Captain Durka Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Chaps, im thinking of buying the dedicated extended mags for my AAP, but I already have standard short ones, would run into some issues with mixing long and short mags? Thank you for any info given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I use my AAP pistol as my back up sniper "oh shit" gun, I'll just take out 1 extended mag with me for convenience. Just remember to keep the gas topped up!

Really appreciate the feedback, the only thing that kept me from buying an extended mag was a mate of mine said that there would be a pressure difference, thereby I had change hop up depending on the mags being used, short or long. That seems to be debunked as of now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevobeavo Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I'm now the proud owner of one. Feels completely different to my TM hi capa I sold this morning but I'm looking forward to doing some basic upgrades. leadly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadly Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Today's job was to install my Airtac TDC. Fairly simple to do, kit is nicely made and even supplied a drill bit. Ran out of time to test it as I had the school run to do but I'll do some testing and some photos tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevobeavo Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Got the holster on a molle adapter last night. Had to quickly drill another hole in the adapter and through the inside of the holster it's self. Very secure and looking forward to trying it out tomorrow. leadly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do quite like the holster, however it took me a bit of getting used to as the release lever works the opposite way to the DTD one I use for my MK23!

Ive only ever used your normal type holster and I think this feels more natural for me. Within a few minutes of wearing it could easily unholster and reholster in seconds.

Spartan09 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 ran the aap01 today at AI500, and it was performing beautifully, easily outranging most of the AEGs onsite.... until it wasnt was popping a few shots (semi-auto only) and the bolt jammed half way back. tried recocking the gun as my first thought was that it had cooled down too much on green gas, but it was jammed solid, so was put back into my box and i grabbed my tippmann to finish the day... just stripped it down and found the hammer has broken, a piece of it lodged under the fire selector switch, and it appears to have gouged the bolt carrier.. no pics at the moment as phone just died on me, but will be updated shortly leadly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevobeavo Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I used mine yesterday for the first time in anger, holster worked beautifully. The gun Ran flawlessly on the WE mag in semi and auto but with the action army one, after a few shots the bolt wouldn't retract fully without a little push so I think I'll get another WE mag. Also with this hammer failure. What type is best? Ive also seen something about a 8/9mm bearing. Is that any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing wise, I've heard mixed reviews about the use of one from the AAP-01 Facebook group. The bearing is a reasonable fix if you can't get hold of a new hammer I guess. If I remember correctly I did look for a bearing but struggled to find any so had no choice but to fork out nearly half the guns value on a new hammer!

With a small amount of hop it chucked .30s down range well. And little bit more and it sent them spinning up to the clouds lol. I'll maybe have to see what I can get hold off so I have something when it eventually breaks then. Cheers leadly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I'm still yet to use my AAP SMG since I fitted the Airtac TDC. I've got a game on sunday which i was hoping to get a bit of use out of my VSR before switching to my MTW, so could use the AAP SMG as a very loud and agressive sniper sidearm! Will probably fill it with 0.32's as I have plenty of those laying around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concretesnail Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Afternoon all, I've joined the app-01 club, couldn't resist 20% off. First test shot and its lifting .3g nicely. Now I need some mags and such to make it game ready. As I understand stand, after reading the thread, it's WE g18 mags for best results and I have a question you lovely folks might be able to answer, regarding holsters. I've just tried it in my warrior holster which takes almost everything but the enlarged mag release sometimes catches the holster release, making the magaine come loose. How thick is the stock magazine release? Iis there enough meat there to dremel off the top and stipple the release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as holsters go, you should definitely crack out the Dremel, but shave off the holster instead! This because the Warrior holster seems to have this design defect where the plastic core presses against the mag release on a few handgun models (hi capas mostly). This way you'll have a more versatile holster and keep the mag release as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concretesnail Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 @SkaratSkara this is something. I've not found but I don't have a hi cappa and up until yesterday I'd only run m&p and baretta pistols. Thank you for the advice. Another question. Are A.w.e magazines any good? I hadn't seen the name before and the are tagged with being for the aap but I hesitated as I don't know them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say it's quote "full CNC'd steel meaning it's rock solid and won't break unlike other 'alloy' made counterparts. It's even QPQ hardened (Google it :)) for extra durability and corrosion resistance". https://www.airsoftworld.net/ctm-steel-hammer-for-the-aap-01-and-tokyo-marui-glock-compatibles.html leadly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
