CTM CNC Speed Magwell for AAP-01/C

The grip mouth on a stock AAP is square and narrow. Under adrenaline, with gloves, looking somewhere other than your hands, that narrow opening is what makes you miss the well and have to look down. Flaring it out gives the magazine a funnel to find instead of an edge to catch on.

At 30 g it is a modest addition, and all of it sits low on the grip rather than out at the muzzle, so the gun still points the way it did. It bolts straight onto a factory frame.

Ten finishes, eight anodised and two electroplated, the latter at a small premium.

Specifications

Good to know before you buy

This is for a standard frame. If you are already running an aftermarket lower, check the mouth profile before ordering, because a machined frame may not take it.

A flared mouth makes the grip fractionally wider at the base. On a small hand that is usually welcome extra support, but it is a change you will feel.

The two electroplated finishes carry a higher price than the eight anodised ones. The part is the same.

Frequently asked questions

Is the compact AAP-01C frame covered too?
Yes — both lower frames are listed for this magwell.

Will it work with an extended magazine or a drum?
It is designed to sit alongside the rest of the mag system rather than restrict it, so base plates, extension plates and the M4 adapter are all meant to coexist with it. Check the fit of a drum on your own build, since those vary.

Does it make the gun heavier?
Thirty grams, low down on the grip. It is noticeable in the hand and it does not change the balance the way muzzle-end weight does.

Is any hardware in the box?
The magwell on its own, one piece. Keep the screws from whatever you take off until the new one is fitted.

Will this help if my reloads are slow?
It helps with the part where the magazine meets the gun. If you are slow because the mag is coming out of the pouch badly, a magwell will not fix that.
