CTM Maximus HPA Frame Conversion for AAP-01 (Black)

The heart of this build is the CTM Maximus HPA Frame Conversion, transforming your traditional green gas AAP-01 into a fully functional HPA-powered beast. This conversion offers unmatched consistency, faster trigger response, and easier tuning via a standard M4-style air rig system. The Maximus frame provides reinforced internals, CNC-machined fit and finish, and enhanced ergonomics. It also enables use of AEG-style magazines (with included adapter), bringing massive ammo capacity to a formerly pistol-restricted platform.
