Solution to trigger slap in the SAR series of AK rifles

[riddleofsteel]

Due to the use of US fire control parts in the assembly of Romanian Ak-47 parts kits some users have experienced trigger slap. This is due to the trigger being struck by the disconnector and hammer assembly. This defect can result in sore trigger finger and/or damage to the fire control assembly of your weapon. This defect is more common in pre 2000 series SAR 1's 2's and 3's. After a lot of reasearch here is a quick and easy fix.
here is the best pic of what to do on the existing US parts in your rifle.

and finally

I hope this helps. I personally plan to replace the fire control parts with Romanian parts and modify the existing parts then stash them for a rainy day.

At any rate below is a link to a site that has a step by step photo story on fire control group disassembly and of course reassembly

P.S. I am having zero problem with my 2000 model SAR 1. Including no trigger slap. It is the older model that is giving me a fit. Anybody else finding this to be true? It seems that the 2000 series is the best SAR's yet. HOOOO YAHHHH



web page for fire control group disassembly/reassembly

here is an address i found for a guy selling Romanian fire control sets for $10.00 each for AKs. I don't know if he has any left but two of them are mine. LOL

Ok, NOW you post this. I got sick of my old SAR and sold it allready! That's all right, I replaced it with something cooler.

Thanks for posting this, though. I saved it for future reference.
