    I am, it's super short/light. My action got rougher though, compared to my polished G2. I also had to install the safety pin. This is on a polish kit/armory USA receiver

    I'm running one in my Arsenal SAM7R. I had to use the safety pin but it was easy to install and required a bit of filing. It's very short, smooth, and super light. Totally worth the $49.

    I'm considering getting it for my WASR, so I can take the G2 trigger and transplant it into my single stack WASR for 922r compliance when I convert it to evil.

    Why'd you have to file it?

    How's overtravel? In most of my G2 AKs the trigger is so light, that I don't mind a bit of creep... but there is often a good bit of overtravel.

    a LOT shorter than the g2. super short single stage take-up and stops where it breaks, maybe a millimeter behind it

    I made the grave mistake of buying one.

    Now I have to replace all my other AK FCGs with it. ;)

    yeah, this.

    I don't use aftermarket triggers in any of my guns (except the AKT and G2), but now I have seen the light...

    I also pre-ordered the akt-e back in march or april... hopefully they push it out soon

    I'm probably going to avoid the enhanced version; I can't imagine something with an even lighter pull than the AKT.

    I don't know that I want lighter pull weight, but I do want less first stage travel. I prefer 2 stage target triggers but will take what I can get. The AKT is one stage so I have to live w/ that but even less take up would be nice. Note: this depends on each rifle you put it in as the hammer to trigger axis holes vary a little so they couldn't make it SUPER short else some guns it wouldn't catch. I think I'm going to put the 2nd one I have in the 54R VEPR. Possibly grind the sear ledge back a little if needed to make it more like a target single stage. That thing could really use a nicer trigger. FWIW, I put my first AKT in the bumpski saiga;)

    I have noticed that the AKT disconnector has a rear tang so its full-auto compatible. If you put the safety JUST RIGHT on my saiga, it holds the disconnector down but is no longer blocking the trigger. That will allow hammer follow which is not good from both a safety/reliablility or ATF point of view. I need to take it back out and grind the tang off.
