Most Helpful Positive Review Best hammer spring for ak platform
Russian springs are usually the best. But these ALG hammer spring’s make for a much better tension feel when the hammer is striking the fireing pin. I would highly recommend getting this spring, one because it’s American made. And two it out does all its competitors.
Most Helpful Negative Review not strong enough to reset trigger
Installed it into my AK 104, wasn’t able to reset trigger. The spring was stretched making it week. Hopefully it was just a bad experience for me but this is what happened.

Braided Spring Does Not Fit

by P, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on May 16, 2024
The loop on the braided spring is too long and does not fit any hammers including ALG's own hammer. This is why some reviews say the hammer doesn't reset. Save yourself the headache and purchase any other brand from another retailer. ALG/Geissele is aware of the issue and is not doing anything about it but suggesting that yiu grind your trigger down to allow the hammer to reset. Why would I do that when plenty of others sell the proper sized hammer spring. Do not buy. You have been warned.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • Does not fit any AK hammers
Best Used for:
  • the trash can
Would recommend: No

mixed feelings

by tro jansky, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on January 27, 2022
Definitely works but I feel like the original Russian spring was more smooth. Maybe this needs to smooth out?

Kind of a b@tch to install as there is a lot of tension on the spring. I’d say if you have some soft primer strikes this may be for you but that’s really it.

No more light strikes

by Dayrel, Verified Owner from VA, United States Written on January 10, 2022
ALG anything is a good choice for an upgrade. I was having some light strikes on the primers and this was a simple install. Fixed the issue, price was right and does not interfere at all with the rifle. I have bought from ALG before for AR parts and they are well made and reliable.
Pros:
  • Price
  • Quality
  • reliable
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • AK

Great Spring

by AK Builder, from FL, United States Written on March 27, 2021
I researched several different products for builds and after reading several forms and working on varied fire control groups still had issues with light primer strikes i tried this spring out. It worked great in my AK build. 5 Stars on the quality. It resolved my issues with light hammer strikes. Highly recommend for any AK build.
