Battle Arms EKG Trigger for AK-47/AK-74 Stamped Receivers - Steel Matte Finish
- Firearm Group:
- AK Platform
The Battle Arms EKG Trigger for AK-47/AK-74 stamped receivers brings a measurable upgrade to the ergonomics and shootability of your AK without the custom-build price tag. If you've run a mil-spec AK trigger and noticed that awkward "hump" during charging, the EKG's enhanced hammer geometry eliminates that dead spot and delivers the smooth, refined feel you get from a high-end build—but right out of the box on a stamped receiver platform.
Built from thru-hardened steel (HRC 42–45, no soft core) and manufactured in the USA, the EKG is engineered to handle repeated firing without the internal wear or carrier mushrooming that can result from over-hardened hammers. The trigger itself features a comfortable shoe and a distinctive bow design that breaks clean and crisp compared to standard mil-spec fare. You'll notice the short, smooth, positive reset and the welcome absence of trigger slap—all hallmarks of a properly tuned trigger assembly.
The kit includes the hammer, trigger, disconnector, disconnector spring, and axis pin sleeve. Two raised dimples on the hammer back make it easy to index the hammer spring during installation. Note that trigger and hammer springs are not included; you'll source those separately. The EKG is guaranteed to fit stamped AK-47 and AK-74 variants; use on other platforms may require fitment and is not guaranteed by Battle Arms.
