I went to the range yesterday and fired the AK with the new ALG Defense trigger. The trigger pull is very light and VERY short. I'm not sure how I like it yet.
The real reason I bought the trigger was to replace a Tapco G2 trigger that was allowing trigger slap. Well, the ALG trigger FAILED to eliminate the trigger slap in my WASR! I had high hopes for it. I'm disappointed, but I don't think the issue is with the trigger if it happens with both the Tapco and ALG triggers. There must be something going on with my WASR. Anyone know of a good AK gunsmith in Washington State? |

You can fix it yourself -- check this thread:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_4_74/158674_G2_gausing_trigger_slap_in_Arsenal_AK.html A little careful dremel action to the disconnector and your GTG. |

If you still get trigger slap you will need to send back to century. |

I'm not the original owner, so I don't know if Century will be able to help me, but it's worth a shot. I just emailed them asking them what the problem could be. I'll let you know what they say. I also just sent an email to ALG, so I'll let you know how the customer service is after I hear back from them. EDIT: Here's the email I got back from ALG Defense this morning: Thank you for contacting us. Due to the different manufacturers of the AK platform and tolerances that vary among those manufacturers, ALG Defense cannot guarantee that our AK Trigger will fit your specific make and model properly. The AKT was designed to fit nominal AK47 style machined and stamped receivers. Some fitting may be required of the AKT to your weapon’s safety and/or receiver. The disconnector may be bottoming out, hitting the trigger, which is causing trigger slap. You may need to have the trigger and/or disconnect fitted to your rifle to eliminate the trigger slap. Additionally the AKT should be installed and/or fitted by a certified gunsmith. I hope this helps. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. I guess I'll be looking for a AK gunsmith near me. |

I just got of the phone with Jason at Century Arms and he says what I'm feeling is perfectly normal with an AK. He said I could try changing my shooting stance and finger position in order to relieve my finger pain.
What do you guys think? Does your trigger finger hurt after firing only a few rounds through your AK's? EDIT: Never mind. I'll start a new thread on this subject instead of hijacking ALG's thread. |

Meanwhile, another satisfied user report for the AKT. Pull on Zastava M92 went from a creepy 5lb 14 oz to a crisp 3lb 11. Huge improvement, in my estimation. I saw no need for the auxiliary spring, but did have to use the rollpin for the M92, and of course filed down all but about 3mm.
Highly recommended. The Tapco plate, on the other hand, was not the simple operation I had expected. Eventually got 'er done, however. I may have to celebrate labor day at the range. |

Ordered one yesterday, looking forward to swapping out that factory Arsenal tigger.

The only difference I notice is the shorter pull and reset. I prefer the flat face on the ALG trigger. |

I'm getting ready to order one of these triggers, and I just want to clarify what all it actually comes with. I've seen reports that it is now shipping with a new hammer spring, but all reviews I've seen say that you reuse your factory spring. Which is it? I just want to save on some shipping costs and get the ALG spring to go with the trigger at the same time... If I need it to order it separately, that is. |
There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?

You might get a quicker response if you post in the Geissele industry forum. I think they check that more often. Also, if you buy from ALG (or ALG parts from AIM) they ship for free. |

From what I've read, it looks like this lessens the take-up when compared to say, TAPCO. Does it lighten the pull any? FYI the chinese triggers are the best OEM AK triggers i've ever used, the double-hook trigger itself specifically, I run chicom triggers in all my AK's. Reducing take-up in the factory trigger is ridiculously easy. Running a double-hook in a single hook receiver lets you take out every bit of overtravel too. Not hard to mod the double-hook chicom receiver to do the same thing. I don't go crazy, I could, but I like a nice 3 lb. trigger in my AK's so that's what I make them, the total travel when done is about a quarter of an unmodded triggersets total travel. For 40 bucks the ALG is probably worth it IF it drops in, if you have to do a bunch of modding anyway, you can do it to the factory trigger and get the same result yourself with a minor amount of sandpaper and dremel work. |

None of my AK's has any trigger slap, oh yeah it's kinda normal for maybe 50% of them to have it at first, but it's always easily fixable. Jason at Century is either a moron or just didn't feel like dealing with you and wanted off the phone and did not want to fix it for you. |

DOH! Thanks. Guess we'll find out if it's worth it. I already ordered one. |

I added an AKT to my Romanian Wum-1 last week. It's a completely different animal. The trip is so light I can't tell the take up from the trip. It's actually a tad unnerving. I may add the additional spring just to stiffen it up. I've never said that before, ever. On the other hand with an RMR I'm getting 2" groups at 50 yards with Wolf ammo. I'll take it.
I'm mainly posting to tell you that the ATK works on the Wum-1 but it's very, very close. I'm no expert but my research shows Wum-1s are among the earliest imports from Romania. Many had moon-cut receivers, fixed brakes and other methods to prevent much feared "assault rifle conversions." One of the stranger modifications exists on mine: a permanently attached safety.The safety appears pinned and doesn't come out. At all. I could cut it out but I don't think a standard one would fit (Different receiver holes. I think. I'd have to cut it out to be sure). Good news is I was able to wrangle the new trigger in underneath it. I dropped it in, pulled down on it from the trigger guard side, and slid it back into place. And the role pin was totally unnecessary; the clearance is so tight that the safety engages as soon as you start to move the lever. Will it work on YOUR Wum-1? Who knows. It's a com-bloc weapon, where specification = suggestion. But mine did, so there's hope at least. |
| Any comparison between the ALG trigger and the Red Star Arms trigger? I have a RSA trigger waiting on me to install. I am wondering if I should get the ALG instead. The RSA can, supposedly, be set up for a single stage or a two stage. However, I only wanted a single stage, regardless. |

But even with .mil discount at Brownells, the RSA is nearly twice as much as the ALG (and goes a little beyond twice the price when the ALG goes on sale at various resellers)....which for me, especially since it's "just an AK" and honestly I don't *NEED* a 2-stage in one, is a no-brainer. The ALG is an incredible value, especially since the CMC that just came out is...what, nearly 5 fucking times as much? A polished G2 is a great way to start out for the average Joe. But I have a hard time justifying anything more expensive than the ALG just because it's *THAT* damn nice. |
Cunnilingus aside, that is fucking awesome.
