Army Custom 5.1/4.3 Hi-Capa Series Part – Front Fiber Sight (R501-A-015)
This is a genuine Army Armament (Army Custom) replacement front fibre sight for 5.1/4.3 Hi-Capa pistols, part number R501-A-015. Army Armament is known for affordable, well-built gas blowback pistols, especially its Hi-Capa models, and it supplies official spare parts so owners can keep their pistols running for years.
A fibre-optic front sight gathers ambient light into a small bright dot, making it much quicker to pick up the front sight in a hurry, which is especially helpful in CQB and fast-paced games. This original replacement restores the front sight if yours has been damaged or lost.
Why replace it
Front sights stick up from the slide and are often the first thing to be damaged when a pistol is dropped or knocked against a barricade. The fibre insert can also crack or fade over time. An original replacement restores the bright aiming point that helps with fast target acquisition.
It is also an easy way to bring a well-used pistol back to looking its best.
Fitting
The front sight is fitted to the slide, so you will usually need to remove the slide from the frame. Note how the old sight is fixed before removing it, then fit the new sight in the same way and make sure it is secure and straight. Check your point of aim against a target afterwards.
Before starting, remove the magazine, make sure the pistol is unloaded and the magazine is empty of gas and BBs. Take photos as you strip the pistol so you can reassemble it in the same order, and work over a tray so small springs and pins are not lost.
If you are not comfortable stripping a gas pistol, a local airsoft technician can fit the part for you quickly.

Care and maintenance
Keep your pistol clean and free of grit, especially after outdoor games. Wipe the outside down with a lightly oiled cloth, and put a drop of silicone oil on the magazine seals and valves from time to time. Store magazines with a small amount of gas in them to keep the seals in good condition.
Clean the fibre insert gently with a soft dry cloth so it keeps gathering light well, and avoid solvents on the fibre.
