I just wanted to let you know that I have installed a new JPFCP-1EZ trigger set in my ACR. My project report can be found here: www.nickelbrass.blogspot.com I also have an original JP trigger set on order and I will be posting the results of my second trigger project there also. I have always liked the JP trigger sets and I have them in all my AR rifles. I thought that I would take a look at installing one in my ACR. I installed the new trigger set and it works great. If your interested, please check it out.

Thanks for taking the time to go look at my report. I hope you enjoyed it. I will
be doing another one that will feature the original JPFC-1 trigger set. It is about
half the price of the new JPFCP-1EZ and I will not have a bunch of left over parts that
I didn't need for this ACR installation. Once again, I hope it was insightful and thanks for
the kind words.

Exellent DIY you gotta shoot a video of you shooting it now!

Nice writeup, but still a bit of custom fitting.

I was doing some 300 yard shooting recently, and have decided a better trigger is a must at those distances. I stumbled across this:

It's an entire Geiselle trigger pack for the ACR. I can't find any other information on it, but it must be on the way from Bushmaster shortly...???

I was looking at the Geissele Super Dynamic triggers for the ACR. Has anyone used these? The 3 gun Hybrid trigger looked very nice (SD3G)! Would this work with the ACR?

I am using a Geissele SSA-E in mine. I think the Super Dynamic would work, but it does put the trigger ahead an 1/8 inch or so. I'm not sure if that is just down at the actual trigger or if it has different geometry. (the trigger on that one is flat) Worst case you would have to trim a bit of platic in front of the trigger.

Nice how to NB

Nice write up

I really want to install a Giessele SSAE on my ACR, but just I'm kind of skeptical about bending the spring. Just how reliable are these after having to custom fit them? It's just that I've heard a few horror stories about trigger play in the safe position and safeties not functioning properly.

i just re-used the factory hammer spring on mine, its a rra stage 2 nm trigger but 1600ish rounds later still runs like a champ

Thanks, yeah that is the suggestion that I have been hearing the most. This won't affect the performance of a new trigger?

 

[bigdog2003_99]

no sir, i have a stock acr vrs my 10.5 with the trigger and its ridiculous how much better it is, i couldnt tell the difference when it was on my ar15 before the acr

 

[oarodrig]

alright, thanks a lot

So, as long as I use the factory hammer spring, and AR-15 trigger will work?

Or put a little bend in the new hammer spring. quite frankly I think they want to pay a little more to put the bend in it for us.
