Ok I have owned a 4lb trigger, but is there any reason I shouldn't get a 3lb for a target rifle?  I mean has anybody had problems with their 3lb vs. a 4lb trigger?  Light primer strikes, etc...

I think I want the 3lb because of the lighter pull but before I do want to make sure its not going to have any issues.  Can you still rapidfire with the 3lb pretty good?  (not bump firing, but I mean fire with about .5sec between shots)

I have 4 of his 3 lb triggers, only thing is I run a Wolff hammer spring. I run the in 3 gun and carbine matchs, they work great.

I had a couple of light primer strikes on my 3# trigger. Had a couple of rounds that I couldn't set off even with multiple strikes.

Popped them into my other rifle, they went bang.

I never pursued fixing the issue because I bought a Timney trigger. I suppose when I put Bill's trigger back in to another rifle, I'll figure it out then. My guess is the Wolf extra power spring or Jard's AR10 hammer spring will fix it.

Bill's trigger job weights are not accurate, the 3lb will yield a 4lb and 4lb will get you a 5lb trigger.  Give or take.  The only difference between his 3 and 4lb trigger is the yellow JP trigger springs, per Bill.  For the money, still the best deal around.
