MatthewS's Review of Tapco AK Retaining Plate Phosphate Coating Finish 16618
I received and installed the item and did not have any problems at first, but like another reviewer I wound up having to modify the plate by shaving down the quick removal tab. Additionally, the plate would move side to side inside the receiver due to nothing actually holding the plate against the right side of the receiver. Therefore I had to get a spring with a large enough diameter to fit around the shaft of the safety level so as to ensure that the plate is secured against the receiver at all times. Note, before affixing the spring to the safety level I had some mild pin creep, the hammer and trigger pins would walk outward ever so slightly which cause the hammer to make contact with both the retaining plate and the receiver. Once the tab was shaved down and the spring was installed I had no other issues. I do not think it is a bad part or design per se, just a large variation in configuration and tolerances from one AK to another. The ALG hammer was wider than the OEM hammer which exacerbated the issue.
Pros:
Holds the pins securely in place when using a spring on the safety lever shaft
Cons:
Required modification
Best Used for:
All AK variants
Would Recommend:
Yes
