On a gun that weighs a couple of hundred grams dry, that is the difference between a handguard you forget about and one you resent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt mounts onto the under rail. On an AAP-01C the under rail is already there; on a full-size AAP-01 you need to fit one first, which is worth knowing before the parts are on the bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was drawn alongside Action Army’s barrel extensions, and the two together are what their own copy calls the enhanced kit. The handguard works on its own, but the pairing is the intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack and red are the two colours Action Army make, so what you see here is the whole range rather than a subset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:16px;color:#1B3A6B;margin:18px 0 8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#1B3A6B;color:#fff;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:7px 12px;text-align:left;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:7px 12px;text-align:left;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eAction Army AAP-01 and AAP-01C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eGuard and rail together come to under 100 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eOnto the under rail; an AAP-01 needs an under rail fitted first\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eCNC machined 6061 aluminium, as stated for the handguard and extension pairing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBlack and red, both at the same price\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eRange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eBoth colourways Action Army produce\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:16px;color:#1B3A6B;margin:18px 0 8px;\"\u003eGood to know before you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn AAP-01C has the under rail already.
