Super Safety Review

[skoda]

Mine does. I have a SkoPrints made metal FRT with a FIME trigger (what they recommended) and the slap is fairly strong and long but not finger numbing sharp like some semi AKs can be. I think that I can reduce it a bit, but not totally, if I grind on the disconnector and hammer a bit to shorten the reset distance. I just haven't gotten around to trying. Right now it works perfectly so I'm not in a hurry to mess with it.

If I get my krink working with the ALG, I thought about doing this same thing with my PSA

Let us know how it goes if you try first

Try it with H2 and H1 weight.

I’ve never used that kind of buffer. Do the weights slide like a conventional buffer?

Yes, Odin has sliding internal weights.

Tested H3-->carbine spring-->spingco blue--springco red and it got better but still wouldn't fire more than 4 rounds.
Tested 10 round ploymer mag-->30 round metal mag-->30 round pmag...same issues.
Tested 2 types of steel ammo to rule that out...same issues.

Was packing up and thought "try brass ammo ya nincompoop" and it started to work perfectly, so much so that I used brass ammo on every one of the previous configurations and I didn't have a single issue. I knew steel ammo isn't as reliable but I was kinda surprised how consistently I had the same problems and nothing would work with steel but switching over to brass allowed every setup to work perfectly.

Lesson learned...time to dust off the Dillon because this thing eats ammo.

A lot of people have good results with steel ammo. I have never had good results in anything. Brass is all I've used for years. With my luck even an AK would choke on steel if I used it.

You are almost literally repeating my feelings hahahaha. At least its not just me.

With the h3 + springco red spring it's comically tame and this is out of a 16" carbine. Just for kicks I'm going to build a 20" A2 style rifle and SS it. I'm on a pursuit to see how tame it can really get.

I'm hearing good things about ynshot 5000 hydraulic buffer and Tubb lightweight flat wire spring

I have a 18" 5.56 with rifle length gas. Flatwire spring, h3 buffer. Carbine tube. Gassed for a can. Very smooth, runs 630-650 with green tips and handloads. Only thing it hates is hornady frontier ammo. Turns into a bolt action.

I am a proponent of using hydraulic buffers in firearms wherever one can be used. Hydraulic buffers can be especially effective at rate of fire reduction in full-auto mode in some firearms such as the M16, while also reducing recoil even in semi-auto operation.

MHO, YMMV, etc.

630-650

imo, the slower ROF makes the SS usable, shooting a buzz saw gets old fast

I didn't realize how well enhanced buffers and springs could help, some of the stuff I see make the AR platform look quite controllable. Are there a few good brand names I should start with, not sure if some are night & day better than others when it comes to reliability.

I haven't had failures with any of the Enidine (discontinued in the commercial market), B & T, or KynSHOT buffers that I have, so I can't say anything definitive about reliability. From what I've read KynSHOT is pretty reasonable if one of their buffers fails.
Best of luck.

The ALG trigger took care of trigger slap in the krink 5.45

I thought I was smart enough to figure out how to modify the other AK triggers based upon the ALG.

But apparently I’m not that smart

yet 😀

 

[skoda]

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I need to get an ALG trigger. These 'cheap' FRTs are starting to cost me a lot of money..............

 

[Alaska_Shooter]

I see that some places offer different cams for the FIME trigger than the ALG trigger. I’m at a loss to understand why the cams would be different?

Maybe solving that question would explain the trigger slap with FIME if it’s using a non-FIME cam

 

[skoda]

My FRT came with specific instructions to use the FIME trigger group. They also mentioned ALG as an alternative but also cautioned that it might need modification to use that trigger group. I was looking at ALGs for sale and found different models for the AK. Which one did you use?

 

[Alaska_Shooter]

Buy this:

The only reason that I quoted myself is that the sale at that time was half off. Wish I would’ve bought another one. 🤣

There’s rumors that a cassette style AK trigger will be released in December. That could be the much better solution to all AK’s. But time will tell.

 

[GunsCarsPlanes]

Did you guys see the stark80 SS? I guess their cam is unique to them and they have anti walk pins or something... just seems a little to "one off" for me. Heck I barely even want to try anything outside of the two more well known brands I'm sticking with.
