Selector Plates

Selector Plates for Reliable Fire Selection in your AEG

The selector plate is responsible for the mechanical control of fire selection within an AEG gearbox. This component works together with the cut-off lever and the trigger mechanism to determine whether your AEG functions in safe, semi or full auto mode.

Within this category, you will find selector plates from Guarder and Prometheus, supplemented with models from Point, Krytac and Retro Arms. These parts are part of AEG Gearbox Parts and are essential for correct fire control.

What exactly does a selector plate do?

• Activates or deactivates semi-auto via the cut-off lever
• Controls the electrical contact position
• Determines safe, semi or full auto mode
• Ensures consistent fire selection

When a selector plate is worn or deformed, problems can arise such as incorrect switching between fire modes or inconsistent semi behaviour.

For correct operation, the selector plate must work well with Cut Off Levers and the internal trigger mechanism.

Compatibility and Gearbox Type

Selector plates are platform and gearbox specific.

Important points to consider:

• V2 or V3 gearbox
• Platform-specific design
• Correct fit in gearbox shell
• Alignment with external fire selector

An incorrect selector plate can lead to incomplete switching or mechanical blockage.

Material & Construction

Selector plates are typically made of wear-resistant polymer with reinforced contact points.

Common features:

• Precision-moulded shape
• Reinforced contact zones
• Compatible with standard gearbox shells
• Wear-resistant finish

Correct installation and checking of freedom of movement are essential for reliable operation.

What can you find in this category?

• V2 selector plates
• V3 selector plates
• Upgrade variants
• Fire control components

Selector plates are suitable for players who want to optimise their gearbox for reliable fire selection.
