So decided to build a 458 socom with this billet lower I just bought

My search for a billet upper has stopped me.

I'm looking for a billet upper for .458  I do not feel like milling the ejector port  would like to keep a forward assist as well

So anyone know of a 458 billet upper with forward assist or should I just spring for a standard billet upper and send it to get milled?

The billet upper from New Frontier Armory is cut for the 458.

Wilson has a forged and billet 458 upper. It appears the billet is currently in stock.

Edit: Sorry, didn't read the part about FA, thier billet upper does not.

You should check out the CMT UPUR-1A Billet Upper Receiver that's 458 SOCOM Compatible.
They are a piece of truly a piece of art.
I purchased the stripped upper awhile back, and I'm waiting to piece it together with my Tromix Barrel and a
either a BCM  KMR  or Midwest Industries SSK handguard. Good luck with your search!

I bet if you check frequently with CMT or find a distributor you'll get lucky. Although CMT has a new ambi billet lower out now that might jumble up production times, the market is
saturated to the point that CMT should fulfill any such demand their way pretty soon. Also, if your not intent on getting a billet upper, you should check out Aero Precision's new 458 Socom
stripped or assembled upper receiver part.

Great pick of a barrel! Tromix is the tits for 458 Socom barrels. I hear good things about RRA too
