Reviews & Ratings for JARD ARJ Trigger Kit — 2 reviews — Page 1

1. For the price Optics planet is selling this for, there is no reason to buy this, plenty of drop in trigger that are IN SPEC that cost the same or less. ALSO drop in is easier to install.
2. This thing is way out of spec, I have 8 lower receivers, from PSA, to YANKEE HILL, TO AERO, TO WILSON COMBAT, I put this trigger in 4 brands of lowers, this trigger will "ALLOW" you to put the weapon on SAFE after you pull the trigger, when the weapon is EMPTY no rounds and bolt forward hammer dropped, LET ME BE CLEAR "THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN" Also you are able to PULL THE BOLT TO THE REAR, when it is on SAFE and HAMMER IS DROPPED. you have to FORCE IT, but it can be done, this is unsafe.
3. i can confirm it functions, and trigger is 3.5lbs, but i DO NOT recommend you pay for this.

I bought this product because I have a rifle I shoot less than others I own and wanted a better than milspec trigger but didn't want the cost of the drop in/cassettes I bought for other guns.
First off installing was tricky. It installs similar to milspec triggers but with some additions. There is an extra reset spring that is very tricky to put in. The instructions suggest adding some grease to the detent to help hold the spring while installing. I added too much, which was a tiny amount to start with. Therefore my trigger got stuck and would not reset, I had to push it forward for the reset. After diagnosing this. It reset smoothly, not as nice as my drop in/cassettes, but better than milspec.
Second the installation instructions included a diagram of the trigger. The main spring in the diagram was upside down and after trying to install for about 20 minutes I realized the mistake. It installs very similar to a milspec trigger spring. DUH!
Third I ordered the 3lb straight trigger. I received a Curved trigger, not sure of the weight but it still is pretty smooth. I could have returned it but I was too anxious to try it out. So, opted to keep the curved one.
All in All better than milspec, smooth, resets nicely (now). Honestly I will probably buy another and hope I get the flat trigger next time. However, if you can afford it, drop in cassette triggers are better. At least the ones I have tried.
