Nodak Spud receiver on a Bulgarian parts kit with US made barrel IIRC. Tapco G2 trigger and a few other US made parts for compliance.

Thanks very much for the very prompt response! What can you tell me about this warning from TAPCO? - quoted below - I am posting this because I have had some double fires with the rifle when sighting in. Since I was shooting from the bench, I am hoping it was just bump firing / me nursing the trigger. However I came across this warning on their triggers. Do I need a new trigger group? (If so, what would be the best alternative?) Thanks!
"INTRAFUSE G2 Trigger Groups are also not compatible with NoDak Spud NDS-3 and NDS-65 "economy" receivers. In some cases, the use of these two products together can create accidental double firing of the firearm." |

You are most likely riding the trigger on the bench and recoil did its thing.

Taken directly from Nodak Spud website. This is the issue they are referring to in your post:
"There have been reports that the Tapco G2 "single hook" fire control set has had malfunctions when installed in some receivers on the market. These reported malfunctions have included the NDS-3 and the old model NDS-65 "economy" receivers. The most common problem is "hammer follow". This is when the hammer is NOT caught by the disconnector, and follows the bolt carrier forward, failing to reset for the next shot. This does not occur in all builds involving our NDS-3/NDS-65 and the G2 "single hook" set. But, we advise that caution needs to be observed when combining these two products. Hammer follow is due to a combination of small dimensional variances on each of the parts in the assembly (called "stacking dimensions"). When you combine them together, the hammer is not pushed down far enough for the disconnector to grab it. The parts generally involved are; bolt carrier,receiver, fire control group" |

Contact Nodak Spud. Ask them if they made the receiver and if so, which receiver they supplied. Ask them if the use of the G2 fcg is recommended.
They will give you definitive answers. |

Century switched from using Nodak Spud receivers to their own receivers. From the info the OP provided, it a receiver built buy Century for their guns. If it was a Nodak Spud receiver then it should have NDS with the model number near the serial number. |

BATFE has given marking waivers so that the receiver is only marked with the name of the assembler/seller. See 27 CFR 478.92 (a) (4) (i) It may well be that this is such a case. |

Looks like yours has same serial number range as mine. I also got mine at Widener's. So it looks to me like I am in that category of the warning. Its been a couple years, do you think Widener's would do anything for me? Everything else on the rifle is fine and it is pretty accurate, just the doubling problem.
Otherwise, can someone recommend a good quality replacement FCG that won't double (assuming I hold the rifle correctly)? I don't mind calling Widener's or the factory, but an FCG is easy to replace and not expensive. Thanks |

Widners probly wont do anything and Century has a 1 year warranty from the day it leave the factory. Does it have a tapco g2 in it now?

OP, may I respectfully suggest the new Red Star Arms trigger group as a replacement for your rifle?
I have not bought one yet but they show great promise. |

If y'all are having doubling I'd think it'd be worth a call to Century. Lots of companies get worked up about doubling or slam fires due to the fear of litigation. Just a thought....

Prompt response from NoDak Spud: "The receiver in your rifle is not from us. All the AK74 receivers we sent to Century had the serial number range of J00XXX1 and up."
They went on to give me some very helpful information and some options to consider if I decide to replace the Tapco. http://texasaktriggers.com/ http://www.k-var.com/shop/AK-922S.html. |

Had the AK-74 back at the range today. Holding the buttstock firmly into the shoulder it does not double. Did not have to change how I work the trigger, just hold the thing firmly does the trick. The Tapco G2 is excellent and aids accuracy.

I could see that with an ar with such a short reset. Even the tapco have alot of reset and trigger travel. Where you just letting it float in your sholder?

Not intentially, when I had the doubles last week I was sighting in with new ammo off the bench. I was just not holding it secure enough and it had to have been bump firing doubles. Today I was shooing drills in standing position and occasionally off the bench, but in all cases stock held tight into the shoulder pocket.

It was probably made by Morrissey. They made some for Century. I have one and it is nice.

My Tantal was a nice looking rifle but when you put a 5.56 barrel in a rifle that is supposed to shoot 5.45 ammo, what do you expect to happen? Ah......those CAI rocket scientists. |
