The_Caged_Bird 474 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I converted mine then I worked a bit of magic to the G2 with my files and a dremel. It's less than four pounds... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randyf 35 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Get yourself a double hook triger and very slowly cut the notch for the second hook just to the point that the hammer will release. That will give you over travel limit. or get yourself a custom triger from Cobra with an over travel limiter. I can not recomend doing what I did for saftey reasons but I made a small thin plate that is held in place with the forward most screw that secures my CSS triger guard. The plate sits under the hooks and a little bit goes a long way. Also there is a fully adjustable triger available. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. The Tapco G2 is possibly the finest Tapco product on the market and can be reworked to be very light and very impressive. I get lots of .... "Damn! That's light!" comments when people try mine. I shorten mine a bit as well, but always use unmodified factory springs on the hammer and disconnector. Kind of risky if you don't have a good understanding of how the hooks need to function in relation to the disconnector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yep the double hook with a notch and a plate under the other side is the cheapest choice and is fairly good. If you have a welder, you can add metal to the underside of the back, if not a fender washer can do the same thing. RSA adjustable trigger or professional services are other options too. I have done the double hook mod and the RSA. RSA is a bit nicer because it is just a matter of adjustment, and you have adjustment for disconnecter start point and tension that cannot be gained in the other method without spring changing or clipping and adding metal to the disconnector. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eganx 4 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I welded a little tit to the front and back of the trigger to limit creep and over travel, worked pretty well. I played with the disconnecter and hammer engagement for a shorter reset, as well as the trigger/hammer engagement to make the brake/reset close together. Then replaced the rolled steel sleeve with a machined brass bushing, which didn't really do much. Its an AK, use a little common sense and ingenuity and you'll be good.
