| Im surprised that i havent seen more topics discussing this but has anyone had any work done or replaced parts on their JLD's to lighten the trigger pull? Everyone who owns a JLD knows that out of the box trigger pull is a bear. Over 10lbs!! Thats pretty heavy, especially for a guy whos other rifle is a rock river ar15. Better yet has anyone done their own trigger job? Let me know where, how, and how much? Thanks |

I used Williams Trigger Specilties, and have been very satisfied. I got the WTS Contoured Trigger on my 91. May get it upgraded to WTS Set. I have also heard good things about Bill Springfield. HKO |
I kinda like the two stage pull on my PTR. I did have Williams do trigger work on my Greek SAR3 about 10 or so years ago and I recomend him also. What I think is more usefull is having a paddle mag release installed. Ralph Smith at RDTS did my SAR3 and I had him do my PTR here just a couple of weeks ago.

Ask and Ye Shall Receive.... I can set you up on the trigger work, runs $35 each, option to minimize the trigger slack take up and over travel is $14ea. USPS Prioity mail works well. Return shipping is included, I only need the trigger pack and selector switch. My address is: Bill Springfield 4135 Cricket Ct. Colorado Springs, Co 80918 [email protected] Bill did Great Improvements to my PTRK BIGGER_HAMMER

Well considering that my PTR91K will be used for more for shooting down the range than anything else i really cant justify spending close to $250 for Williams trigger system versus $55 for Springfields work. Besides this many people making recommendations must speak for his work. Unless theres someone out their that says otherwise??? BTW Bill if your reading this i sent you an email. |
Bill, sent you IM. (actually the system screwed up and sent multiples) Just want to confirm details before I ship out my trigger assy. |

"The pull weight is still more than I want but it is an awesome improvement considering the minimal cost. Just guessing mine went from 10-12 down to 5-6" Same here, got mine back today - no creep or slack and about 1/2 the pull of the factory JLD trigger. Well worth the $$$ EE |
| Just picked up my package from my mailbox from Bill last night. It must have arrived this past Saturday. That was superfast considering i sent it out the previous wednesday. And of course, i installed the trigger pack into my JLD that very same night i received it. The first thing i noticed was there was definitely minimal creep and neglible amount of slack. Felt like the hammer dropped almost immediately. Trigger pull was definitely less the 11-12 lbs it used to be. But more than my RRA AR15. It felt like a 5-6lb trigger,basically. Im hoping to take it down to the range sometime soon pending the weather and let everyone know my first impression. I would, hands down, recommend Bills work at this time. |

JLD = JLD Enterprises the premier maker of HK 91 clones PTR = Precision Target Rifle, or the name they gave their clone, the PTR91 Six months ago I had never heard of either and I find myself this morning owning a pair....with Bill Springfield trigger jobs I might add |
|
Bill did a trigger for me on a 91, very nice job, very quick. Have fired about 200 rds since the trigger job, the rifle shoots like a whole different beast can easily shoot 4" groups at 200 yards with mil surplus ammo , iron sights. So, you definitely get all the bang for the buck and then some. |
