| I'm thinking no, but can the standard trigger be adjusted. |

Adjusted how? Sorry I don't mean to be obtuse. see this thread it may help answer you questions and i can also personally recommend his work. He has done one trigger for me and I have 3 more to send him. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=346341 S |
absolutely! i don't think that i know enough about it to try it myself but it can be done and when done properly it makes for a nice crisp break when you pull the trigger. see my post above for someone who can do it, not trying to sell his service, but at least read what people say about him. you can always find someone else that can do the same.

Yep, get the JP reduced power springs. That and a good polishing job on the sear/trigger/hammer engagement area will give you a VERY nice and crisp trigger pull on a single stage trigger. I used red rouge and a dremel with a polishing wheel to polish the engagement surfaces. The JP reduced power springs comes with a little instruction sheet on what to polish. Took about 30 minutes and I now have a very nice, crisp light trigger. |

Just polishing the engagement surfaces and putting in a JP spring kit will not give you a nice crisp trigger. It will give you a lighter trigger pull with a bunch of creep. If you want to do it right follow these steps. 1. Remove your pistol grip and don't lose the safety detent and spring.Remove your hammer ,disconnecter, trigger, and safety 2. If your receiver is not threaded all the way through the pistol grip screw hole you will have to buy a 1/4x28 tap and tap the hole all the way. 3. buy a 1/4x28 set screw 4.Polish your hammer and trigger engagement surfaces. Do not change any angles or remove any material. Your hammer and trigger are surface hardened an if you break thru to the softer steel your trigger job will not last very long. 5. Install your fire control parts including your JP springs and safety. 6. Install your set screw in the grip hole and run it in till it engages the tail of your trigger. Cock your hammer and engage the safety. Turn your set screw in until it bottoms out. Back it out 1/16 of a turn and test your trigger to make sure your disconnecter and safety are working properly. 7. If you haven't jacked up everything by now remove the set screw and apply blue Loctite to the threads and reinstall it to the same position. 8. If you don't know what your doing do not attempt this procedure. 9. If your not a complete Idiot and have a little mechanical aptitude you will end up with a very nice trigger for about $15 bucks. |
Some people experience misfires due to light primer strikes. I have never had a misfire using JP springs. I only use my rifles for varmint and target shooting with handloaded ammo. If your using military ammo for personal defense I would use the standard fire control springs. |
