I am not impressed with the pads on the rear of the carrier. Seths anti tilt carrier on the other hand is a better Idea.
There is another part of the problem which I think you may not realize. And I my self learned this from M4C thanks to Robb , Steven & Todd. I will try to explain it on a DI system the gas enters the carrier chamber pushing the carrier to the rear. What most fail to realize is that it is also pushing the bolt forward reducing the load on the locking lugs while they are disengaging from the barrel extension . You have none of that on a piston conversion the carrier is slapped to the rear as the carrier unlocks the bolt from the barrel extension. I believe that the [sorry if I got the name wrong] PWS system uses a spring to try to simulate this :/ I am not impressed with that solution neither. On modern designed ground up piston systems they have fewer number of locking lugs but they are bigger & beefier to handle this.
