A small part that protects the whole gearbox

The anti-reversal latch is one of the most important components inside your AEG. Its job is to stop the gear set rotating backwards once the spring is released, which keeps the piston controlled and prevents your rifle from unintentionally double-firing during automatic fire. ASG’s Ultimate latch does that job to a far higher standard than most stock parts.

Quality materials where it counts

This latch is crafted from high-grade ball-bearing steel and aluminium alloy, paired with a high-grade piano-wire spring. That spring is the secret to its performance: it rebounds faster than inferior wire, so the latch engages the bevel gear cleanly and reliably every single time. The result is a durable, long-lasting component that stands up to hard use.

Built for demanding builds

On high-performance and high-speed AEGs the latch takes serious punishment, and softer standard parts wear out quickly. Upgrading to the ASG Ultimate latch reduces the risk of skipping and failure, protecting your motor and gears in the process. It fits both Version 2 and Version 3 gearboxes.

Fit it yourself or let us help

Frequently asked questions

What does an anti-reversal latch do?

It stops the gears rotating backwards after the piston is released. That prevents the AEG from unintentionally double-firing and keeps the piston under control, protecting the whole drivetrain.

Does it fit my gearbox?

It is designed for Version 2 gearboxes (M4, MP5, G3) and Version 3 gearboxes (AK, G36, SCAR), covering the large majority of AEGs on the market.

Why upgrade from the standard latch?

The piano-wire spring rebounds faster and more reliably than cheaper wire springs, so the latch engages the bevel gear every time. On hot, high-speed builds a quality latch is far less prone to skipping or failing.

Is the anti-reversal latch a wear part?

Yes. On high-performance and high-speed builds it takes a lot of load and can wear over time, so it is a sensible part to keep as a spare and to replace during servicing.

Can you fit it for me?

Yes. Our in-house Tech-It service can install this during a gearbox service or rebuild. Contact the Rochester store to arrange it.
