para1445 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Well I finally over-did it on my AR gunsmithing. In trying to shorten the disconnect space and polish it up I cut a little much off and now im getting slam fire problems. I pull the trigger back and fire one round and let the trigger back forward and fire another one. Occasionally it rips off a few rounds from slipping I assume. Would make great for double taps but alas this is very unsafe. So i need to get a new trigger/hammer set and was wondering about an opinion for JP trigger group or McCormick. Its a 16in carbine going to be used for Tatical 3 gun. Also i have a welded or soldered on flash hider. How much trouble is it going to be to heat and break the welds to get a new brake on the gun. i have about 2k rounds through the barrel. I would hate to have to replace the barrel just to change a comp but im wondering if the gunsmith costs would be more than the price of a new barrel.

Larry White Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Beyond the fact that Mcormic does next to nothing for our sport I feel the JP is as good as it gets. Good Product. Would have to see the welds to have an idea what it would take.-----Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 +1 on the jp, not drop in like the cmc, but worth the effort. also I just checked the brownells, shooter connection and cmc websites, brownells shows the cmc trigger out of stock, sc and cmc websites don't even list them.

Bronco Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Another vote for the JP, the one I use has 8 to 10 thousand rounds on it and runs fine. As far as the break goes find a lathe and have it turned down shouldn't be more than $35 to $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Call JP and talk about the drop in vs. the 'normal' trigger. They sell both. They'll install the trigger very inexpensively and quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) OK - I'll buck the trend and vote for the CMC drop-in, straight trigger. I have both, but I like the straight trigger design of the CMC trigger best. I got mine from Cactus Tactical - a BE sponser.

Hey QuicksDraw! Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 +1 On the JP. Excellent trigger and excellent support of the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 +1 on JP. A better trigger and MUCH more support for the sport to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmilk9 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I disagree with the vast majority and think the McCormick is a better trigger for the masses. JP is very finicky if you dont lock tite the set screws. I have seen people in major matches have trigger problems due to this. I havnt tried the jp drop in yet, I will soon and might have to re-evaluate my decision. In conclusion, if you want a drop in trigger and just shoot with no hassle get the McCormick. P.S. Chip has done a few things for the sport of shooting also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Recommend the JP setup and if you really want a modular trigger go with the JP. Currently have 5 different triggers and the JP is at the top of the list. Testing a new two-stage trigger and it is showing promise but it's expensive.

blkbrd Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I disagree with the vast majority and think the McCormick is a better trigger for the masses. JP is very finicky if you dont lock-tite the set screws. I have seen people in major matches have trigger problems due to this. Jp tells you when and how to clean and locktite the screws about 15 times in the very good and precise setup directions. The adjustment screws are set in with RED lock-tite which is just about indestructible. The only people that will have problems with these triggers loosing there adjustment screws are the same ones that will have problems no matter what because they can't follow simple directions and will have problems with everything they shoot being "finicky". The McCormick is a nice drop in trigger with a cool straight tripper option as is the JP however neither will give as nice & crisp a pull as the full JP setup.

nm3gnr Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) +1 again for the JP trigger. I have not tried the JP drop in yet. I installed my JP setup in about thirty minutes and after about 8,000 rounds I have no trouble. I have seen a few McCormick triggers come from factory real mushy and have heard of a few doubling on people. Also have met John Paul and have seen what he and his group have donated to the sport. GO JP ! Good Luck! Edited December 20, 2005 by nm3gnr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBF Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 JP trigger works really well. Be sure to use brake cleaner on the screws and trigger before you loctite it ( don't ask me why I know for a fact that carb cleaner won't work.... ) Travis F.

Dave Marques Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 My 2 : get the full JP set up-Its worth the extra time and trouble -which is not much. The instructions they give you are easy to follow and the result is nothing less than perfect. You only have to adjust it once and it will treat you right for thousands of rounds.
