Alright, guys. Funds are going to be available soon to finally upgrade my MAK90 to get rid of the awful ATI butthole stock and put on a proper pistol grip and stock. What's the best US made H-T-S group, preferably non-adjustable? I hear people rave about the Red Star H-T-S but I'm really wanting non-adjustable for a rifle that might just be used for defensive purposes some day. Is the Tapco group any good? I'm a little leery about it since I've read it's MIM and I really want machined, not glorified cast parts. Any suggestions? I'd really like to get the RSA group. Any hope they'll offer a non-adjustable option any time soon?

The stock set is a no-brainer, it'll be Kvar and I'm going to replace the gas piston with the stainless one from Tapco. If I have my parts count right, that should be 7 US parts, well above the 5 required since the rifle doesn't have a muzzle device (can't wait till 09-14-04, if the AWB goes away it'll be sporting a Vortex. Yeah, Baby!). That way, I won't have to worry about US followers and floorplates. I have enough magazines that, even if I wanted to go that route, I'll have enough invested in them that I could buy a different US part. Thanks for the help. I'm pretty familiar with the AK, I've just never done any upgrades and have no idea what all is out there.

Two good choices are...... the KVAR forged, milled, and heat treated set........or, the Tapco G-2 investment cast set (in that order, IMO) :)

yup, the k-var set is the best quality non-adjustable fire control group on the market.

despite gordon's g2 set being investment cast, it's not a bad unit as far as durability goes...it's just that horrid long, stiff pull.

Thanks, guys. Kvar it is! If Campy endorses it, it HAS to be good! LOL

According to KVAR's website they are sold out of US FCG's.  DOH!
