I have an AKM-47 that was made by Interarms in Houston, Texas. As many AK-47 variants, it came with a
stock Tapco trigger group. I've put about 5k rounds through this over the last few years, and the trigger
group was getting worn, so I decided to replace it with an ALG Defense AKTEL enhanced trigger.
ALG Defense is a woman-owned company founded by Amy Lynn Geissele. You might have heard of her
parent company Giessele Automatics, if you own an AR-15. They make among other things, drop-in replacement triggers for the AR platform. This model trigger have a smoother pull, less creep, and is
much crisper than the Tapco trigger I had in it. These run as high as $120 but I found a place nearby
that had one for $64. It took a small amount of fitting, but only took about an hour to install it.
The old trigger, disconnector, hammer, and springs...
The new trigger, disconnector, hammer, and springs...
All done...
