Question about JP Springs

[tagkat]

What's the difference between the AR-15 Reduced Power Spring 3.5lb and the 3.5lb Enhanced Reliablity Spring Kit?

AR-15 ENHANCED RELIABILITY SPRING KITS - Brownells

AR-15 REDUCED POWER SPRING KIT - Brownells

Is one better than the other?

 

[glockeyed]

looks like the reliability kit has a heavier hammer spring. some people have experienced light primer strikes on AR's.

i have the reg reduced power springs, and no issues there. what ammo do you shoot. i could see some of the harder primer ammo increases your change of misfire.

Lol haven't even shot it yet. But will probably shoot Federal Red Box Bulk and Winchester White box bulk pack. So would the Enhanced reliablity be better since has a heavier hammer spring?

i was looking at springs the other night and many (not all) of the kits say they have little to no effect on standard parts without the jp trigger kit. is this true?

I suspect the Search function works so well as it has no wear and tear from use...

If you read correctly, the original question was about the two different types of springs (Enhanced reliablity, and reduced power). And what is the difference.

I'm running the "standard" 3.5# and have had no issues with light strikes. it did help my trigger alot.

I have been concerned about creating light strike issues with the reduced power springs, but if the enhanced reliability spring kit is meant to correct that issue, it's going to be my next mod.
