I went with Green Mountain Rifle Barrels for my barrel and a Red X Arms BCG for one of them. I was at Radical Firearms when their first set of 7.62x39 barrels came in the door so the owner wanted me to try one out and let him know what I thought of it. It's a good accurate barrel and they had a nice finish on them. I also used a Red X Arms BCG for the second rifle. I shoot Federal Fusion 7.62x39 and Wolf Polyformance HP's out of them. For mags I have both C-Products and ASC and they are both reliable mags. I built them just because I had a bunch of parts sitting around in the shop and figured they would be good for shooting hogs from the blind. Right now they are both completely disassembled and I am going to refinish them at some point.
