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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\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;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eCNC-machined stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eFinishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eMAF polishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003ePackage contents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 12px;border:1px solid #eee;\"\u003eStainless steel auto sear, 1 piece\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\u003eA 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.
