Anyone know how to use this? It came with my AMD kit instead of the shephard's hook. Here is a pic from Clearview's website showing the spring: http://www.clearviewinvest.com/detail.asp?product_id=021-2248 Thanks, Chris BTW, I looked for how to use the different spring and didn't come up with any mention of it. |

I highly recommend you go to RedstarArms.com and invest in their new patented retention bar. It goes in so easy and takes all the hastle out of removing your fire control assembly. No more cursing for an hour trying to get that damn shepherd's crook just right. Anyone else try it? Heavyweight |
remember the ak is built sloppy and some fcg's wouldnt work if the pin dosnt turn |

Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. I just assumed that the loose similarity between the AR and AK trigger to hammer setup would mean that similar pins would work. Of course, this was just an assumption as I have limited experience with either rifle. Chris |
| If you want to make them yourself, the stainless steel spring in a popup Rainbird sprinkler head is the right gauge and is long enough to make 5 or 10 retainers. I make my own along the line of the aftermarket L shaped ones that are held in by the selector. The sprinkler heads are available at Lowes or HD for a few bucks. Actually, the gauge is just slightly thick and will fit tight in the pin groove. If you want it looser, just peen it lightly with a hammer to make it a little oblong where it contacts the pin. |
