Purely from a mechanical standpoint, does trigger slap effect accuracy?
It think it would, with another thing banging around during the firing cycle. Has anyone fixed an AK with trigger slap and found an improvement in accuracy? |

Both people had excellent explanations.
Trigger slap is easy to fix if you're somewhat mechanically inclined. Take the trigger parts and look at the back of the disconnector. You'll see where the back tab of the disconnector is hitting the top of the trigger. Take a file or a grinder and relieve the contact points (note this is NOT any of the sear surface). Continue until you can install the entire FCG and pull back on the disconnector and not have it touch the trigger. A good check I have done is to pull the trigger and hold it back while cycling the bolt to see if any trigger slap exists. |

Good answers here.
I will make a suggestion. I did the tail grinding thing and it worked to a point, but there was still a little bit of slap that was noticeable in cold temps especially. Long story short; I bought a K-Var trigger group and then removed the rear trigger guard rivet and replaced it with a machine screw with the nut supporting the tail of the disconnector. Result; NO trigger slap. |
