| Just ordered one for my 300 BLK. Now I get to know the truth about installong one. I did not get the ambidextrous, adjustable selector. Has anyone had any major problems installing one? |

If you ordered the original kit you have some fitting required and adjustment of set screws. If you bought the EZ, there is no fitting, just adjusting the set screws. I have an EZ, and it was just that.
By far the best AR trigger I have tried and that includes Geissele and Timney. |

I guess I'll just deal with the H.A.R.D. kit. 
Metal working doesn't scare me at all –– even precision work. |

It's here! I've watched the DVD a couple of times and had it in and out several times to get the technique of setting the set screws down before putting the Loctite on them. The only work I had to do was on the disconnector and that was quite easy. According to my $10 trigger pull scale, it's right at 3.5# using the yellow spring set.
Tomorrow I'll degrease the whole thing and do the final install. Then off to the range. |

Did it get adjusted to your very liking thus far? It's pretty close. Setting the overtravel screw is fun. You need one hand to keep pressure on the trigger, one hand to turn the allen wrench and one hand to prevent the hammer from slamming forward. I stuffed a folded paper napkin into the lower to cushion the hammer and then worked the screw. That worked fine. |

DONE!
After several trial fits I finally grew balls and put on the Loctite. Within a few minutes it was over and I have a grin on my face –– kinda like sex.
There's almost no creep and it breaks very cleanly at 3.5# with very little over travel. There is NO noticeable movement in the trigger when the safety is engaged. Just as advertised. Now I get to wait for the Loctite to set up. I really like the feel of the trigger now. It's not the 2.5# glass rod that I have on my Rem 700 .308, but it's plenty good enough. |

Watch the Video read the instructions,,, great trigger,,, I have more than a few of them. JP is also a real shooter,, a 3 Gunner, and a great person! I feel good about supporting a business like that! I met him at the Mystery Mountain match here in AZ this year. Great guy, always asking shooters with his products how they like it, gave some very helpful little tips to lessen problems during a match. Quoted:

You have the speed hammer? 3.5 is plenty light for an AR. I think it is too light for 3gun so I run the yellow red combo and ensures good primer strikes with any ammo. You should be able to have zero creep in the trigger. I don't remember having to have the trigger squeezed while adjusting. I just made the turns a little at a time and tried the trigger between each turn. If its set to your liking, that's all that matters. |

I have had just about every trigger kit made and for the decent price the jp is great. I have several jp triggers now and they even work good in pistol caliber and dedicated 22 builds. Be careful with the 22 uppers mine works fine with my CMMG conversion but it would not work with a friends CMMG dedicated upper he ended up getting a dedicated lower for it because it took the standard fire control group to function. |
