Gents. I am to the trigger group install. How do I finish it? I am not sure where these springs go. The videos I watched have different springs.

I can tell you the top one holds the trigger pins in but it won't help you because it's supposed to go around the rate reducer. I used e clips.

You don't need the top spring unless you plan on modifying it to hold in your axis pins. The other one goes in your trigger kind of like an AR trigger spring.

I don't have the spring he installed on the left side ambi control. Or is that part of the full auto parts?

Sorry I don't know much about these.

That's an after market axis pin retaining spring. Your kit won't come with it.

Guys on ak files answered my question. I had to use e clips to hold the trigger pins in as I didn't have a spring to retain them.

You said you used e clips that is correct. I was asking if I needed that axis spring, which I guess I don't.

And I told you the one you had won't work and to solve the issue I used e clips.

I've been down that road.

Either way, enjoy your new Israeli bride!

I think we are talking about two different springs but yes the e clips work for now.

I took it to the range yesterday to do a test run.

I ran the rear sight on 5, and I had to run the front sight all the way to the left to get hits at 100 yards. If I recall it was a center or 6o clock hold.

A few questions. First can I do anything to the front gas block, ie move it to get the front sight to the middle? Like slightly twist it? I have not drilled and pinned it yet.

Second, what is the 3, 5 nd flip up on the rear sight? 300 and 500 meters? How should I sight this in and how do I use the sights?

300 and 500m I believe.

Press the sight back off and align it again, press it back on.

I'd have to look at a ballistics chart for what distance to zero at.
