Single Stage only
This is an awesome unit - I like the interface between the levers and the barrel much more than the Battle Arms system, and the machining is tighter, however, as it comes from JPE, it is designed to ONLY work with single stage triggers - and I already Geissele'd all the things. There's not enough metal taken off of the 'fire' surface to allow the trigger body's movement in a second stage pull. I spoke with a rep at JP, who advised it's possible to machine the 'fire' interface surface back to allow more travel for two stage triggers. The rep thought it might be around .010" +/- .005"
Yay! It worked!!!
I just got done installing both the JP selector in a Stag Arms Lower with Geissele SSA trigger and the Battle Arms selector in a Colt Lower with a Geissele SSA-E trigger. Both selectors are fine pieces of equipment to be sure but there are differences. Out of the box with no break-in period the JP was smother from stop to stop. Both have about the same positive click feel when reaching Safe or Fire. I think the BA selector will become just as smooth when the finish coating wears some though. Again, out of the box and with no gunsmithing the BA was a better fit with the Geissele trigger. To be completely fair to JP though, in my opinion they are providing a product that is designed to provide a more custom precision fit and also that in Geissele's own product description they say that some selectors will need to be fitted with their triggers. The Stag Arms Lower/SSA combo with the JP Selector had no perceivable over-travel when fired. Translation, I got darn lucky that it worked out of the box and it might be a good idea to take it to a gunsmith for a more proper fit. The adjustable safety block screw did interface nicely with the SSA though. If you are looking for a more custom fit/feel for your AR and don't mind having to possibly do some added work for it the JP Enterprises Selector, in my nonprofessional opinion, is the better part. With the Battle Arms selector though, drop it in, Loctite two screw and you're done.
Works as advertised
Drop in and adjust works like a charm. Fits like manufacture says. My only complaint is if you set it up with the ambi safety it rubs my trigger finger, not a big deal i just removed it.
Excellent Product as always
Being a full time gunsmith, this unit is absolute perfection when it comes to perfectly adjusting the safety engagement on an AR. I have installed several and customers are happy with them. Satisfied customers is what it is all about.
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION
JP Enterprises hit one out of the park with this safety selector! Being a gunsmith and working with quality parts is a pleasure. I found that the instructions very easy to follow and little fitting required. Having a selector that is adjustable removes all play when on safe, giving a rock solid feel.The thumb rest is deeper and has a shelf for no miss or slip engagement.Being screwed from both sides makes it a tight fit.
