Ok here is the deal, i bought a fse FCG from a vendor at a gun show hoping to replace my current one in my SAR. I swapped the parts and noticed that the fse is a double hook and the orignal Century is a single hook, didint realygive it much thought, put it together and the dbl hook fse wont work! Damn...but i found if i replace the FSE trigger with the century sgl hook and leave the FSE hammer and sear, it seems to work, i havent tried firing yet, but dry function seems fine, does anyone see a problem with this configuration? Will this still fix the trigger slap problem, and does FSE make a single hook trigger?

BTW...the shepards hook didnt seem that bad too me, kinda expected worse from all ive heard.

Thanks in advance

Look at your trigger cutout: it has a slot on the left side (looking down into it) for the hook. Look at your trigger--each hook has a projection. When you put the new trigger in your receiver, the projection on the right side has no place to go, so it lays on the floor of the receiver, holding your hooks back and trigger lever forward.

You can cut off the right trigger hook, or make another slot in your receiver. The advantage of the double hooks is that if one breaks (something I've only seen on SARs with the US-made FCG) you have a second that still works. It was one of MTKs precautions--he didn't want someone getting killed because their rifle wouldn't work.
