| I just finished my first build, its a polish UF everything went together fine (except the parts kit didn't have the E clips to retain the trigger and hammer pins) I don't know if this is the way its supose to be or not. Do you have to go buy E clips for this???? Anyway the bolt is sticking on me when I pull it all the back then you have to "pop" the charging latch and it will go back forward. Anyone have an idea how to fix it. I can't tell what its hanging up on. Thanks guys |
| Thanks, I did some google searches on the shepards crook (wire type) and modified the spring to work as a retaining mech. On the bolt sticking I think the cut out slots are too long for carrier removal and at the back of the recoil stroke the carrier is poping up off the rails. I also did a search on that and the solution seems to be just putting in a recoil buffer to stop the carrier from moving back so far. What would the best/cheapest way to either make or buy a recoil buffer for an AK??? Thank again for the response. |

"sticking" bolts are common with the G2 fire control group...by far the most widely used US compliance parts. The problem is the contour of the hammer. As the bolt assy moves forward, the underside of the carrier impacts the top of the hammer and instead of pushing it down and passing over it, it hangs up. The solution ranges from polishing the the offending surfaces to actually reshaping the hammer's contour. The hammer is the culprit...on a Romy G and two Yugo builds (M90 and M70) as soon as soon as I substituted the original hammer for the G2 hammer, the problem disappeared. I opted to reshape the hammer via Mr. Dremel on all three. The surface to be reshaped is non-critical in that it doesn't impact the firing pin. It's just a PIA removing, grinding, reinstalling, function checking, removing again, etc. Now that I've done three I can pretty much get it right in one shot. I also polished the surface that was ground. HTH |
