- description
Putting an RMR-footprint red dot on an AAP-01 means mounting it to something, and the something wants to be steel. A polymer mount flexes under recoil and a red dot that moves is worse than iron sights that do not.
This set is the steel adapter plus a matching front sight, which is the pairing that actually works: a co-witnessed front post is what you fall back on when the dot dies mid-game, and the standard front sight sits at the wrong height once an optic is fitted.
Action Army publish a parts list and diagrams rather than a datasheet, and no description is published for this part, so what is stated is the fitment, the material implied by the name and what is in the set. We are not going to put a weight on it.

Good to know before you buy
Check your red dot is RMR footprint before ordering. Several popular micro dots are not, and an adapter for the wrong pattern is money gone.
The optic will sit higher than the standard sights, which is why the front sight comes with it. Expect to re-zero.
Action Army publish no weight for this set. Steel is heavier than the polymer it replaces, and that is as precise as we can honestly be.
It is a mount and a sight, not an optic. The red dot is a separate purchase.
Frequently asked questions
What optics does this take?
Anything on the RMR footprint. Check your sight before you order, because footprints vary more than the marketing suggests.
Why steel rather than aluminium?
Rigidity under recoil. A mount that flexes lets the dot wander, and a wandering dot is worse than no dot.
Is an optic included?
No. The set is the adapter and the front sight.
Why does it come with a front sight?
An optic changes the sight line, so the standard front post ends up at the wrong height. This one is cut to suit.
How much does it weigh?
Not published. Action Army put out diagrams rather than figures and none are published.
