Looking forward to seeing what you've got going!

I started with a Mohawk Armory stripped lower. They are a local shop that machines out thier own lowers and a few other parts for ARs. I had them cut with a laser my custom Tennessee 3 Star ( from our state flag) and inserted 458 SOCOM.

I do have my Complete 458 upper on order with Rock River Arms. It should be here in about 2 weeks.

I did use a Magpul trigger guard.

I also do my own trigger jobs to a short 4-5lb pull

I used the RRA lower parts kit ot build the lower. I went with an A2 stock due to the kick of the 458.

Here is where I am at the moment.

I do not know a whole lot about AR's but I can certainly tell this is a very cool build. A couple more threads like this and you guys will having me build one myself. Maybe this section was a bad idea.

I have a couple of questions. What sort of special tools are required to build an AR platform? And do you need any special or additional parts when doing a trigger job? Learning is fun, learning about guns is awesome

Jeff.Slim · 10-27-2010, 07:30 AM

Ohhhh how I love .458 SOCOM, and how i miss it too.

JeffsSig · 10-27-2010, 12:38 PM

A few things about the 458 SOCOM.

You use the AR15 lower and even use the 223/5.56 magazines, I tjust uses a diffrent upper is all.

Here is a good image to show the ammo in size VS the .223

good god that's sexy, but probably hella expensive.

amhaynie · 10-28-2010, 08:44 PM

I am going to have to have you help me with my first build someday! Looks like a ton of fun!

Jeff.Slim · 10-29-2010, 06:35 AM

There are plenty (well 2 i know of, lol) of us here that can help you wish building an AR platform, its easier than you think.

sigp229r · 10-30-2010, 10:06 PM

I recommend the Magpul MIAD grip. It's adjustable so you can tailor it for your hand. It really made a difference in the feel of the AR that I built for myself. I too used a RRA complete upper.

I look forward to seeing the progress of the build.

JeffsSig · 12-27-2010, 08:02 AM

well I am still waiting on RRA for my upper.

They now tell me maybe 2-3 weeks more.

I think you will be suprised on the lack of recoil the 458 socom realy has.Great build though.

JeffsSig · 01-22-2011, 03:07 PM

My 458 upper came in!!!!!

Only 5 months but its here.

I still have some parts to swap out but here here it is so far.

Not got to test it yet but I hope this week when my new scope comes in.

360glitch · 01-22-2011, 04:23 PM

That looks like a bad boy. I bet it'll be a lot of fun!

JeffsSig · 02-01-2011, 11:33 AM

Been re-doing my lower. Yes its a Magpul hoe.

A Geissele trigger is all I'm waiting on.

Nothing wrong with being a Magpul hoe.

Tis true 360

This looks awesome. The .458 setup might actually convince me to get an AR platform!
