There's a part inside called a "Shepherd's Crook", it's a wire retainer for the trigger and hammer pins- it rests in a groove on the pins, just inside the receiver on the left side. Most likely the shepherd's crook is on the wrong side of the raised ridge on the trigger pin, and not keeping it in place.

^^^ This.

Do yourself a favor and get a retaining plate to replace the Shephards crook. Retaining plates are easier to install and remove.

Agreed, Google "tapco retaining plate" for more info on that. You can also replace the shepherd's crook with small "E" clips, though I don't remember the size needed.

I just put the Tapco unit in my Yugo last night, nice piece and fits well. If you don't have a G2 trigger I'd get that as well, since you will already be digging around in there.

the retaining plate is a way better design than the factory wire they put in.
