Guarder Gearbox Anti-Reversal Latch for V2 M4/V3 AK AEG (GG08-09)

A Guarder anti-reversal latch for V2 M4/V3 AK gearboxes prevents the gears from spinning backward, which protects the gearbox from damage, prevents double feeds, and maintains piston tension. Upgrading to a high-quality latch like Guarder's can also improve durability, especially in high-stress, high-speed builds where stock parts are prone to breaking. 

Benefits of an anti-reversal latch

• Prevents gearbox damage: The latch stops the gears from rotating backward when the trigger is released. This prevents the piston and gears from being forced in the wrong direction, which can strip teeth or break other internal components.

• Prevents double feeding: Without the latch, the gears could reverse and push the tappet plate back after a shot. This can cause another BB to be loaded into the chamber, leading to a double feed when the trigger is pulled again.

• Maintains tension: It keeps the piston held under tension by the main spring, ensuring more consistent and reliable performance on subsequent shots.

• Enables safe spring release: A properly functioning anti-reversal latch allows you to safely release the tension on the spring by pulling the trigger while holding the latch back, a process that requires precision and care.

• Increases durability: Upgraded anti-reversal latches are often made from stronger materials like steel or aluminum, which are more resistant to wear and breakage than stock plastic parts.

• Enhances performance in high-speed builds: High-stress, high-speed airsoft builds put extra wear on internal components. A durable anti-reversal latch is essential to withstand this stress and prevent premature failure.
