Single or double hook trigger assembly?

[Clydedog]

....I'm beginning to gather up items needed for a Romy "G" build from a flat. To get up toward the required number of compliance parts needed, I plan on using one of the Tapco trigger assemblies. The price is the same, which one should I go with and why? I'm not sure what the difference is

go with a single hook...
Most recivers are cut for a single hook anyways.

I know there is a reason the commies went with dual hooks and I don't know the specifics..

But there will be no safety issues with a single

The purpose of the double hook is that if one of the hooks breaks, there is still another hook which maintains control of the firing mechanism. In a single hook if the single hook breaks, then the AK will go full automatic and will not stop firing until all the bullets have been spent.

If yours is built from a Romy kit, it originally was built with a single hook, and the receiver is also cut for a single hook. To add the double hook you will have to cut away/file some of the metal on the underside of the receiver to accommodate a double hook trigger. The Yugos, on the otherhand, came originally with double hooks, and the receiver (at least the DCI ones) are already cut away for double hooks.

Go with the double hook. The double works well on the TAPCO flats if your bending your own recever. If you use a NDS-3 receiver you will need to notch the trigger well a bit to clear the second hook. NDS-3 is not recomended for use with the TAPCO single hook because the NDS-3 receiver has a very long notch cut in the trigger well. I sell both single and double hook G2 triggers on my web site for $29 and I am a sponsor here.

I have my Romy-G kit built up on a NDS-3 receiver and went with a 2 hook trigger.. It's very easy to cut the relief for the 2nd hook.. I had the use of a milling maching to make it look perfect, but a dremel tool with a steady hand will work just as well.

The reason for the single hook trigger was to make room for the rate reducer on the full auto AKM FCG. FYI

Correct, and on a SA FCG if the single hook breaks, the disconnector will still engage the hammer, only problem is when you release the trigger the hammer will drop creating a >1 shot per trigger pull rifle.

....Thanks for the inputs. Looks like the double is the way to go. A little widening cut on the receiver is no big deal and the extra safety because of the second hook makes selecting the double a no-brainer, Thanks

easy to cut. drill a hole then slot w/dremel. you can make it a little shorter than stock and it serves as a trigger stop. be ready to do a little metal removal on the hammer of ANY tapco fcg. they're famous for the hammer riding the bolt. before break in they usually function as a bho.

If the bolt carrier is sticking back is this an indication that the bcg is hanging up on the hammer?
