While shooting the trigger pin keeps coming out. Any fix for this?

Did you or anyone else take the fire control group apart?

Usually that means the Shepherd's hook either jumped out of the groove, or is installed incorrectly. Check inside and see where it is. You can replace it with a different (better) pin retention plate, Tapco makes a good one believe it or not. You can also use an E clip or C clip in its place, you'll just need a second one for the hammer pin.

Get a Retainer Plate.
Seriously!!! They are dirt cheap (about $5.00) & make taking fire control in or out a 1 minute easy process... The hammer and trigger pins of a Romanian AK (& Most other "stock" guns) are held by the sheppards hook spring and it is very easy for it to be installed incorrectly and or miss the retaining grooves to hold the pins in the proper place. I'd 99% guess that someone at one time took out your shepards hook and didn't reinstall it correctly... Just skip the drama and trama and get a plate... You'll be SO thankful you did...

I install anti-walk pins in my rifles (have seen them somewhere for $8 for a set of two including allen wrenches), and further I take the length of them down on a stone so that they're exactly as long as the receiver is wide so that when I tighten them down with a dab of blue loctite under the screw heads they function as anti-rotate pins too.

I think it has standard pins, not too sure though. I wanted to get the retainer plate but I'd need to remove the whole FCG to install it because the safety won't just swing out.
Thanks for the info! I'm gonna buy some clips later on today because my pins seem to move a little while cycling. I can push them in just a bit and it bothers me. The Shepard's hook holds them in place but it still bugs me to push them in a bit after cycling. Quote HistoryQuoted:
An M92 will have standard size axis pins, right? The pins should be metric but regular 3/16" or 7/32" e-clips from your local hardware store should work fine. A Tapco (or DDI or other) retainer plate is less than $10 and is easier to R&R if necessary, but the E-clips are inexpensive and available locally.

Hairpin cotter pins work well.(Not the actual ones but the Stainless steel industrial variety.)
 I don't what size would be needed.
