I have 2 JP triggers. One in an AR15 type rifle. That trigger has about 10,000 rounds through it with zero malfunctions. The other one is in an AR10 style 308 (DPMS LR308). The 308 trigger has about 500-800 rounds through it.
Both triggers work perfectly. However, the DPMS trigger wasn't nearly as good as the one in the AR15 type rifle. So I called JP to ask about it. As it turns out, when DPMS installed the JP trigger, they put mine in without the JP spring kit, so it was only a partial trigger job. I felt like DPMS got really cheap as I could have purchased the entire trigger WITH JP SPRINGS for what DPMS charged me for just the trigger and hammer.
In any case, after I paid JP for the spring kit (hammer spring, and trigger spring) the trigger works beautifully.
I would suggest checking on all the parts, and call the trigger's manufacturer (that is what I did) and ask them for suggestions. Most trigger manufacturers work really hard to put out a good product, and they realize their reputation will be damaged if they don't fix the occasional bad trigger.
With mass produced items, I understand, and accept that occasionally there might be problems. As long as the manufacturer takes care of it, I can live with it.
Rifle Basix sent me a new trigger just because I was having trouble adjusting one that I bought from them. They sent me the new trigger BEFORE I returned the one that I was having trouble with. All they wanted was for me to be satisfied with their product. So, the new trigger went in, and I sent them the old trigger in the pre-paid package they sent me with the new trigger. That was great service, and I wouldn't hesitate to use their products again.
