why wouldn't it feed right without one? i read in global trades ad that selector stop placement is very important to realible function, why? other than stoping the selector lever and slightly shiming front of trigger guard what else does it do? thanks

The selector stop makes a difference in where the mag catch sits. Without a selector stop, your trigger guard/mag catch assembly will sit too close to the receiver, and your mags will sit too high when seated. With the selector stop acting as a spacer, it will bring your mags down just a bit when seated, allowing for the intended geometry.
take care, Tec |

AKs are quite simple in design, if it wasn't needed, it wasn't there. Any parts found on a basic AK are there for a reason. Leave it off and then wonder why it jams on the magazine. Carefully study each part and how it interacts with all the others and you'll understand why most any simp can keep an AK running with a minimum of maintainence.

Well that doesn't explain why there are AK's built without the selector stop. I can understand the shim, but somebody please explain why some have them and some dont.

You have a picture of one without the selector stop? I've never seen one myself. ETA: I guess the milled AKs don't have the stop but all the stamped AKs I've seen do. |

Milled receiver? The spacer is built in. Mike |
