proper aoe correction also involves spacing the piston rack at full forward with the spring in to meet the pickup tooth at the angle in which the most surface area of the 2 meet. Putting a sorbo on top of the rubber pad moves this far from where it needs to be and can wear your pickup tooth on the piston faster, or at worse, cut right through it or snap the first tooth off the sector.
Of course. it's interesting to note however that in my experience with several VFC guns gluing the sorbo directly to the pad and using a lonex piston produced a great AOE when staging with the spring. I have used several of these rifles over the years frequently with no ill effects of wear on the lonex piston.
