Set to be another smash hit from Action Army, the new AAC-C1 Athena rifle is set to redefine the accessibility and modularity of gas powered sniper rifles.
Lightweight, compact and super easy to load and fire, the AAC-C1 has a removable internal gas tank that provides power to the rifle.
In built iron sights for short range plinking, with the option of mounting a 20mm scope rail mount, available separately. You can see the rail mount here.
The rifle does not include a top scope rail mount, you can buy one here if you plan to mount
Unlike other bolt action rifles, it also has an in-built recoil effect, powered by an AEG-style spring and piston assembly. This provides the rifle with a notable kick and satisfying clunk with every shot.
It accepts standard VSR-style magazines which means you don't need to buy expensive proprietary gas powered magazines. Includes a single 50rd magazine.
The internal gas tank is a cylindrical device that is located inside the bolt slider itself.
14mm CCW thread on the barrel end for suppressor attachment.
You access it by lifting the top cover of the rifle, pulling back on the bolt handle and whilst holding the tank in place, slide the bolt handle back forwards again.
You can then remove the tank from the bolt, which is magnetized in place.
You can use standard 135PSI green gas which produces approx. 280fps with a 0.2g BB at 18C.
A fully charged gas tank is good for 50+ shots before having to re-gas.
The stock is made from a high quality polymer, with a metal barrel, upper receiver, bolt and bolt handle, front QD stud and QD sling holes, trigger, gas tank and rear QD sling holes.
Adjustable hop-up sliding lever is located on the left side of the frame.
Also includes an 8g CO2 gas adapter so you can power your AAC-C1 with CO2.
8g Co2 available here. Not compatible with 12g Co2 Cartridges.
A hugely versatile gun, with many aftermarket parts available.
