Hey, I bought a chinese AK (MAK) without a FCG installed. I know the TAPCO G2 used to be the way to go but it seems like these are no longer available. What is the best new option? Thanks

Your IM box is full. I should have a Norinco FCG kicking around in my parts bins.

ALG.

Much nicer build quality, a little nicer performance, much better safety interface, better Gucci appeal but very affordable.

I've been happy with the standard FIME trigger.  It's a two-stage trigger, which I prefer.  Around $35

I’ve been very impressed with the RAK-1. One of the few things that Century got right.

+2 for RAK-1 for me

+100 to the RAK-1

Replacing G2s with them.

Think the ALG is overrated and requires too much fitting.

Would like to try the FIME Enhanced but haven't gotten around to it yet.

ALG is awesome compared to the Tapco,
but if you're looking for a crisp break without a ton of
trigger movement (think AR), look elsewhere

if your ALG has a ton of movement, you installed it incorrectly. mine moves about 1mm and breaks like a glass rod.

ALG is awesome. Never heard of Rak 1, what’s the difference?

Another vote for the FIME.

I have never heard of the rak 1 either. No experience with them. But it looks like a CAI knock off of the G2 trigger.

Maybe?

Anyway, my ALG triggers have been awesome!

I'd like to try the ALG, but they aren't in stock anywhere, and ALG can't say when they're going to be in stock. I like the pull of the TAPCO G2, but am hoping to get a "flat face" trigger for my tacticool AK build since I like this style on my ARs.

I'm thinking about trying the FIME. I like two stage triggers. The $60 enhanced FIME, is it the same "guts" as the $35 version but with a flat face, or is it a higher quality trigger pull?

I just picked up a Rak-1 threw Atlantic which was the only person who had in stock.

The G2 used to be all the rave.

But they're junk. I had two fail. Disconnector wears out resulting in a trigger that would sometimes hang and only have one stage instead of two. Then after reset .1 lbs of pressure would release and fire. Sometimes it would cause unintentional bump fire. Not safe.

That and it chews the bcg tail/cam up due to the profile.

I'm using the rak-1 now. That and Russian surplus triggers.

The reason I originally dumped my G2s was that the one in my Saiga .223 had such poor disconnector engagement and wear to disconnector claw, that I was able to make it reliably burst doubles or triples by just lightly pulling the trigger. The first time it happened at the range I thought, huh weird. Then did it again and again. Packed up and left once people started looking

I don't like the appearence of the ALG. A traditional style trigger would have been great, and they were going to introduce one three years ago.
It never happened.

I got the FIME enhanced. I don't have the standard one to compare against, and I haven't done live fire yet, but my initial impressions from dry fire are good. It reminds me of an M1 Garand. The first stage creep is longer than an M1, but the second stage is pretty crisp with little creep.
