Was that the V2 or the V3?
More than likely you had the V-2 which was known for ring snag...Those of us, like @ImpulseRocket and myself, filed down those rough edges before assembly knowing this was a known problem.
This has been eliminated as a problem in the V-3 cylinders which are now coming out very well trimmed and clean.
I bought a V-3 Phantom back in January and put over 1000 miles on it no problem.
I liked the V-3 so much I ordered a V-3 cylinder kit with piston, rings, needle bearing, wrist pin etc. and converted the V-2 to a V-3 which I am now starting the 310 breakin proceedure with...It is smooth as silk, even better than the V-2 for its smoothness even during the early breakin period.
My Phantom is still going strong after almost 3 years now on another bike that gets used 3 or 4 days a week. It has over 3k miles on it now. Only thing I had go wrong with it was the one base gasket I used blew out at the case half seam and it was replaced.
It's lived that long for several reasons. Most of it due to work I did to it before I ever ran it.

Mine was the v3
