Project .309 JDJ
Part3: As Darth Vader would say, "The circle is almost complete."

I've test fit the barrel to the frame and it works flawlessly!
Here is part 2 of my .309 JDJ Contender build. It appears to be in great shape. There is some tape residue on the forend, but that should clean off easily.

Part one was a fellow HHI member graciously sold me 100 plus pieces of brass at a good price.

If thinking of the 309, I hope you find a couple of dies and 309 headstamp brass easier than I have. Dies are essential, the brass is only for hunting out of the US.
