Action Army’s answer is this: the same sight produced by metal injection moulding, built to ensure reliable operation with CO2 magazines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you only ever run green gas you probably do not need it.
