Checked AGDs parts page and they state this piece needs to be replaced once a year.
I've had the xvalve long enough to put 10,000-12,000 shots on it and the bumper is pretty shredded already.
Obviously I need a new one and based on my this experience, I'll probably replace it every 5 cases of paint or so.
My question is, how many shots are these things supposed to take? Did mine die out prematurely? I don't mind replacing them, but at this rate, I'll replace one every other month. A far cry from the once per year estimate.
Anyone else have excessive bumper wear out of their retro/xvalves or is this a sign of a problem elsewhere with the gun? Could certain brands of oil cause premature breakdown of the material? (i'm using standard paintball oil, just not sure of the name)
