30AR is a standard cartridge made by remington , originally for ar guns but no one really bought them and they are obsolete for the most part.

I'd assumed that the 30 Rem AR had sunk largely without trace. Since the launch hype, mentions of the cartridge have been few and far between and none I can recall recently until your post appeared.

Brazos Have you ever pulled down steel cased Russian ammo? I pulled some a part a few years ago and the powder looked like black sand with a bunch of other foreign particles of every description. There were some pieces that looked like trimmings from an old broom and some that looked like shavings from where the brass was milled. If you believe that the bullet is the problem, they must be horrible cause when I looked the powder was so full of crap and different weights from case to case I never got around to looking at bullets. Don't waste time and a barrel on this junk.

It is really a great cartridge , hard to understand why more didn't go for it. Maybe only super intelligent target shooters appreciate its wonder's

If you want something very close to that 30 AR, but with a steady supply of good brass, you can neck up 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5x47 brass to 30.

Of just get the 30 TC...

Exactly, but it’s far easier to find the Creedmoor brass. And, of course, that’s the only way you can get Lapua.

JMHO, but I'd cancel that order and get a standard .300/.308 barrel, if you plan to handload for it. There are many good 30 cal light bullets but you are extremely limited with .311 bullets.

Is there a particular reason for using the unmodified x39 case?

+1 same reason.
