Default Re: Tweeking an AK for performance?
Best thing to do on your own would be to either:
A. Polish, not grind the contact surfaces of the trigger group.

B. Replace trigger group with Tapco G2, or Red Star Arms trigger. If it already has Tapco trigger, disregard. If you pull the trigger group out, replace the Shepherds Crook with Tapcos retention plate.

The bolt riding on the hammer is pretty common, no biggie. The AK is rugged, and durable. It is not designed to be a perfect polished machine. Keep that in mind, and enjoy it for what it is. Also, I don't recommend lightening the bolt carrier. Removing metal could possibly weaken it. Anyone have any experience with the rubber buffers?
