- description
A gas magazine that will not hold a charge overnight usually has a tired input valve rather than a leaking seal. It is the part the gas goes in through, it takes a hammering from every fill, and it is cheap to replace once you know that is what has gone.
This is Action Army’s own valve for their AAP-01 magazines, so the thread and the seat are the ones the magazine was built around. That matters more than it sounds on a part whose whole job is to seal under pressure.
Fitting it needs a valve key. If you have ever serviced a gas magazine you have one; if you have not, buy one before you start rather than reaching for pliers.

Good to know before you buy
A valve key is not included and you will not get the valve out cleanly without one. Pliers round the flats off and then you have a much bigger job.
If the magazine empties itself overnight but holds gas while you shoot, the input valve is the first thing to try. If it vents the moment you fill it, look at the output valve instead.
Keep the old valve until the new one has held pressure for a day. It is a two-minute swap back if the fault turns out to be elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
Will this fit the AAP-01C magazines too?
Yes. The valve is listed against the AAP-01 and AAP-01C magazines, which share the same magazine body.
How do I know the input valve is the problem?
A magazine that fills normally and then goes flat overnight is the classic symptom. One that will not take a charge at all is usually the output valve or the seal.
Do I need any tools?
A gas valve key. It is the only way to get the valve out without damaging it, and it is not supplied.
Is this a genuine Action Army part?
Yes, it is their own component for their own magazines rather than a generic replacement.
What does it weigh?
No weight is published for it. It is a small brass valve, and Action Army quote no figure.
