I recently found someone to help me install an ALG trigger into my Riley Defense AK. Seemed fine, initial function check seemed working(and totally sweet).

First range trip. Shot 5 rounds, fell in love with the trigger pull, then on the 6 or 7 shot the trigger wasn't working. That's when I noticed the pin that keeps the trigger in place was out. Not having tools, I went home to inspect.

The pin definitely became dislodged, so I put it back in place, but now it won't sit flush. It's like 2 or 3 millimeters shy of being in properly, you can see comparing to the sear pin that it's not in enough. I took it back to the shop I bought it, hoping a qualified gunsmith could tell me if I did it right or not, and the guy who sold it to me got all sketched out saying AK's are combat guns and have no place taking after market triggers, and Im lucky it didn't go full auto.

I don't know how to upload pics on this website but I can e-mail or text photos if someone can offer help. I'm wondering if maybe it's just not compatible with my rifle? Should I just put the stock trigger back and sell the ALG or is there some mod I have to do?

Did you reinstall the fcg retainer properly?

What do you mean by won’t sit flush?

Do you have a shepherds hook retaining wire or a retaining plate?

I recommend the retaining plate if possible.

You can install it yourself.
And if my sister calls me crying you can bet I appear pretty quickly, usually in a little cloud of smoke and brimstone, or maybe that smell is cod? ~Aimless

Sometimes axis pins can be finicky to position in the receiver, especially if you're using the shepherds paperclip and not a retaining plate.  Please send an email to [email protected] and we'll be glad to help you out with this!

That’s not going to be the trigger’s fault. Something was installed improperly.

I agree but it seems like this is just another of these posts where they do not respond back about the issue.........not even a thank you
