Looking for some pros/cons of some trigger upgrades: Accuracy Speaks trigger and spring system JP Enterprises trigger and hammer JARD RRA 2-stage I'm building up what I hope to be a competition rifle. Looking for the best setup for competing. |

[i]Accuracy Speaks trigger and spring system[/i] Pro: No set screws to come loose. No adjustment needed. Con: No J-pin to keep hammer pin from walking. (Just read this on another thread here yesterday.) [i]JP Enterprises trigger and hammer[/i] Pro: Adjustable for overtravel and sear engagement. Weight adjustable by changing springs. Con: Has set screws. [i]JARD[/i] Pro: Adjustable to lower pull than the others. Con: Lots of set screws. [i]RRA 2-stage[/i] Pro: No set screws. Cheaper than the others. Con: Not adjustable. You didn't indicate what sort of competition you're planning on shooting. Conventional wisdom is that the 2-stage is the best for CMP/Highpower shooting and single-stage is best for 3-gun/action shooting. But I'm sure you can find somebody that says their 2-stage works great for 3-gun and somebody else that says their single-stage works great for precision. I have a JP and like it. Not sure I can say it's $120 better than the $65 trigger job my 'smith did on another AR though. I haven't shot any ARs with a 2-stage, but I might have to get an RRA in the next build to try one out. |

Jewell - hands down the best, but also he most expensive. Very adjustable, like from single stage to 2-stage. Kreiger - nice but a BITCH to install and expensive. JP - single stage, really need to buy the lo mass hammer to get the most out of it which kicks it into the pricey range as well. Have on on a 3-gun carbine -its okay but I don't get all the hype. Bushmaster - yes, they make a DCM trigger. 2 stage, adjustable, cheap (relatively speaking) I shoot one of these on my 'space gun' for highpower and I have no complaints. The Jewell on my service rifle is more adjustable, but its hard to tell the difference... except in your wallet. my.02 worth |

In my own experience (using 2-stage triggers), KAC trigger best hands down - for both my semi's and my M16. You just got to try it and you will understand. I've tried almost all the other 2-stages. My .02 Edited to add the caveat - "If you got the $$$ to afford it". With my parts gun, on the cheap, I probably will just get a RRA trigger. But if you are going to go for it, match grade, go for it and pony up - you will not have regrets. Once you experience the best of anything, something less will always make you sigh and wish you had gone for it. |
