Blender, the tab sticking between the hooks might need trimming. Best to just place your trigger in the receiver with just the pin to test that it won't interfere with the trigger. Mine needed cutting back, but not by much.

Heh, your best bet is probably to put the trigger assembly together and into the receiver and see how it works. You can take it apart and put it back to gether as many times as you like.

 

You can pretty much only cut it once.

 

One nice thing about an AK is that it's pretty stinkin' difficult to mess it up.

You can play with the FCG assembled in your receiver with the bolt carrier out to see how the disconnector works:

 

When you hold the trigger back, push the hammer down like the carrier is cocking it following a fired cartridge. If you notice, the sear tip(s) of the trigger don't engage the hammer, however the hammer hits the disconnector, which gives and latches over the hammer. You then release the trigger and the hammer pops up and catches on the trigger sear.

Are the trigger and the disconnector supposed to "sandwich" the tab I mentioned earlier? The trigger underneath and the disconnector on top? My disconnector doesn't even come close to touching that tab. How else does the disconnector get pushed off of the hammer?

The "tab" should not be in contact with your trigger, disconnector or anything. The two rounded end slots on both sides of the tab are relief cuts for the trigger hooks. This is why we say "single hook" trigger and "double hook" trigger. The bottom of those hooks operate inside those rounded relief areas when the trigger is pulled all the way back.

 

The disconnector releases the hammer when you let go of the trigger. Then the hooks on the trigger itself hold the hammer back until you pull the trigger again releaseing the hammer. The disconnector is not really a disconnector for this application. Here we call it a "safety sear" The idea is to prevent more than one strike on the firing pin for each pull of the trigger. ie: SAFETY SEAR.

 

Stop worrying about modifying the receiver and focus on figuring out how to install your trigger group. Do you have your new trigger group in your possession?
