This video provides a quick tip on installing an AK trigger retainer plate, a potential upgrade over the traditional "Shepherd's Hook." Brownells Gun Tech Caleb Savant demonstrates how to replace the hook with a retainer plate from aftermarket suppliers like Tapco or Power Custom. The process involves field stripping the rifle, removing the safety, and then the old retaining mechanism. The new plate is then easily installed, securing the hammer and trigger pins while allowing for simpler disassembly for cleaning and adjustments. The video covers the AK-47, AK-74, and AKM platforms and emphasizes improved ease of access to the fire control group.
