I finally got to try my form one can on my trashcan rifle today. It ejects cases into the next county and there is enough trigger slap that my finger was sore after 10 rounds. It doesn't have either issue without the can.
Does anyone else share these experiences? |

It doesn't have either issue without the can. Does anyone else share these experiences? What kind of rifle? Most AKs are overgassed, some more so than others... a can will add to that. It sounds like your rifle is now just so overgassed that it is causing the trigger slap from the carrier speed being way too fast. I'd try a different FCG and see if there is any difference. |

The rifle is a Romanian "G" parts kit build. The rifle has a US made piston and ultimak gas tube, if it matters.
It would be sweet if there was a way to make the rifle work with and without the can. I imagine a different recoil spring assembly with a stiffer spring for use with the silencer would be the cheapest and easiest. |

I just cleaned the rifle and I'm 99% sure that I found and addressed the trigger slap issue.
When the trigger isn't held fully to the rear and the bolt cycled, the carrier runs into the side of the top of the hook on the trigger. A few minutes with a file and it's got enough clearance. Now I need to start looking at springs. |

It's probably from me not working the reset correctly, like letting off the trigger before the carrier is back in battery. Either way, after my work with a file, it won't happen any more. |

I would check to see if the disconnector is hitting the rear trigger guard rivet, which would limit it's travel. |

I did notice that the disconnector had made a dent in the rear rivet on the trigger guard. It wasn't doing that without the can on. I wonder if that isn't part of the problem also. I guess I'll find out next time I take it out. I need to order a stronger recoil spring and a recoil buffer (because I cut the rear of the top rails a little too much and the bolt carrier hangs up every once in a while when charging it). Is Wolff the go-to for a stronger spring? |
