Abstract
An adjustable trigger assembly adapted for installation into the carrier of an AK-47 and similar rifles. The assembly features a plurality of adjusting screws to adjust the force required for trigger pull, the over travel of the trigger after firing, and the forward rotational force and angle of a disconnector rotationally engaged in a slot in the trigger to thereby allow for adjustment of the force required during both stages of pull of a two stage trigger to fire the weapon. The device is adapted for engagement with the receiver of a conventional AK-47 in replacement of the original trigger mechanism and may be used with the original hammer or optionally may employ a replacement hammer which features limited contact with the trigger assembly to lessen the trigger pull required for firing.
Claims18
A trigger mechanism adapted for installation into the receiver of an AK47-rifle comprising:
- a trigger, said trigger adapted for rotational attachment to a pin engaging the receiver of said AK-47;
- said trigger having trigger lever;
- said trigger having a slot formed therein sized to accommodate a disconnector;
- said disconnector rotatable upon said pin from a first position to a second position closest to a trigger hook;
- said trigger having a hook portion adapted for engagement with a ledge portion of a rotationally mounted hammer communicating with a firing mechanism of said AK-47;
- said hammer rotatable from a cocked position to a firing position activating said firing mechanism by a means to bias said hammer to said firing position;
- said trigger having trigger lever;
- said trigger having a slot formed therein sized to accommodate a disconnector;
- said disconnector rotatable upon said pin from a first position to a second position closest to said trigger hook portion;
- said trigger having an engaged position biased toward said disconnector with said hook portion having a surface engaged with a ledge on said hammer thereby holding said hammer in said cocked position;
- an adjustment screw translateably engaged in said trigger at a position behind said lever, said adjustment screw adjustable to protrude varying distances from said trigger thereby providing a means for adjustment of the amount of surface of said hook portion engaged with said ledge;
- means to bias said disconnector to rotate on said pin toward said second position;
- and
- said trigger moveable from said engaged position to a disengaged position by application of force to said trigger lever thereby rotating it upon said pin and disengaging said surface of said hook position with said ledge, wherein pulling said trigger lever with a finger will disengage said trigger from said hammer allowing said hammer to rotate and fire AK-47.
