Trigger group install?

[mailman]

I have used the guns sand and gods site, the parts breakdown pics, field stripping guids and many others for help in building my AK but they are very vague when it comes to the trigger assembly, does anyone have any links to a good step by step pictorial for the AK trigger group.

Thanks guys

If you know anyone nearby you who has a PAR-1, see if they'll let you gawk at the innards. That's how I figured out what the FCG will need to look like on mine.

However, it turns out that I'm missing the little C-clamps (whatever they're called) that most folks use to keep the pins from coming out, so obviously I haven't got a fully installed FCG. I did test the operation briefly without the clamps, and as long as the pins didn't bail out of their own accord, the trigger and hammer group functioned just fine. If no one else steps up before I get home tonight, I'll post a pic of the innards of my PAR-1 for your reference purposes.

On the original FA parts, the shepherd's hook is used, but the hammer in the standard Tapco trigger group seems to preclude the use of a shepherd's hook (the spring won't fit) and thus there's nothing to hold the pins in place. I could be wrong though, and there may be some way to install the shepherd's hook and keep the pins in place in an SA rifle... I've just seen folks using the C-clamps or the (fairly expensive, for what they are) little J-shaped guide plates.
