- description
The auto sear is what holds and releases the hammer when the selector is over. It is a small part doing a lot of work, and on a gun that gets run hard in full auto the factory one is usually the first thing to round off.
This is a straight replacement in stainless steel, CNC machined rather than cast, so the engagement surfaces stay square instead of wearing into a rounded profile that slips. CTM finish it with their MAF polishing process, which is about how smoothly the sear releases rather than how it looks.
It is a bench job of a few minutes with the lower apart, and it is the sort of part worth having in the box before you need it.

Good to know before you buy
A worn sear is one of the common causes of an AAP that will not hold in full auto, or that doubles when it should not. If yours has started behaving oddly, look here before you look at the gas.
It replaces the factory sear rather than altering anything else, so the trigger feel stays as it was.
The auto sear spring is not in this package. If yours is tired as well, the spare spring package covers it.
Frequently asked questions
What does the auto sear actually do?
It catches and releases the hammer when the selector is set to full auto. If it is worn, the gun misbehaves in that mode specifically.
Will this change my trigger pull?
No. It replaces the sear only; the trigger components are untouched.
Is the spring included?
No, the sear alone. The springs are sold as a set — see the spare and upgrade parts listing.
Does it fit the compact AAP-01C?
Yes, both frames take the same sear.
How hard is it to fit?
You need the lower stripped, which is a short job with the right punch. If you have never had the frame apart, allow an evening rather than ten minutes.
