As previously mentioned, a guy at the local 'rod and gun club' was looking to unload a x39 barrel. I tried to set up a test BEFORE he dissasembled it using a D&H magazine. (Thank you KLYDE.) Long story-short we worked out a horse trade. 5.56 DPMS barrel, extension, bolt and regular firing pin, ammo and STANMAGs for Olympic Arms x39 versions of same. Got an extra long firing pin in the trade, but I think I will try the regular one first. Not sure what I am going to do with four really ugly magazine shaped paperweights, or the five boxes of Russia's finest ammo. The difference between the unmarked mags (yeah, I wouldn't want my name on them either) and the D&H one is stark. The Wisconsinite is about twice as heavy and ten times as rigid. Once I build the rifle, and see how it handles good quality PMC factory and my favorite 155-2R handloads I will post results.
