A couple years ago, I bought a Romanian-made WASR, the semi-automatic AK-47 clone. It was an impulse buy, no serious intentions for the gun. The importer installed a fairly crisp trigger group and that ugly plywood stock. After a while, I installed a TAPCO "dark earth" folding stock furniture set on the thing. In my ineptitude, I destroyed the old stock taking it off, so there is no going back.
The rifle looks a lot nicer now, but when I fire it, it stings my trigger finger. A lot. What should be a nice plinking rifle is now something I can't stand to fire a full magazine through. And it may be a contributing factor to being wildly inaccurate.
I don't recall the sting from before I changed the stock, and I'm pretty sure I would have noticed. I don't think it was this inaccurate, either. I assumed that it there was something weird about the stock, some kind of flexing or a harmonic created in the stock and receiver.
I got a catalog in the mail yesterday (from TAPCO) which advertises a G2 trigger group. One of the attributes mentioned is that it will "eliminate the painful trigger slap common on other designs." So is this a common problem with AK triggers?
