JP yellow make the pull lighter, they don't make the 2 pieces of 2" concrete rubbed together feeling go away
I have a jig coming to do AR std triggers. Will see how it goes
The RRA 2 stage IS a nice trigger for the money... It's basically 2 stage of what I hope to be able to do

[scaggly]

I still have one of the very earliest NEA triggers lurking in the parts box. If you ever decide you want to put your jig to it's ultimate test just let me know. If it can fix that trigger, it can fix anything anyone else can throw at it!

It would be nice if the standard AR trigger parts were properly hardened, rather than case hardened, so you could have at it with a stone and file.

If they were just case hardened then the sear surfaces would be well through any hardening when they are machined.
The sear wouldn't be nice and shiny either
The sear has been machined post hardening whatever the hardening extent is
They are a lot harder in the centre than most people believe.
Somewhere there is an article that puts most of these myths to bed by hardness testing of a sectioned trigger

The issues with GI spec triggers are:
Sear angle
Sear alignment
Sear engagement
These can be overcome or more-so turn a military spec trigger into a nice bench or target trigger with a jig with the proper geometry setup and a couple more tricks.


I've had some nice eg: DPMS; triggers and the next one out of the packet absolute rubbish - worst I've felt in a long time.

Thanks chaps for the suggestions.
Timney would be nice but at 400 I think it suits higher end ar.
I have an RRA so maybe I'll browse Brownells and see whats available.

Is there any issue ordering or potential custom issues with trigger imports?

Get the JP trigger and try it with your existing hammer. If you want better then order the JP hammer too.
All mine have JP triggers

Brownells seem to be sold out of the two stage RRA trigger.

We have Patriot Ordinance Factory (POF) and Wilson Combat 2 stage aftermarket triggers in the next shipment. The POFs will retail for around $320.

I know nothing about lots of things but would suggest if you can file it its not hard.... not even close to hard.

Time and pressure my friend, time and pressure. Anything can be filed, scored and scared.

Anyone used any Barnaul ammo through their AR's?

I have used it in a BA and it wasn't the best, to put it kindly. Had quite a few cases jam.

Just wondering 'cause it's cheap and steel cased (so I don't have to look for my good brass in the tussock and snow grass).

Functions 100% but shoots like poo

[cambo]

Cheers Beavis.
I'll try some and see if it cycles Ok in my R15.
Not too worried about accuracy at this stage.

[dogmatix]

Cambo, you might be better off with the steel cased Hornady ammo.
