I took off the turret to my fixed 20x SS scope it looks like to me there is the outer aluminum stem which has the revolution markings on it, then it has a brass insert in that goes inside of it. this has a bunch of ridges on it that must be what maintains the click action of the turret. the only problem that I can see with what you did is if you had to adjust bullet impact to zero a gun far to the right you might turn the turret outside of whatever is interfacing with those ridges on the stem. it looks like you actually removed the whole thing that holds the large o ring.
I really want to do this!!! but I admit I am chicken about doing it. for me I care less about being low profile and more about the knob not turning in inadvertently. low profile and not being able to turn it by accident are really nice things together.
