Ok, so I have a shitty AK. CIA to be exact. I got it to be a cheap truck/camping gun. I might sell it later, but for now, even though it's shitty, I wanna keep it.

At first it was fine, then the trigger stopped resetting after each pull. I'd literally have to push the trigger forward again to shoot again. I gave it to a guy, he tweaked it, and it was fine for years now. Well it just started doing it again. The spring is a weird one and I am by no means a gunsmith. But I'd like to see if any of you guys have a trick or something that I can duplicate relatively easily. If I need to take it all apart, I can probably figure that out (with the help of youtube lol). So should I take it apart, and literally re-bend the spring?

This isn't my gun, but it looks like it. (again, maybe all AKs are like this? lol)
