| Trigger
Slap is caused by out of spec Fire Control Group
parts, specify it occurs when the rifle's bolt recoils
hits the hammer which in turn moves down and locks
under the disconnector. When the hammer moves the
disconnector so It can be locked into place ready
for the next shot, the back of the disconnector
catches slightly on the trigger and causes it to
"slap" back against your finger. This
can cause pain and discomfort when shooting. |
| In
Romanian Rifles, the fault lies with Century's poorly
designed US made Fire Control Group. Instead of
properly researching a nice US made Fire Control
Group they copied a Full Auto design and skipped
some of the last machining steps. If you notice
in the photo how the Romanian group is more rounded,
this is because the Romanians sent their Fire Control
Group through a few more machine process. Century
on the other hand, to save cost, decided that this
was unnecessary and that the Fire Control Group
will still be operational with out those last few
crucial machining steps. What they didn't realize
is that it creates a uncomfortable fire control
group. |
|
| So
to fix slap there are two ways this can be accomplished,
the first is to purchase a new properly designed
US made Fire Control Group, I recommend the one
from Red Star Arms (see the review in the menu to
the left), or second you can fix it your self.
To fix it your self you will need a Dremel and
a couple of grinding stones to go with it.
First completely unload, fieldstrip, and remove
your rifles fire control group. If you don't know
how to fieldstrip your rifle, or remove your fire
control group see the corresponding tutorials
on the menu to the left.
Now grab your disconnector and observe the tab
at the rear of it, this is unnecessary on a semi
auto rifle and is part of the problem. Also take
notice of the bottom of the disconnector near
the disconnector spring hole. If you notice how
blocky it looks compared to the original semi
auto Romanian disconnector. These two areas are
the cause of trigger slab so we must correct the
problem.
|
| Take
your Dremel and cut the area to the right of the
red line off, go slowly and take your time. Make
sure don't cut any thing off of the front of the
disconnector, this could cause slam fires possibly
killing you and or destroying your rifle. Leave
the blue area alone for now. |
|
 |
With that area cut off you are now finished.
You can either (A) put every thing back together,
or (B) kill two birds with one stone by going
to the FCG Polishing tutorial while every thing
is in pieces. If you shoot your rifle and still
have trigger slap shave just a tiny bit off of
the area under the blue line in the photo to the
left.
|
| If your
trigger slap still exist, you may have to replace
the FCG with another one. I suggest getting a Red
Star Adjustable Trigger becuase they are so comfortable
to shoot with. |
| BTW if you
screw up your parts or hurt your self I take no
responsibility. |
