What I am looking for is a single stage, non-adjustable trigger, that is 3-4.5 lbs (no more no less). Does the colt match trigger fit these specs?

I know that a lot of "match" triggers are not designed to be put into duty rifles because they either have a tendency to move from where adjusted, are not as durable, have a tendency not to set off hard primers, or worst of all, reduce the trigger pull weight by using weak springs (usually painted yellow). Do you know if this trigger is made for duty rifles? I need one that is absolutely reliable.

How would you compare this trigger to the accuracy speaks trigger? Is it crisp with little take-up and over-travel?  I was considering a Jard, but don't want to jack with the trigger and sear block to get it to fit.  I think the accuracy speaks fits with no modification, and I know that it is a little better than the colt, but I don't want to sacrifice reliability.  I have read that the colts comp's are 4.5lbs, then I read 6lbs.  What gives?  I would like to have a colt trigger cause I love colt and trust their products 100%.  I guess what I am trying to find out though, is whether or not this trigger was meant for range guns or would be recommended to be used in service/duty weapons, and will ignite lake city ammo with 100% reliability, and not wear out.  Also, I really want to get down to 4.5 lbs.  My factory colt trigger right now is an absolutely unacceptable 8.5lbs.  If this trigger is over 4.5lbs, what is it set at and do you think that it will provide a significant improvement over my ridiculously heavy trigger?

If this is a 3-4.5 lb single stage trigger that is as reliable as a factory trigger, than I definitely want one.  I heard that the springs were painted blue.  Do you think this indicates a lack of reliability for purposes other than competition, like for a self-defense rifle?  I would appreciate any input.  Thanks!

Also, if the trigger is say 6lbs, do you think that I will notice a SIGNIFICANT improvement over my crappy 8.5 lb trigger?  And how much better would a 4.5lb be over this or a carbine?

Jard makes a "Non-Adjustable" trigger Kit for the Colts. It comes in either "Small Pin" .154" or "Large Pin" .171" Pin Sizes. It has about a 3# Pull weight. Brownells sells them for $135.00.
Brownells Part # 100-001-597 is for the Colt "Large Pin" .171"

doesn't that trigger require gunsmithing to fit though?  I was originally going to get a Jard, but my understanding was that it would require gunsmithing to fit
