This spring is not buried inside the gas block like other springs but is on the outside with limited contact areas. Here is the information from their sight regarding replacement of the plunger and spring...
Inspect the Plunger for erosion when conducting the 1500-round cleaning process detailed above
or each time the plunger is removed during disassembly. Some erosion is normal. The Plunger may
be rotated in varying orientations during reassembly to limit erosion in any one portion of the
Plunger. Replace Plunger if more than 50% of the plungers diameter has been eroded, if function
changes, during barrel replacement, or during up-echelon maintenance. Plunger-replacement
interval, like barrel-replacement interval, will vary according to firearm configuration, chambering,
firing schedule and can be between 10,000 and 25,000 rounds. Replacement of the Wave Spring is
recommended any time a Plunger is replaced. Wave Spring and Plunger replacement are user-level
tasks.
That said, this is why I want to test this adj gas block myself..Every latest and greatest doodad means nothing until proven..If I can get 5000 rounds without any broken springs let alone their claim of 10,000 to 25000 rounds will be a win for me...
The other positive point of this system I forgot to mention is the ability to exchange different size plungers to fit the caliber and gas system..https://www.riflespeed.com/RS-Replacemen..._p_14.html
