So, you own an AK; well played. Your next step should be to up your rifle’s performance without taking out a second mortgage. Usher in FIME’s FCG for AK- and RPK-based rifles, currently available at K-VAR Corp.
FIME Group FCG: Functionality meets Longevity
FIME Group has a sterling reputation for producing high-quality components for firearms, particularly for Kalashnikovs. Their parts are durable and pack a punch, all at an affordable price – the proverbial two birds with one stone idiom.
FIME’s FCG is specifically designed for the AK and RPK series of rifles. Think of it as the perfect set of cleats to slap on your runners before hitting the track.
In layman’s terms, it is designed to enhance your performance and overall experience regardless of your level of expertise.
The FCG + FIME’s Fire Control Group Genesis
The Fire Control Group refers to the internal components responsible for controlling the firing mechanism of a rifle. This includes: the trigger, hammer, disconnector, disconnector spring, stopper, and sleeve.
FIME Group spent over a year engineering its 2-stage trigger. It’s American-made and MIL-SPEC that comes completely assembled while delivering a drop-in construction.
Translation: the quality is top-notch and can be relied upon, particularly in situations when you can’t afford trigger malfunctions like a jam or misfire.
Furthermore, FIME’s FCG has a black oxide protective coating, ensuring it withstands environmental stressors.
FIME’s FCG Methodology
FIME’s FCG delivers a shortened, lighter trigger pull while the disconnector’s face makes full contact with the hammer to provide a secure lockup. The disconnector’s tail touches the rear receiver rivet, and the hammer retarder eliminates the transfer of energy (trigger slap) that can be experienced from inferior products.
