Holy trigger slap batman!

[jscwerve]

So I got an AK in a trade and got to take it out to shoot yesterday. Quite a pinful experience after about 20 rounds or so from the trigger slap. Felt like my finger had been stuck in a light socket.

Question for you AK guys is this. What is the best trigger to replace the crappy WASR garbage that I have? I don't need match grade or anything so I was thinking about the Tapco G2, but I have seen a few others out there so I wanted some opinions on others.

What say you CO-AR15?

sell the AK and upgrade your AR

personaly i stay away from the tapco-all its good for is 922 compliant parts count im not happy with how they feel
the red star trigger group gives a better feel and smoother trigger pull
i have one and im quite happy with it

this is what i installed in my Arsenals. i replaced the 2 stage and went with a single stage with a new Bulgarian.

i have read there is a fix if you have the Century trigger group. IIRC it involves cutting the tail off of the disconnector. and if you dont have the factory rivet stop for the disconnector it trigger slaps, i think thats why the Tapco G2 dont have the tail on their disconnectors. i am not 100% on that theory but i think im close.

on my Arsenals they have that big raised rear triggerguard rivet that stops the disconnector. and i know a Sar1 has more of a flat/flush rivet.

If you have a WASR you already have a Tapco G2.
Nothing wrong with them, it just needs a bit of tuning. They can be cleaned up into a decent single stage with a little work. You really don't need more than that on an AK.
If it was a rifle that has a real accuracy potential like a PSL then by all means spend the glue for an adjustable trigger, with a run of the mill AK it really is a waste of money.
Trigger slap is not an issue with the trigger itself, rather the hammer and placement of the hammer/trigger pin holes on the receiver.
All you need is a few thousandths variance and the relationship of the hammer to bolt carrier changes.
That is where the slap comes from, the carrier striking the hammer which in turn batters the trigger.
Check your PM's.

My first WASR had the stock trigger, it was brutal. Got the G2 and put it on Very sweet to shoot now.

The best money I've put on an AK.Good luck.

+2 on the G2. I've put several of Red Star's adjustable triggers in PSLs and they made a world of difference...

I have an Arsenal 106U with the k-var trigger group from the factory build. It was horrible! This thing hurt so bad, I even had other guys shoot it to verify just how painful it was. I installed the Tapco and it shoots perfect now. It has a nice pull and break too.

I put them in all my AKs (and I've owned a few, to say the least).

here's a pic of the little beast.

Thanks for all the answers and advice everyone! I now know a whole lot more about the AK trigger group.

That is a hot little AK! How long's the barrel?
