3G has me rethinking that. The main reason would be Trigger reliability, and running the same trigger in all of my rifle platforms. Link to comment
WxGuy Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Interesting. What is your spring setup? Thanks. Link to comment
rtr Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) JP-5s seem to be out of stock everywhere. Anyone know why and or anywhere that has them? Edited January 16 by rtr Link to comment

That should put the pull weight at 3-3.5lb The Sd3g is supposed to be 3.5lb With that in mind, what is it that the Sd3g does better in your experience? Link to comment

Blackstone45 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Well after 2 years of waiting, I finally got my hands on my JP and took it to the range. WOW I know some people described it like shooting a 22, and while I was skeptical, I can see what they mean. While the felt recoil is certainly more than a 22, the dot movement was minimal and similar to when I shoot my 22 AR-15. Have a 70 degree locker in, shooting 115gr blazer out of an 8" barrel. Brass is coming out about 4 feet so I think I might have a small amount of operating room to play with when the SCS spring set arrives. I'm noticing the dot does not jump up, but jumps right, so I'll need to figure out what's causing that, and re-watch Max's carbine mastery videos on the supercetca channel. Link to comment
