How difficult would it be for someone with no experience working on AKs, no metal working knowledge and nothing more than a very basic set of tools (screwdrivers, a couple wrenches, a hammer, etc.) to replace the FCG in an AK? Also, are FCG parts universal to any AK? |

You should be able to replace an FCG with nothing more than a small flathead screwdriver and a pair of needlenose pliers. If need be, let me know, and I can do it for you. For the most part, all AKs use the same FCG. There are a few oddballs like Galils and SAR-3s. |

FCG installation Linx310's guide I lift the hammer springs over the ears of the hammer and tie them there with a wire tie. Keeps them from snapping back down on your fingers. The hardest part is getting the shepard's crook/hook back in. With an original one I may spend from 5 to 15 minutes depending on which type and which firearm I am working on. With a Chinese type I can usually get it in within a minute or three. The RSA retainer plate is the way to go as it goes right in. |
