The ALG Defense AK Trigger Enhanced with Light Bow is one of the best upgrades available for your AK pattern rifle. Providing a pull that is significantly shorter and more smooth than the stock trigger, it is ideal for use whether you're plinking at the range or in need for a combat trigger. Machined from triple alloy steel with a durable manganese phosphate finish, the AKT features the Lightning Bow, offering a very comfortable pull with enhanced control. Every ALG Defense AKT is made 100% in the United States and counts as 3 parts toward 922(r) compliance.

Features:
  • Machined from alloy steel
  • Enhanced trigger pull and control
  • Curved lightning bow
  • Single stage design
  • Three 922r compliant parts
  • Made in the U.S.A.
  • Compatible with most AK-47s

This trigger is designed to work with rifles most rifles without fitment. Some models have a rear trigger guard rivet that may interfere with trigger function and damage the disconnector if this rivet extends more than 0.062" in height. It is strongly advised that a qualified gunsmith install and fit the trigger by either beveling the disconnector or shaving the rivet for proper fitment.

Simply the best

by -

For the money, I would happily pay more for this trigger, and very nearly did from another retailer until I found out that they were in stock here. Canceled my order at the other place, shipped the next day. Arrived after a weekend transit. This trigger is just superb, transforms the AK beyond description. Had to reconture the safety on my Zastava PAP pistol but it was almost a drop in fit on my VEPR. Had to file the safety just a smidgeon to get everything to function smoothly.

Best Upgrade without a doubt!

by

Best upgrade to any AK. Easy install and worth every penny. So much better than Tapco that came with my rifle. And of coarse I received the trigger a day early. Always fast and great service A+++++

Works on C39v1

by

Bought the AKT for my C39v1 which had the Tapco G2 trigger. Install went smoothly and don't forget to replace the shepherds hook with a good retainer plate. I did not have to use the roll pin with my stock safety lever but I had bought the Krebs enhanced safety and once I installed this the safety did not engage properly with the AKT. So I installed the roll pin and filed it down as the instructions say and everything works great. I really like the short crisp trigger pull and short reset. Much better than G2 trigger. I will say that if I put my stock safety back on it won't work with the AKT the way it is now with roll pin. The AKT is setup with the Krebs safety. There are differences in safetys that affect function with the AKT. It is really due to the short pull of the AKT. But I don't think I'll take the Krebs safety off so I'll keep the setup the way it is.

Okay for a range gun, but nothing else.

Pros:
- Trigger is good when it works

Cons:
- reliability: disconnector on the first trigger broke after 200 rounds. on the second trigger hook bent in less than 500 rounds.
- customer service from ALG: requested a refund for the first and second triggers - they've refused and only offered to send a replacement parts
- installation: while not difficult, still requires a lot more filing and fitting than a typical Tapco or an Arsenal triggers

After having such a negative experience with it I went back to a standard Tapco G2 trigger which works without an issue. This trigger works and feel fine when it works, but I don't recommend putting it on anything other than a range gun.

Great Trigger

I installed it in my Yugo M92 and absolutely loved it. Ordered another one from PA and installed in my Saiga converted and there is a lot of creep in the trigger. Very strange. Same triggers but feel different in both rifles.

Best non adjustable trigger out there

by

It's better than the Tapco G2 is out of the box. It's what the Tapco g2 trigger becomes after the perfect trigger job. It utilizes your original ak hammer spring so you know it's not going to give you light primer strikes. Yet it has the feel of a target trigger with finer wire spring. Hard hammer strike without the heavy mile long trigger pull. Break is quick and clean. The sort of break you would expect to pay a lot more to get right out of the box. The safety contact point on it is adjustable for application which is the only thing that keeps it from being "drop in". But I prefer it. They use roll pin you tap town to right length. Far superior to set screw style designs that back out or require lock tight. I installed this on my PSL. So it will fit that or any other common ak. I only polished certain surfaces but that is all it needed to be optimized. As the angles on the parts are already right. Auxiliary spring ensure the trigger resets quickly without adding noticeable trigger pull weight. This one might require a little fitment to fit in reciever but I have also experienced that with other AKs. Totally worth it though. Every AK should have at least this standard quality of trigger. Directing easy to follow with pictures too. Target trigger feel with minimum fitment without sacrificing mil spec reliability.

Much better than a polished Tapco G2!

by

I was on the fence about getting this trigger because I already had a polished up G2 that was pretty slick. My main gripe with the G2 was the long yet light pull and the forceful and long reset. The ALG AKT solves both of those issues. There's very little takeup and the pull is very light. The pull is so light in fact that ALG supplies an additional spring to increase the pull weight. I used that spring in my AK because without that spring the pull felt scary light. Also the additional spring helped make the reset more positive. All in all a VERY worthwhile upgrade even from a good Tapco G2. It feels like a Geissele AR trigger because the Geissele folks designed it. If you want a great AR like trigger feel in your AK you cannot go wrong with the ALG AKT!

Great Trigger!

I am very cheap! I was very close to just buying another G2 trigger for my build but I thought I'd give this one a try. This is a huge improvement over a stock trigger or a G2 trigger. I have not tried the little additional spring included as I'm happy the way it is without it. There is a pin you can use to tighten up the slack where the safety stops the trigger. My particular rifle probably would have been fine without it but I used it anyway. After a little custom fitment of the pin the safety/trigger relationship is much much better. As I see deals on the triggers I'll be swapping out my stock/G2 triggers with these. Crazy fast and great service from Primary Arms as well but that's not surprising..

Alg awesome!

by

This trigger is quite amazing. The trigger has always been one of the major drawbacks to the ak platform in my opinion but this fixes that. I was going to wait on the enhanced version of this (nickel teflon coated) but im glad I didnt. This trigger is insanely light and I mean light! Mines barely 3 pounds pull and the enhanced is even less. For a fighting rifle thats just too light imo. It does come with a spring you can use to increase the pull weight which was a nice touch and good idea. Best ak trigger hands down. Improved my groups significantly.

Well worth the money!

I currently have 9 ak variants. This trigger found it's way in to my Draco SBR and is hands down my favorite! No trigger slap the reset is crisp and short making for much easier follow up shots. Trigger pull is smooth throughout and light without compromising safety. Instalation was very easy and filing the roll pin for custom safety selector was a breeze. It's the best I've experienced so far.
