A friend of mine brought over an I.O. AK-47 that he purchased new a couple of years ago. It occasionally doubled or tripled, so he sent it back to I.O.
They returned it, still doing the same thing. He sent it back again, they returned it, again, still the same problem. He picked up a Tapco G2 double hook trigger group and it sat in the safe for a couple of years. This weekend he brought it over since I was already putting together an AR for him. I installed the G2 for him, but test cycling it the hammer follows the bolt, never hooks. I can lock it back manually. Any ideas? Thanks, John |

It no longer doubles, now it doesn't fire at all. It won't cock the hammer. So it's a paperweight not a machine gun. I'm trying to figure out how to turn it back into a rifle. John Got it. http://www.nodakspud.com/troubleshooting.htm |
| This is a common issue when swapping fire control groups on AK’s. What is happening here is that the hammer is not being captured by the disconnector when the bolt carrier lays it back. A simple fix to this would be to simply take a file to the ear on the hammer that the disconnector grabs and shave a little off until it finally snaps under the disconnector when you bring the assembled rifles bolt carrier back. Then shave a bit more for luck. Probably won’t need more than a few drags of the file. I would not recommend dumping anything into the IO that costs more than the tapco. They simply are not worth putting the money into. After a few thousand rounds you will need to take a look at the disconnector and trigger pin sleeve. I have seen these wear through due to lack of lubrication. |
