WE has the RATech trigger parts. I really recommend it, it's a bit expensive, but compare the price of both rifles and you quickly see it's not that bad.
For the slow ROF, here is the cheapest and easiest fix you will find on the internets:
150% Hicapa recoil spring.
Cut 1/4 and add at the end of the stock recoil spring, rear of the factory spring.
Alternatively, you can use the short spring from a KJW P226. They come with a long and short recoild spring, the short one is very stiff.
You can also use a "summer" recoil spring for WE SCAR. It's a drop-in replacement for the factory spring and greatly increases ROF, but not as much as the Hicapa spring.
It almost doubles the ROF and does not jam or prevent full bolt travel.
Bolt "lock" is a feature on the AK-74 "krebs" which "westernize" the AK with ambi-ish controls (other than the cutout for the bolt-up, there is a second flat to operate the fire selector with the index, making the bolt release/reload operable without going under the rifle with an inserted mag).
The "stop-fire" that GHK AKs have does not exist on real AKs, it's called "hammer down on empty chamber" WE has that too by the way, the hammer hits but does not cycle the gun or release gaz, it just goes "tock".

Ahh, thanks for the tip, I'll try that method on my AK.
