Crafted from triple alloy steel and coated with a durable manganese phosphate finish, this AK47 trigger features the Lightning Bow for a comfortable pull and enhanced control.

This trigger is designed to work with most AK 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.

Huge AK trigger upgrade for a low cost
by Dave -
I cannot believe what an improvement over my original Arsenal trigger. If you are concerned about too low of pull force may be the only reason to pass. My change was from a scratchy and uneven 6.75 to 7.75 lbs down to a pretty consistent 2.5 pounds. Install was fairly easy with great results so I highly recommend this product. PA is as always, great to deal with!!
Nice trigger
by Anthony R
Had this on my rifle for a few months and just now started having issues with it. The hammer would fall behind the carrier when my finger is holding the trigger in the fire position. The primers had a pin mark indented on them as if I had a light strike. It seems as if the disconnector is not engaging properly or at all. My guess would be the spring may have worn out and after only 300 rounds. I guess I can replace and/or correct the issues I am having with this FCG but I'd rather count my losses and reinstall the original FCG and call it a day. Until now it had been a great trigger
Good not great
by Gator
I own this and a tapco g2 and this trigger is not 20 dollars better there is not much difference in the trigger pull. The ALG trigger is definatley harder to install and might need the roll pin installed and then to be filed down which is a PITA. The alg trigger does have a more comfortable trigger bow but if I had to buy another it would be the g2
Must Buy!!!
by Aaron H.
Switched from the Tapco G2 to this holy $h!t it goes fast. I can bump fire this purposely and accidently lol. If your're into shooting fast this is FCG to go with. If you're into precision shooting with your AK (oxymoron) then this might not be for you. It's just way too light. Other than that this trigger will probably monopolize the AK FCG market its that good and affordable. Overall great trigger the next AK I purchase will have an ALG AKT in it.
ALG AK47 trigger
by Allen
Received the trigger promptly. I did have to insert the pin and file it down to be sure the safety worked. No big deal just takes a little time and they give you a spare in case you mess up. There is a 2nd spring and it's installation is optional. The spring adds about 1 lb to the weight. I didn't install it at first. The trigger is very light I measured it at 2.5 lbs. Scary light but safe. I installed the spring and now it feels like a very good 2 stage AR trigger. There is a definite take up and then a crisp break. Awesome trigger for the money.
Certainly a "best buy" for a great AK trigger upgrade
by Dennis
Another reviewer claimed that this ALG is the best trigger group available for the AK. In that I would disagree as the somewhat over-costly Red Star trigger is superior and adjustable and can be set for single OR double stage let off. For the price though I have to question whether the slightly lighter and somewhat more crisp Red Star is worth paying almost twice as much than the ALG is selling for. Myself and family members have several AK's and I personally own 3 two of which are outfitted with the ALG trigger and only one with the Red Star. The ALG is easier to install as well and none of my family members AK's needed that roll pin and thus forced into "filing to function" with the safety.....so that is a plus for us. "Consumer Reports" if that libtard publication would even bother to issue trigger reports would certainly rate the ALG as a "best buy" I certainly do. Also after several thousands of rounds I have not had the spring problem that one reviewer mentioned. I would suggest he contact ALG or Geisselle about the problem and I am certain they will make him very happy as either something happened during the order processing or there was some extremely rare factory screw up with his really unique problem. I am an FFL holder and a gunsmith and have installed a LOT of these triggers for customers despite the incredible ease of installation of the trigger group and have NEVER heard of any failures related to the ALG trigger. I do suggest that when you get yours that you take some emery cloth to the contact surfaces. Turns an already light and crisp trigger into an eye opener of a trigger group. Also don't forget to oil or apply a light coating of quality grease to the areas mentioned in the install instructions.
Well worth the money!
by Tyler
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.
Alg awesome!
by Patrick
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.
Great Trigger!
by Paul
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..
Much better than a polished Tapco G2!
by sweatyjeff
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!
