    I put a double hook in my Saiga by filing another notch in the receiver, only took a couple of minutes. But most of my AKs have a single hook. There's no difference in performance or trigger pull between them.

    The Russians stopped using a double hook once they started with stamped receivers.

    Good to know. I have never needed one, so I never looked into them.:thumbsup:

    if you're intent on putting a double hook into a single hook receiver, don't ruin the receiver by cutting another notch.

    grind on the forward/bottom section of the ejection-side hook on the trigger until it breaks cleanly, but with no overtravel.

    beats the shit out of cutting a hole in your receiver, then having sloppy trigger feel.

    If you're gonna do it, at least do it right. ;)
