I'm running strictly Pmags, currently. Again, they are steel cased rounds with supposed brass coating.

edit: I'm actually a bit surprised that these do typically run in a 16" Mid-length as they feel like they are very heavily coated/lacquered. Almost to the point of looking and feeling like a fake round.

For what it is worth, my BCM upper needed about 150 rounds before it ran Wolf without hickup. I only had 2 fail to feeds which resulted in short stroking in the first 150 rounds but has eaten about 1400 wolf since then without any problems. That was only in the three months that I was actively shooting last year though.
I have the exact same upper and lower.
I haven't run anything but m193 through it.
I can tell you that when I pulled the FSB to install a FF, the gas port read .062 on my calipers.
This isn't exactly the most accurate way to measure the port, but it told me that the gun was not likely to be overgassed.
Will it run underpowered ammo? I'm not sure, but I will try some out in the near future.
The cheapest thing you can do right now is buy a standard carbine buffer for under $10.
I assume you have the upper group well lubed?
Not TOS silliness at all... If it was the same stuff with a polymer coating it was causing FTF coming out of the mag and I noticed it when loading and unloading the mags as well as when rubbing or sliding two rounds together as if they are being feed out of a mag.

Interesting. Mine literally chokes on every single round that's fed from the magazine. I wish it was only twice in 150 rounds at this point
Yeah, the carbine buffer is something I will be trying soon for sure. If you do shoot any poo through yours anytime soon, let me know how it runs.
If I run a carbine buffer is that going to cause any other issues or is that what I should be running in the first place?
I've got a similar setup, standard BCM 16" midlength upper, BCM blem lower, BCM BCG, PMags. It's got over 1000 rounds of Brown/Silver Bear through it with 0 failures.
I doubt it's the ammunition.
