Should I keep it even with an AB mosfet? I've already got deans, the wires may come sooner or later. And it's good to know I won't need gears. Thanks
EDIT: I'm looking at pistons and heads since metallicafatcat didn't seem to optimistic about SRC in that area. I know Vindi recommends a bearing piston head in his DMR write-up, but I have read elsewhere that having two bearings causes the spring to spin as opposed to turning on its axis, negating the positive effect of a bearing. I'm leaning toward Vindi for the facts, but I could use some reassurance.
I've really never had a issue using a bearing spring guide with a bearing piston head, or using just one bearing in either configuration. The problem comes when you get a junk spring (ie. Systema - they make extremely good parts, but their springs are garbage) where imperfections cause them to break.
As for the piston, I would look into the G&P pistons or a Madbull pistons, those are what I've had the best luck with, and are what is in all of my guns. As a sidenote to commend Madbull pistons, when they first came out, as an 'first buyer' offer, they sold them for $1 + shipping, which was like another $2-3. Anyways, I used that piston in the weapon of mine that has gotten by far the most use (of course, before my PTW...), but it lasted for a solid 4 years before getting replaced. Actually, the piston was still working just fine, but was beginning to wear out so I replaced it during routine maintenance when I noticed it. So I keep a few spares on hand in case a teammate has a piston failure.
For piston heads, I don't know whether that gearbox comes with a bore up piston or not. If it does, (which it doesn't look like) it can only use a silent bore up piston head. If not, any polycarb pistonhead should do, just replace the o-ring either via Vindi's method of stretching it or with a #14 o-ring from any local hardware store, and you should be golden.
As for the anti-reversal latch, almost every single one of my guns has an AB mosfet in it, but they all also have the anti-reversal latch. Really, you never know what is gonna happen, so I plan for the worst. That mosfet may fail at any time, but that anti-reversal isn't, so why remove it?
