Description
APS Forged Match FMR MOD1 AEG (Red/Black, ASR-115X)
The APS Forged Match FMR MOD1 is an M4-style electric airsoft rifle from APS, finished in a striking red and black colour scheme under the code ASR-115X. The FMR MOD1 is part of APS’s custom range of AR-style rifles, and this version is aimed at players who want a rifle that looks different from the sea of plain black M4s on the field.
APS is a Hong Kong manufacturer known for innovative designs and its competition-inspired rifles. The FMR MOD1 combines the familiar M4 layout with a modern handguard and custom styling, and the red accents give it a distinctive look that suits practical-shooting-inspired loadouts or simply players who want their rifle to stand out.
Build and design
A Swiss retailer listing for the closely related APS ASR115X FMR MOD1 BR gives a length of about 875mm and a weight of about 2.7kg, and describes construction from aluminium alloys, polymers and steel. Our listing for this rifle gives the same code, ASR-115X, so the Swiss listing should be a close guide.
The red and black finish is the main visual feature; please check the product photos for exactly which parts are red, and for the handguard, stock and sights fitted.
Performance and internals
The same listing gives a Version 2 gearbox, a long motor, a 380mm inner barrel, a variable hop-up and semi and full-auto fire modes, with a 14mm counter-clockwise thread for muzzle devices. It is described as a blowback (BR) rifle, which on APS rifles generally means a moving bolt that cycles as you fire, adding movement and character.
The listing gives a T-plug (Deans-type) connector. Please check the manual or ask us about battery space and type before buying a battery for this rifle.
Magazine
The Swiss listing gives a 300-round high-capacity magazine. As an M4-pattern rifle, the FMR MOD1 is designed around M4/M16-style AEG magazines; try one spare before buying several, as tolerances vary between brands.

APS uses some of its own parts in its gearboxes, so confirm compatibility with us or a technician before buying upgrades. Use 0.20g to 0.25g high-quality seamless BBs.
Care and maintenance
Take the battery out after every game and store it separately at a sensible storage charge, rather than leaving it connected inside the replica. Charge LiPo batteries with a proper balance charger, keep them in a LiPo-safe bag and never leave them charging unattended; NiMH packs should be charged with a smart charger that stops when the pack is full.
Run a cleaning rod with a lightly dampened patch through the inner barrel from time to time to clear dirt and residue, which keeps the hop-up consistent. Use good-quality seamless BBs, never reuse BBs that have been on the ground, and wipe the outside over after damp or muddy games. Leave gearbox work, shimming and spring changes to a competent technician.
Coloured finishes can mark if dragged against rough surfaces, so carry the rifle in a padded bag between games.
Who is it for?
The Forged Match FMR MOD1 suits players who want a capable M4-style rifle with a bold red and black finish that stands out, and anyone who enjoys competition-inspired styling.
Please note: Battery, charger and BBs are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye protection, and full-face protection where your site requires it, when using or testing any airsoft replica.
