Colt ar15 trigger job
Hello, I talked to a gunsmith about doing a trigger job on my colt 223 ar15. He said that the parts were a 135.00 and labor was 35.00.The parts price seemed high. I thought I saw a kit somewhere for around 35.00. am I wrong or not? Also he said that it would only give me maybe 3lbs or more.I was wanting to be able to go to 2.5 lbs at least if possible.Any answers will be helpful. Thanks Gerald

Your gunsmith is putting in a new trigger system.Eithe a Rock River or a JP I would bet.Trigger jobs can be done on them by you.Get the book"The Complete Guide to AR15 Accuracy" by Derrick Martin and Barrett Tillman.You can buy the triggers yourself and install them.The AR is simple to work on .cpermd 0 -
I installed a JP trigger in an AR and am happy with it. It took a bit of fiddling, grinding and careful adjustment to get right. $35 for labor isn't too much for the effort. The trigger pull is great but it's 3-3/1/2#. If you want a single stage trigger, this may be all you can expect.Jewel makes a trigger that can go a pound or so below the JP but it's double stage and about $50 more expensive. 0 -
yeah, but it's a jewell. 0 -
Hello again,Thank for the response guys.I have a question. How does the double stage trigger work.? I was thinking of going with the jewell but really not sure of the two stage. Thanks Gerald 0 -
The jewell works on ball bearings I believe. It is truly the finest trigger I have ever owned. The two stage trigger has 2 stages of creep before it breaks. I believe this type was desinged for soldiers to shoot with gloves on or to not accidently fire a round in combat because of the stress and tense situations. I could be wrong but this is how I find the two stage triggers to feel. They creep, then they hit a solid point, then they creep, then they break. 0
