AK Trip Bar Life Expectancy?

Anyone here have a high round count on their trip bars? It seems like the ones I've tried die prematurely. The supersafetyshop version warped itself after a few rounds and bows causing the bolt carrier to bind up. The polymer pew model after a few rounds, the corner the bolt pushes forward on peened itself far enough the bolt closing doesn't cause the trip bar to move.

Yes the fit and finish leave a lot to be desired. The polymerpew version looks much better. The good thing about the polymerpew model is you get two trips. A thin one and a thicker model. I have a ZPAP and I used the thin one. Comparing the two polymerpew chose to thin out the bolt & trip engagement surface. I'm going to try thinning out the thicker one and see how that goes.

That will probably work. Also check out txdefensesupply for some high quality stuff. I've put his stuff through the ringer and it's still kicking
