JP Springs or Bill Springfield job

[jdscott82]

I don't necessarily need a competition drop in trigger or anything. Looking for people who have had one or both done and what you think would be a better choice....

I had bad results with the springfield trigger in 2 out of 3 rifles, had doubling and tripling and had the trigger drop on bolt release. He stood by his work and returned my money but not worth the safety issues for me, pulled them all out.

What type of rifles did you have work done for?

AR's, bushmater factory, homebuilt with DPMS LPK and a Smith and Wesson AR-22. The bushy was the realy scary one, droped the bolt on a loaded chamber at highpower match and it fired.

It is not very safe to try and get a super light trigger with stock AR trigger components. You just can't achieve adequate sear engagement and keep it light. I can clean them up to where they are smoother and less take up but if you want a really nice trigger get a dedicated aftermarket setup.
It is not worth the risk.

Let BPTactical do your trigger work if you're looking for a decent barely if not any creep trigger on your AR!! He did my trigger on my M&P15T and it's way nicer than factory

The JP springs won't hurt anything, its modifying the engagement surfaces on the stock trigger components that will. I have the JP springs in the few rifles that I still have stock triggers in, and they drop the weight a bit and don't cause any problems.

In fact, if you take the stock hammer and cut the "birds beak" off the back to lighten it up a bit, clean up the engagement surfaces without removing any metal to speak of (I usually just hit it with some polishing compound and a felt bob on a dremel, but some guys start with VERY fine sandpaper first) and switch to JP springs, it does make a big difference.

Obviously I would only do this to a gun that I didn't intend to defend myself with, but I've done it to half a dozen and never had a problem.

I have been thinking about it...Bill is just so much closer though...

I had the same issues. I would not use his triggers again.
