CTM AAP-01/C 7075 Advanced Bolt – Green – CTM-ABS-025

Description

CTM AAP-01/C 7075 Advanced Bolt – Green

This is a CTM 7075 Advanced Bolt for the Action Army AAP-01 and AAP-01C gas blowback pistols, in green. Our original listing describes it as the V2 Advanced Bolt, with an improved groove design that eliminates the screw hole for better structural integrity, and lists a 6061 selector plate and a 7075 selector switch with it.

CTM TAC is a Taiwanese maker known for its upgrade and styling parts for the AAP-01 platform. Replacing the stock bolt carrier is one of the most popular AAP-01 upgrades, as it changes how the pistol feels when it cycles and lets you personalise its colour.

What it does

A retailer listing of CTM’s 7075 Advanced Bolt for the AAP01 describes a skeletonised design CNC-machined from 7075 aluminium that is much lighter than the original bolt carrier. A lighter bolt can cycle faster, giving a quicker rate of fire and a snappier felt recoil. The same listing describes an external fire selector for switching between semi and full auto, where the original selector sits inside the pistol, and calls it a drop-in installation that needs no modification.

Results depend on the pistol, gas, temperature and the rest of its setup, so test the pistol after fitting and before play.

Fitting

Make sure the pistol is unloaded and the magazine is removed before you start. Follow the AAP-01 manual or a reliable guide to strip the upper, note how the original parts sit and keep small parts in a tray. Fit the new bolt, selector plate and switch, then check the action moves smoothly by hand before reassembling.

If you are not confident working on your pistol, have the part fitted by an experienced technician.

Compatibility

Care and maintenance

Keep the bolt rails and contact points lightly lubricated with silicone oil, wipe away dirt after games, and check screws periodically. Put silicone oil on magazine seals regularly, use good quality seamless BBs and store the pistol clean and dry.

Who is it for?

Please note: Our original listing names a green bolt with a red selector plate and switch; please check the product images if the colour combination matters. Tools are not included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection, and have the replica chronographed at your site before play.
