| Does anyone make a drop in, after market trigger for M16's? After getting used too RRA 2 stage triggers in my AR's, I really hate going back to the USGI feel of my M16. Thank you. |
| The JP trigger for the M16 is just the standard JP AR15 trigger. You can only buy the JP as a trigger/disconnector set, you just can't use the disconnector. You use a standard M16 disconnecor and hammer with it. JP might sell you a trigger alone, but they would probably charge full retail. |

Gunner1x - No I can't give you a link for the JP trigger, I've been searching for one unsuccessfully myself. When I googled "M16 trigger" I got an old AR15.com thread about after market M16 triggers where someone mentioned Knights and JP. I just assumed they were up on the subject. I haven't even found anyone selling the Knights M16 trigger. I ain't having much luck. |

this guy is a good guy to deal with. check with him. i know he had some not too long ago. hope it helps KAC triggers (M16) |
Brownell's sells the JP trigger. www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=7585&title=AR-15+ADJUSTABLE+TRIGGER+KIT Or you can buy it direct from JP: www.jprifles.com/ |
I installed a JP in my M16A1 three years ago, locktiting it according to the directions after the initial adjustment. I have no idea how many rounds in all calibers I've put through it since then, but it's certainly in four or five figures including countless mag- and drum-dumps -- and the adjustment has not changed one iota. If you install it correctly, I can't imagine it ever needing re-adjustment. FWIW. YMMV.

Nope. I had a fairly new Colt M16 hammer and disconnector (the kit comes with a semi disconector, so you need your own hammer & discon) and the only fitting required was a little polishing on the selector/disconnector faces so it would move a little more smoothly from position to position. The kit comes with both written instructions w/photos, and a CD that is pretty detailed. If you watch the CD and read the book first, you can install, adjust and locktite everything in a half-hour. I set mine for minimum overtravel and it's great -- the total arc of the trigger is so short, it's more like an on/off switch. But on semi it's like the proverbial glass rod breaking -- clean, crisp, very predictable. (Well, it's like a "glass rod breaking" on full-auto, too, there's just so much going on you can't feel it as well.) BTW, JP sells spring kits in three weights: 3lbs., 3.75 lbs and 4.5 lbs. I shoot a lot of 9mm so I use a 4.5-lbs hammer spring and a 3-lbs trigger spring.
