Ok - keep in my mind I do not have the trigger assembly in front of me as I am overseas right now:
After surfing around, reading reviews, asking some other folks what they think, I decided on a Jewell trigger for my AR-15. It will be going in a Bushmaster lower with a RRA A4 varmint upper. Everywhere I went, there were rave reviews and folks who I talked to said they make an excellent target/varmint trigger. I even took note of he fact that Les Baer uses Jewell triggers as the standard trigger for their Super Match varmint (a ~$3000 varmint AR-15)
I got to discussing the Jewell trigger with some guys over at (yeah, shoot me now for straying into this territory) AR-15.com. One guy on their basically got into a rant over how Jewell triggers are junk. His own words were: "Terrible reliability. Some can be set up ok and others are a bad joke."
Now, of course the caveat is that he recomended another brand of AR trigger made by Geissele - http://www.geissele.com - instead. Of course, when you look in his profile (and avatar) he either owns or works for
an outfit which of course sells this Geissele trigger system. Funny how that goes /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I told him straight up that I doubt a company like Les Baer would install an inferior trigger in their rifle with the repuatation they have for quality. For that matter, the trigger in that rifle is the only non-les baer made part in the rifle.
I realized that I never asked anyone on here for their opinion on this topic. So, without further adieu - what do you folks think of the Jewell trigger for varmint work? Alos, is stainless steel considered a bad material for use in a trigger assembly.
