It appears the trigger hook is too tall, thus getting in the way of the bolt carrier, and stopping it about halfway back.

Should I just file down the top of the trigger hook?

Cochraneap, can you tell us some more about the rifle? Also, can you measure the interference? Thanks.

It's a mini Draco. Factory trigger and Tapco G2 both work fine.  The trigger hook on the AKT is quite a bit taller than both of the others. AKT works fine as long as the bolt carrier isn't inserted. But with the bolt carrier in, it collides with the trigger hook, preventing you from being able to charge the weapon.

Can I just file a CM or 2 off the top of the trigger hook?

Send us an email, [email protected] or shoot us a PM and this sorted out.

I thought the issue was the trigger hook being too tall, but it looks like the factory trigger hook is *almost* as tall.
So, I guess the issue is the trigger hook being too wide. (either/or, really)

The factory trigger hook curves outward at the top, allowing the bolt carrier to pass by on the side, while the AKT trigger hook just goes straight up and gets in the way.
(The Tapco G2 trigger hook just goes straight up too, but it's much shorter, allowing the bolt carrier to pass by over top.)

Now, for the million dollar question. To make the AKT work in my mini Draco, should I try to bend the top of the trigger hook outward, file it down on top, or file down the inside edge?

PM sent. Sent you an email, but it got returned as undeliverable.

would you be willing to send the rifle in to us to inspect? we will pay shipping both directions and return it with the issue resolved. as you know there are many variances of the AK but this is the first weve seen something like this happen and it is very unusual.

There was a typo in geissele.com. That's probably why it got kicked back on you. Sorry about that.

Sorry, I got tired of waiting and went ahead and filed down the top of the trigger hook. Seems to be working perfectly now. I talked to a few other Mini Draco owners, and they all said they had the same problem with the AKT, which they remedied by shortening the top of the trigger hook as well.

I too installed your trigger earlier this month and experienced the exact same thing...Gun is a Romy G built by Mr Fuller on a NoDak Spud receiver. Looking at the top profile of the G2 trigger I just removed, it was obvious the top profile was different from the new ALG trigger.

Since the instructions said it might have to be installed and fitted by a real gunplumber I innocently and stubbornly took a file to it till it cycled correctly. Not too much or too little, just removed enough for it to cycle correctly.

Best trigger ever for the AK platform at ANY price. The trigger pull and re-set is superb...
