Yes, it is hard to get the hammer C-clip in. Like Luger flat mainspring. Needs vise to hold action, small screwdrivers to push C-clip in position. I think I pushed in from magazine well.

Waiting pin retaining plate to come. Most reviews say it's good, some reviews complaint plate fitness, too thin etc. I will know very soon

I did mine several years/decades ago. No flat plate then. if it is spring steel and notched like roller chain master link clip, it should be good. Please post pics & manufacturer/distributor when it comes.

But, don't you agree this being a design fault?

Well, it is not Kalashnikov's design fault...He designed selective fire, not semi-auto...

Blame importer...
