Thanks for the info. My 2008 model has not seen a lot of action yet, maybe a few hundred rounds. Going to change that real soon! Thanks again!

2008 39a I am curious, I have heard there are issues with certain newer built 39's. Mine is a 2008 bought brand new and I am wondering what I should look for. It seems to be just fine but maybe I am just ignorant. Can you shed some light? Regards
