Expect it. The only time I've snapped G&P gears is right away on first use of the given set (I've done it multiple times). Didn't require strong springs or any constant usage. Just right away in the first minute or two.

He (the gun-doc) mentioned that he'd try to get a set of SHS gears for it as a warranty resolution - he pulled another G&P gear out of his toolbox with the very same issue, but it was out of an M4 that at least saw some use out of it, before it failed.

Don't bother with G&P replacement gears. The SHS are actually far superior and aside from SiegeTek they're pretty much as good as you can do.
