I bought an Egyption MAADI ARM project in 5.45. The seller said he couldn't get it to hand cycle correctly. I picked it up yesterday. While I own a couple of AK's I have never built one and do not have much experience with them. When hand cycling I quickly saw that the hammer is sitting way too high when it is cocked and held by the sear. The bolt hits the hammer at such a steep angle it is impossible to cock and would jam tight if forcefully attempted to cycle. I compared it to my other AK's and it appears as though the wrong trigger was used. I swapped out a trigger from my 7,62 Krinks and it seems to fix the issue. Have any of you run into this issue? I was not aware there were two heights for triggers. Pics shown for clarification. Wrong one is top. As you can see the sear catch is way higher than the disconnector catch. Thanks, jim
