What is the difference between the two other than the obvious ? Any advantages to the one or the other ?

Nope.

The double hook was the original design, and it was a "belt and suspenders" design in case one hook broke, the other would keep the rifle working.

By the time the AK-74 came out, they realized that it was unnecessary and went with one hook.

Some people claim the double hook is smoother, most can't tell any difference.
How smooth the trigger action is depends on the trigger unit and the rifle, not the number of hooks.

Basically, you just install the one you personally like if the receiver is set up for a double hook, and you can easily alter the receiver to accept a double hook trigger.

I installed double hook trigger on mine and found a definite decrease in trigger slap this helps when the weather is cold. My Yugo full stock came with the double installed but the underfolder Yugo did not. My arsenals all came with double hook triggers and shoot really smooth.

There again, did you replace a Century arms single hook with a Tapco double hook? Here the manufacturer made the difference.

You failed to mention WHOSE Double Hook vs Single Hook.  It makes a difference :)

KVAR and FSE produce a good, realistic Eastern Block Single Hook.  G2 does not.  The G2 Single Hook is an amputated Double Hook.

G2 makes one of, if not the BEST, Double Hooks.

Given a choice?  I will, 99% of the time, use a G2 DOUBLE Hook in all builds.  Even if I have to add a Double hook cut to the receiver.  These are smooth, cost effective, and VERY good.

The double hook triggers I installed were bought at a gun show for 10 dollars and they were not us made. Probably taken from a kit to be replaced by us made for parts count.

There is a new double hook out, or will be soon. I have seen a link to it, and
cannot find it now. I have read that RPG is the one doing the new one, but that
was posted, and I didnt see any other info.

Anyone know more about this new one. Supposedly there is no modification to the receiver nessacary.
