I have never had these issues with mine and I have put over 18k rds through it since I converted over from the auto disk with adjustable charge bar.

I have over 25k rds through my turret though and I do not recall ever needing to replace that little black plastic square. I also do not short stroke because I think THAT is what will chew up your plastic square thingy.

Well GOOD for him then for finding a fix for himself and others. I will stick to my dropper until I actually have any issues.
