Action Army AAP-01 MIM Rear Sight — a metal injection moulded rear sight, made because the standard one struggles behind a CO2 magazine. High-strength metal where the original is not.

CO2 hits harder than green gas and the AAP-01’s rear sight is one of the parts that notices. Action Army’s answer is this: the same sight produced by metal injection moulding, built to ensure reliable operation with CO2 magazines.

Metal injection moulding gets you the strength of a machined part at the price of a moulded one, which is the right compromise on a component this size. It is a direct replacement rather than a redesign.

If you only ever run green gas you probably do not need it. If you have gone to CO2, or you are about to, this is on the list.

Good to know before you buy

This is a CO2 part in intent. On green gas the standard sight is usually fine, so do not feel you are missing out.

It is sometimes miscatalogued as a rifle elsewhere. It is a pistol part; the code and the fitment are what matter and both are for the AAP-01.

It is the rear sight only. The front sight is a separate part, and the steel RMR adapter set includes one.

No weight is published for the sight by Action Army.

Frequently asked questions

Why would I need this over the standard sight?
It is built for CO2 pressure. The high-strength MIM construction is there to keep it working reliably with CO2 magazines.

What is MIM?
Metal injection moulding. Fine metal powder is moulded then sintered, giving close to machined strength at moulded-part cost.

Does it fit the compact?
Yes — it is listed for the AAP-01 and the AAP-01C.

Is a front sight included?
No. This is the rear sight on its own.

Do I need it for green gas?
Generally not. It is aimed at the extra pressure CO2 brings.

💡 Titan Forge Airsoft tip: If you are switching to CO2, change this and the recoil parts in the same session rather than chasing failures one at a time. More in AAP01 parts.
