Thanks in advance.
I am going to install a double hook trigger in my Century Yugo M70 (way loooooong trigger pull). The receiver is a Nodak Spud with a single hook G2. The receiver is cut for a single hook. Should I grind the edge of the trigger (this is how Interarms did my Tantal on a Nodak Spud) or cut another channel in the receiver? If I should cut the receiver, how do I do it to still look nice?

The gunsmiths standard is to alter the part that's cheapest/easiest to replace if things go wrong, which in this case is the trigger.
However, the more elegant option is to cut another slot in the receiver. A small round file would be best, since its easy to control and there's no chance of a powered tool slipping, and "running over" the receiver, scarring it. I'd recommend a small diameter chainsaw file. These are almost the exact diameter needed, and only a few strokes is all that's needed to cut the short slot. Keep filing dust out of the action and trigger, and use a bit of paint or even a magic marker to cover the exposed metal. |

However in this case I agree, modding the receiver is the way to go. It is such a simple operation the chances of doing any real damage to the receiver are practically nil. |
