Make sure you have the matte grey BCG vs the phosphate one. The the strike face of phosphate BCG is prone to deforming and dead-lining the gun. I believe they fixed the issue with the nickle plated BCGs.

Is it prone to doing this without full-auto mag dumps?

I ran about 25K rounds through two Ares piston converted LMT's. I started developing some problems running cheaper steel cased ammo and ultimately case rim failures. Now the conversion pistons aren't bad because they drop in and can be removed if you want to go back to DI. Overall I did like the piston conversions for what they were but at the same time- they dump a lot of carbon under the handguards. Mine however were set up with Vltor CAS-V rails- which required removal to clean up the barrels. I think if I was running better ammo a majority of the time I would have had less problems.

Which PWS do you have? I have been looking at their Mk111 Mod 2 which looks really nice. Be perfect for attaching a can to.
That is interesting, can you be more specific about issues and problems you encountered? What went wrong? What did you not like? How many rounds did you put through it? What did the CS do that wasn't to your satisfaction?
Not that GarandThumb is the last source on everything, but I appreciate his reviews. He did a great review on the PWS vs. HK 416 from his experience. He put a lot of rounds through his PWS and had great things to say about it.
