Anyone know much about the JP Enterprises AR trigger kits?

I just bought and installed one. It was a PITA but I got it done and it seemed to work perfectly until I shot it. I fired about 5-10 rounds and then it doubled on me. I thought it might have been bump firing, so I racked the bolt and let her fly shut...............It slam fired. Luckily it was pointed in a safe direction.

I followed the directions and watched the provided video. I don't think I did anything wrong with the installation. I have called and emailed JP but since it's the weekend I haven't spoke to anyone yet.

I put the rifle up and won't be shooting it anymore until it's fixed. I'm just wondering if JP will fix it for free??????????? I spent close $150 on the trigger kit, the darned thing should at least function properly.

Which kit? I installed some yellow springs of their a freind gave me and too them out ASAP. Way too light for my tast, but then I like a single stage milspec trigger.... go figure!

It's the JPFC-1. It came with 2 springs, the trigger/sear, and the disconnector. I didn't like the hammer spring so I left the stock spring in. Much better sounding anyways. SMACK!!

I took another look at it awhile ago. I racked the charging handle and let er fly shut...........slam fire (empty this time of coarse) I did this several times with the same result each time. Iturned the rifle over and noticed the trigger pin was walking out. I repositioned it and now I can't make it slam fire. Hopefull I have solved my own problem. I think I need those pins with e clips on the ends

Any chance your spring tails are not over the pin?

Did you follow the timing videos? http://www.jprifles.com/1.4.8.1_fc.php

Springs appear to be in the groove but it doesn't hold very well. And yes I did follow the timing videos.

I ran about 50 rounds through my rifle today while keeping a close eye on the pins. It ran flawlessly. So....................I guess this was my fault after all, but at least I fixed it myself. I went ahead and ordered some JP oversized anti walk pins so this should never happen again.

thanks for the help,
