Bill, I LOVE mine but it is "plugged" for x39.  I could get a puller and take out the chamber adapter.  I brke down and dropped $145 for a walnut stock....never did get it set into the new stock yet :):)

It is Century "pride black"........truck bed liner sprayed on it.  I was gonna strip it but the Mrs dropped it one day and CRACK goes the stock.  It was probably already broken, covered with liner for a reason ya know!

I loaded some soft x39's (arent they all?) and took her out this summer for the very first time.  SHOOTS LIKE A DREAM.  Worked up into throwinf Wolf downrane with no issues at all.  It actually shoots better with Wolf than my whimp loads.  It needs the "oomph" to operate correctly.

I REALLY like mine.  I will keep in x39 until the adapter comes out by itself.....I'll just try to not get it to hot :)

I would not take one into combat as they are difficult
to do field expedient repairs. but they are really neat rifles.
I like the round they fire.

I picked one up a while back with 1500rds of ammo, spare parts and 10 mags.  I haven't shot it yet because of the 7,62x45 ammo availability.  Its in very good condition with a wood stock, its not one of the black painted ones.  I guess someday i'll have to fire it. ::)
