| Well I've read just about everyone hates the Arsenal stock trigger. So what are some of the better triggers out there? I've read alot of people like the G2 trigger but I've also read about "bolt drag" and people say they are garbage. Also when I did a big search I was getting threads and posts from 2007 so I figure something might have changed since then. |
| Have you even fired the rifle you're looking to modify? I read the same things about the Arsenal FCG before I bought my SLR-107CR and thought I would need to buy a replacement FCG when I got it. Now... I actually prefer the Arsenal components to those in my other rifles. If you must switch, I use the G2 in my others. |

I can't imagine using anything other than the Arsenal trigger. It is so far superior to the TAPCO as to make the comparison a joke. The Texas isn't as bad as the TAPCO, but it still doesn't measure up to the Arsenal. I put Arsenals in all my AKs and it is the only one I can recommend.
That being said, no AK trigger is completely drop in, and all may require some adjustment for safe operation in your particular gun. The TAPCO just a lot more than the Arsenal. The Arsenal so-called 2 stage (neither the Arsenal, nor the TAPCO is a 2-stage) has a bump on the hammer and trigger that must be filed/sanded smooth, and the Arsenal disconnector has a tail. The tail must either be removed completely (as was done on the TAPCO), or the triggerguard rivet installed that stops the longer disonnector tail from causing trigger slap. |

I got one that's just sitting in my bin. It's not compatible with any of my Arsenal rifles due to the tall trigger guard rivet. Quoted:

I've always run RSA FCG's in mine, though it's a bit more than most people seem willing to pay. I got one that's just sitting in my bin. It's not compatible with any of my Arsenal rifles due to the tall trigger guard rivet. I ground the rivet down about 3 or 4 mm in my SGL-31, works great. |
| I have the G2 in my Arsenal SLR 95 and It is sweeeeet. I have the hammer, hooks, all contact points fully polished smoothe and it is super crisp / light.......the first thing anyone comments on when they shoot my AK is how awesome the trigger is.......I also polished the bottom of the bolt carrier.........my rifle has no hangup at all when charging the weapon.....it dam near glides like its on ice to the point a 4yr old can charge it with a finger or two |

The only thing I get out of an unmodified G2 is hammer follow - in just about any gun. Not something those who mash the trigger will likely experience, but for those with better trigger control, it happens so much I won't install an unmodified G2 in any rifle.
After lower the hammer shelf and increasing the disconnector engagement, it still isn't as awesome as a polished Arsenal. |
