[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Single vs. Double Hook

Posted: 1/2/2006 7:36:03 PM EDT

Am interested in assemblying a Romanian kit but have never built an AK before. Can someone explain what the advantages are to single & double hook triggers? Their costs appear to be the same. I'd also like to know the meaning behind Tapco's "G2" designation for their fcg. TIA.

Wow. It's been almost a whole week since the last thread on this subject.....I think that might be a new record!

Thanks for the helpful reply Eyegun, I'll keep searching through the past posts.

it kind of depends on what is "correct" for your AK. different countries/dates make the difference. you can usually use either though. i would replace the whole trigger/hammer group at the same time if you switch. i think the double hook is more rigid of a design.

btw. the single hook seems to bumpfire easier.

I find that the double hooks give a smoother trigger pull. G2 stands for Gordon (or is it Gorden?) Technologies 2nd generation.

Buy the double and if you dont like it, cut off the extra side.

If people are not sure what they need or dont feel like modifying their receivers I tell them to get a single hook. I have told this to LOTs of people and havent had any complaints yet. Double hooks have a secon hook incase one where to fail. As far as I know this has never been a problem which is why many rifles now use single hooks. With that being said a lot of people do prefer single hooks. I have had people ask which i sell more of and the answer is tehy are very close.

Thank you all for the information, it's much appreciated. When I first heard the term, I wasn't sure if perhaps one version was for use on full auto guns, and didn't want to run amuck of the law. Now that I know it's simply a matter of personal preference, I'll replace the entire fcg and go with a double hook.
