Ok. Because I value the opinion of people I know I'm asking this here.

Would this be better than the standard trigger assembly in an AK?

I'm looking to make it more bump friendly.

TIA.

Ok.

Do the Tapco's make a better trigger assembly than they original assembly that came in your rifle?

I just bought the G2 plan to get it installed this weekend and go out Sunday. Will let you know. It was a bit more expensive but the AK forum said it was well worth the extra money.

It depends on the FCG you've got installed. Some of the Century and even original FCGs are decent. A lot of them that I've played with (I'd say 50%+/- ish) of the rifles I've fired have some nasty trigger slap with the original FCG. Dropping in a G2 is a cheap fix, the Red Star is a much better quality piece. I've got G2s in my 2 converted Maadis. I can't justify an $80 FCG in an AK, so the $35ish G2 gets my vote.

I've used the G2's in two build....single and double hook...the double hook has a slightly better pull in my opinion.

both work well enough and bump pretty good too.
can't go wrong with only 35 bucks.

The G2 system's engagement surfaces can be polished up to give a very nice pull. But if y'all want BUMP, the Red Star setup is the way to go. It costs almost three times as much, but it's fully adjustable.

I've used both the RSA and the TAPCO G2s. I continue to use the G2s, because they are nice triggers. I've had to polish one to make it function as it should.

A sixpack of beer, a latte, a dremmel tool and a couple hours at DaBunnys house was a lot cheaper than either one and it took out 90% of the slap on my MAADI.
