Did the yellow springs, polished with a dremel & flitz, used moly on trigger face. Did my 15-22 and my sig sauer m400. Both triggers work great. Also did set screw on 15-22. Best $20. I have spent in a long time.

I wasn't aware of the different color springs.
I had a Colt Match Target Completion, 20" barrel with the two stage JP trigger.
It had the yellow spring.
I purchased my 15/22 about two months ago. It has the Blue trigger.
Too cold & too much Snow in the Colorado Mountains to go shooting.
I don't care for the indoor ranges. Their Ok, but I'd rather not.

$10 for 1# is a pretty good deal in my book (when you consider the cost of a new good trigger). I actually got about 2-2.5# off the RRA trigger in my PC model. On another RRA NM trigger I just put the yellow trigger spring in. That worked out well. Did not keep the JP springs in my Geissele S3G trigger although I tried them out. I felt 1.25# was a little too light.

Decided to take everything back out and do a little polishing. Rangefinder this Friday, so ill let you guys know how it goes. Judging so far by the snap caps, the pull seems a hell of a lot smoother.

This might be a stupid question, but what does a lighter trigger provide? From my understanding is it just to decrease the trigger reset for faster follow up shots? Also where can I find them? Seem to be out on Midway

Not a stupid question, at all; A very good one.
A lighter trigger pull generally yields better trigger control, less disturbance of the sight picture when pulling the trigger, smoother release. It may or may not affect trigger reset speed, depending upon the design of the trigger.
Trigger pull on Olympic competition firearms is measure in ounces, not pounds, all for the above reasons. I have two match pistols with pulls of 18 and 14 ounces; A dream to shoot.
JP springs yield minimal reduction unless one takes the time to polish the mating surfaces of the hammer and trigger hooks, BTW.

Yep.
Lighter/improved triggers make it easier to shoot more accurately.
A highly skilled shooter with trigger time on the firearm in question can run a stock trigger just as well. Rob Leatham could win the Bianchi with a Hi-Point.

Thanks for the help! I'll look into how to polish the hammer and trigger hooks!

Disassemble the FCG and use a very light touch with a hard Arkansas stone on the surfaces, being careful not to change any angles. If you know what you are doing, you can use white polishing compound on a slow speed Dremel felt wheel. Again, a light touch ...

Not really. Reset and lock time is usually a function of the trigger design not the pull weight. I found on both my PC and regular model that is is possible to shoot fast enough to not have the trigger reset properly. Springs don't really help that but in fact often make it worse because the lighter trigger pull allows you to move your finger faster. Happened on both the 15-22 stock trigger and the RRA trigger of the PC model. Only cure is a faster reset and quicker lock time trigger. One solution that many use is installing a Geissele Super 3-Gun trigger. With an S3G trigger in an AR you can dump a 30 round mag in 4 seconds flat. Not the only trigger that will do that as some like the AT AR-Gold or the Wilson Combat 3-gun.

AND THE VERDICT IS..... gun ran flawlessly! not one FTF! 225 rounds today at the range. I would say the yellow springs were a good choice 
fwiw, the first time I went out with the JP springs a few weeks ago.. I had no issues. This weekend I shot CCI AR Tactical, Fed Bulk 36gn and 40gn, and Fed Automatch.. However I was getting light hammer strikes kinda randomly. The only difference was it was very cold this time around (I was seeing snow flakes). It wasn't the ammo since I saved all of them (5-6 rounds) and shot them out of my bolt gun just fine. I am going to try and use my factory hammer spring and try again this weekend.
