SAR 1 Range outing

If you've gotten to handle an Arsenal SLR-106, 107, or the SGL series, they have this trigger group installed at the factory:

It's a faux two stage trigger.....with a bit of up take and then more resistance at the very end. Some people like them, some don't.

I personally really do like them. They definitely help me stage the trigger for a more precise shot.

Also, if you have an AK built on a Nodak receiver, Nodak advises (and sells) that the K-Var FCG works best in their receivers.

Something I've meant to ask. My SA93 came with a "smooth" trigger that basically had little resistance during its pull. When I converted it from the thumbhole stock I put a G2 trigger that has the exact same feel.

My SAR1 on the other hand had what felt more like a two stage trigger (a crappy two-stage, but a two stage). It had a lot of trigger slap and the gun was junk compared to the Bulgarian. I sold it to fund the SA93 conversion.

My question is which trigger is more "right" for a real AK? I would assume the SA93 which had Bulgarian parts, but not ever having fired a real AK, I don't know?

Thanks, Templar. I'm probably going to switch to the KVAR trigger group.

One thing that really helped my latest SAR-1 is getting the muzzle crowned. It seemed to tighten the groups by about 30-40%.

Milled Type III guns and the Chicom Type 56 stamped guns have a double hook trigger system which gives a VERY smooth pull. The AKM/AK-74 has a single hook trigger and is much more prone to being slappy, gritty, and not quite as consistent.

An SAR was my first magazine feed semi-auto rifle, and I love mine. If I only have one AK left, it will be that one.

No canting, but it did have some trigger slap. I dropped in a G2 and retaining plate, and its been great.
