I have probably put over 10,000 rounds down range since the release of the platform. One rifle has seen 4000+, rounds through it. Not once has my gas tube clogged on any of the gas guns. What powder are you using, and what load are you loading them with? These two items might help answer your question.
I have never broken a bolt or extractor either, but I never load to or above max load. I find that best accuracy SD and ES are a little below max, and their is no reason to load max with these Secant profiled bullets, they carry their velocity very well down range. So no need to try and hot rod them to shoot farther or get them to open up upon impact on game.
Load information will help answer your question, also what gas block are you using?
