    The piston has a negative effect on your trigger. Basically the pseudo fix for the nasty operating system of a di rifle effects the flux capacitor causing a rapid decrease in perfusion. Hence why the dynamics of the trigger dont work until the weapon is able to adequately reach a muzzle velocity of 880fps.

    Damn, and here I thought it was because I didn't have it charged to 1.2 gigawatts, another lesson learned.

    Beware the Libyans. :cool:

    Nem is definitely on to something here, got to try out his prototype today. Wow, blew my mind, an AK with a damn close to AR trigger, slightly lighter than the Spike's in my dad's AR and felt nicer too.

    AK guys, take notice.

    Its true. Keep up to date on this guys...production run 1 may be on its way within a month tops. I will be hosting a demo within this time frame as well as making a few video demonstrations for those who cannot come to the demo. I will also be show some of the other custom work i can offer. Enough interest and who knows...i may open up the mad russian workshop :)

    I'd like to compare it to my PSL's trigger ... I'd also like to see how much engagement there is on the safety

    That is the only issue with this mod...the saftey is blocked and cannot be used. That being said a custom saftey could be made to allow the use of it. This is however the only drawback and what you gain far outweigh this imho.

    lmao. john you're dead on with that one

    no uniforms...other than maybe some ruskie hats


    edit: if i start selling this i will probably sell the part by itself, and then a full kit with a tuned FCG, the part, and a modified safety.

    the FCG and safety can either be bought from me, but it will be more expensive considering i would need to buy a FCG myself to do the modifications. to save yourself money i could take existing parts, sent to me, and hone/tune/polish them. as far as cost for this work, i am unsure at this point...however i will make it a point to be as reasonable as possible. im not looking to try and get rich.

    So the trigger travel is less because it is already partly pulled (compared to an unaltered trigger) and the original safety can not be engaged ... wouldn't shortening the hook do the same thing (except you'd have to know what you were doing and why) and leave the safety?

    Please excuse me if I'm wrong and don't understand what is going on ...

    (I am not planning on doing either to my gun. Safety is #1 on my equipment)

    altering the hook wouldnt change where the trigger catches the hammer...but it can cause the hammer to miss the hook once the disconnector lets go on the reset.

    i understand what you're saying, i wish i could show you why it wouldnt work though.



    from what i gather your idea is to shorten the hook(hammer catch) thus reducing the pull length, correct? (pause at :19)


    this would work, for that single pull. however that hook needs to be that long so when you let go of the trigger to reset it (this action is where the trigger moves forward allowing the disconnector to release its hold on the hammer and drop it into the hook). if the hook is shorter there is a high chance that the hammer will miss this hook and fall back on the firing pin.

    I understand that, what I don't understand is - how holding the trigger slightly back to reduce its travel - does not reduce the hook engagement in the same way?

    it would...that wouldnt be the problem with cutting the hook down. the problem comes in when the hook needs to re-engage the hammer again.

    i see where you are confused though. take the dust cover off your AK and hold the trigger back, rack the action so that the disconnector is holding the hammer...now slowly release the trigger until the disconnector lets go of the hammer and the hook catches it...keep a good hold on the trigger.

    notice where the hook catches the hammer, then as you release the trigger more the hook slides up the hammer to its final resting spot...its very low and close to the breaking point. shortening the hook can cause the hammer to miss the hook.

    with my part the hook remains the same, so when the disconnector releases it the hook can still properly catch the hammer.

    the trigger in my SGL21 is fully tuned at this point. when the trigger is released the hammer catches the hook right on the second stage.( its a arsenal 2 stage trigger)...if the hook was any shorter it would miss and cause an unintentional discharge of the firearm.

    No, I'm not confused at all ... as you say, the hook does not fully engage. There is no difference.
