| Hello all. Just recently completed a milled receiver AK. I now want to do a stamped receiver gun. I have heard that the double trigger parts have a better "feel" and less "bite". I have a stamped Polytech underfolder that has the double trigger parts. I have never fired a single trigger so I have no idea how to compare the two. Just wondering if there really is a difference in how the two trigger parts feel so I can know which parts to buy...thanks. |

I've always used the Gorden Tech double hook trigger sets. They give a good pull with little or no tuning needed. I see no reason to use a single hook as long as a good double hook is available. I'm thinking someone bought them out though (FAC??)They may not be available at present. Pete |
They do now, but I am pretty sure that is a recent development. TAPCO also sells the FSE single hook trigger. FSE makes the best FAL fire control group. I recently acquired an FSE AK group. I'll let you know how it works out. |

You are right, it is Tapco that will be selling the former Gorden Tech. They back ordered the sets I ordered. The FSE sets worked good in my FAL's. I found the FSE AK sets to be much inferior to the Gorden Tech I had on hand, and ended up using on some AK's. Pete |

other than china, all the communist countries abandoned the double-hook ak-47 trigger in 1959. the single-hook akm trigger offers superior shooting characteristics and easier tuning. there is NO advantage to the double-hook design. as far as fal triggers go, i have the first two generations of fse fire control groups and find them pretty lame. that is about to be remedied by redstararms. if you have ever shot the rsa ak group, i think you'll agree with me in believing it is the best available unit. |

jarhead, 'what' single hook did you remove from your amd? most of the american triggers on the market are crap. the commies refined the trigger groups almost continuously in the akm and ak-74 rifles. if you have ever had the chance to shoot all of the pre-ban ak's, i think you'll find that nearly ALL of them have the chinese trigger beat. for the ultimate in triggers, try the redstararms. NOTHING else, commie or domestic, is even close to the precision of the redstararms rig. and it's a single hook design. |

Well, the single hook trigger I removed came with the kit, and I replaced it with a military doublehook from a milled receiver ak47, not the akm model. One of these days I'll probably replace it with USA made, when I get the money. OJF P.S. I wasn't trying to flame ya Campy, sorry if it sounded that way! |

oh...no offense taken! i was just wondering. generally, the warsaw pact countries did an outstanding job of manufacturing the akm and ak-74 fire control parts. more typically, the american parts are crap. the gordontech g2 set is not bad at all, and the redstararms set is really accurate and repeatable. other than those (and the old, defunct blue ridge precision parts) i consider most of the american parts as inferior to the worst commie parts. the chinese triggers have never impressed me (and i've owned plenty and still own a few chinese ak's). |
