I used them for awhile in the 80's and had one frag out and distribute itself around the recoil spring and guide plug. I went to rack the gun and it felt weird... so I tore it down and cleaned it out. Perhaps they make them better these days.
I've never had a buffer related failure since I quit using them. I do know of two Wilson extractors that came chipped, new in the package; one I ordered via Brownells and another ordered by a friend. So I don't use those anymore, either.
