I actually prefer the 2 stage arsenal trigger, but I believe I am in the minority.

I put one into a '90s vintage Mak 90 and several people flipped out. I had a problem with trigger slap w/original trigger. Installed the G2 and the trigger improvement was excellent. No more slap, better take up, less creep. Overall a much better trigger than my original Mak 90. There is a Company called Texasaktriggers.com, or something to that effect that many people here and on other forums seem to like, but it is more spendy (2-3x$). I have no experience with this trigger so cannot comment. There may be other options out there that I am not aware of. Search "AK Triggers" on Bing and see what comes up.

I just like a definitive 2 stage trigger having learned to shoot mostly on wwii era mausers.. To the OP, I also have used the tapco unit and you really can't go wrong. Easy take up and a nice break. |

Many of my rifles are old Mil-surps, Garand, Enfield, Mauser, ect. Probably the reason that I prefer the two stage also. I do need to polish the hammer face though, that thing is ROUGH... |

If you took the FCG out of a MAK 90, & thought the Tapco FCG was better, then the MAK 90 FCG had already been replaced years ago with something else. That's like selling your bought & paid for Rolls, & buying a Kia. While both are good cars, the Kia will never feel as good as the Rolls. I'm the guy who buys the Chinese FCG's that people remove from their MAK90's, to install in my AK's. But to be fair, I have a Golani that does have a Tapco FCG, & while it feels good, it's not better than my Chinese FCG's. GARY

Definitely prefer the Tapco G2 in my SLR 107 over the factory trigger.

I prefer the tapco in my 104, but just barely. Probably worth the $30, but I'm keeping the original just in case.

I prefer the Tapco for faster follow up shots.

The Tapco G2 is a very good trigger.

Thanks for the replies. What's the difference between the single hook and double hook G2?

GARY So, according to you my NIB Mak was altered sometime between leaving the factory and arriving at my LGS where I bought it. Shazam Karnak, a regular genius you must be. Back then they were selling for about $225. Who would have bothered to swap the trigger/hammer out for an even worse one from god knows where parts company. You may be different but I don't consider excessive trigger slap part of any kind of decent trigger group. So in my case the G2 IS a better trigger for my purposes. Neither the original or the Tapco are Geissele or CMC, or ACT, but why put a $200 trigger in a $225 rifle? ymmv. |

I've never heard of anyone having trigger slap on a Chinese AK with the original FCG. You are 1 in a million. Anyone else reading this have trigger slap from a Chinese FCG? None of my AK's do, & none of the customers at the LGS where I work mentioned that either, but I guess there's always one. Matter of fact, if you send me that "defective" Chinese FCG, I promise to install it in one of my AK's & bet it's just fine. GARY Quote HistoryQuoted:
