222 showed up today. guess i ordered just a hair too soon to get lucky number .223.
I need to see about launching a formal complaint with PSA. I only ordered this thing 5 days ago. And now its showing up at my FFL. The damn shipping department got it out the door so fast, they didn't even have time to slap a tracking number or send me an email. The thing go here so fast, I may have gotten whiplash. |

Josiah,
Can you confirm or deny the snek questions from the last couple pages? I know I wasn't the only one that asked. I'm concerned for a bullshit law being pushed towards us in Washington and am looking to stock up on lowers for my future builds. I will buy the regular pda, or psa stealth lowers if need be. But I'd seriously like a dozen of the snek ones. The lower seems fitting for what we're facing. Thank you. |

Would love to get a cool serial numbered lower like a 223 or 224 or such.
Wonder if they make a 666 one??? And if they do, would some people get freaked out about it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By craig19: Did you get an email with a tracking number? My order I placed a month ago still says Processing, but I received an email with a tracking number and got my upper a few days later. I haven't heard anything on the SF lower, at all. The folks at PSA called me when the space force lower was ready to pick up, it was my first order of an actual FFL item. Learning experience. My Mad Dog lower is saying the same thing "processing" I'm going to call them tomorrow just to double check, but last time they said they received FFL orders twice a week and then they have to be logged into the system. I'm hoping to pick up this Friday or Monday/Tuesday, if all is going right. |

I will update then. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/219075/IMG_20181018_213549-709735.jpg Edit - I thought I might get away with using a 9mm spacer to force ejection further forward, but it is just short of picking up another round. @BoRdErBaCoN |

 Failed To Load Title Ok guys. I'll go back and tag people that were wondering when I get to a computer... Too much work on my phone. I'd probably stroke out in frustration. Short answer is - the BCA side charger will work with .458 Socom - all you need to change is the BOLT. (Not the whole BCG) KAK 8" econo barrel. Strike Industries gas block. Cheap Brownell's gas tube. KAK bolt in the BCA carrier that came with the upper. SLR rail 7.5" for those who were wondering - got it in the EE because it looked Spacey. Spikes ST-2 buffer - standard spring. POF 3.5 single stage flat trigger. Sweet Magpul sunglasses and hat.
Strike trigger guard because it is rediculous. BCM mod 0 grip (I think) - and a Palmetto build kit with SBA3 brace. Ammo was 4 rounds of Xcaliber 300gr - 1850FPS. Ejection was clean, but they didn't go far. All in same spot, landed right on the table next to me.

I'm talking about the brass upon ejection - it only went about 4-5 feet - landed consistently in one neat little pile though at about 3 or 4 o'clock. You're making me do my homework here.
I'll sit down and figure out what it cost all together when I get home... Keep in mind I had some used parts from the EE - so it will vary slightly. |

Added 11" worth of a 1/2" rail riser and a reflex. Thought it looked kinda spacey-er. Really need 12" to get the job done, but they only sold them I. 5.5" lengths. Also trying out the SBA3 brace.
Oh, and this one has a BFS III trigger as well, cause Burt needs a voice.

My PSA account still says processing for BOTH the Space Force and the Mattis lower. Hello, It states in our FAQ under Shipping Times : Shipping Times When will my order ship out? Upper Receivers - Can take up to 15 business days to ship out. Firearms - (Rifles, Pistols, Lower Receivers, Etc.) Can take up to 7-10 business days to ship out. **Please verify that PSA has a copy of the FFL from your Dealer. All other items - Can take up to 3-5 business days to ship out. When your order has shipped, you will be updated via email with a UPS tracking number. ? Thank you for choosing Palmetto State Armory. Best Regards, I guess I'm going to have to call my FFL and see if it is there. They are usually dicks about that, so I was hoping to avoid doing that. |

Do you believe it to be superior to other calibers, especially for hunting? 3.) I'm really not so familiar with the .458 socom, so why only an 8" barrel instead of a 16" or other size and what type of flash hider is that? 4.) Would it be safe to say the gas tube is pistol length and is the gas block low profile .750ID? 5.) If one couldn't afford an SLR rail, what manufacturer would be comparable in style and weight? 6.) What type of magazine will work for this round and are there any mods to be made? 7.) Finally, who do you suggest for ammo components when reloading and do you recommend a specific recipe?

Lancers are my preferred mag. 6) It packs a hell of a wallop in the AR. 2000 ft-lb muzzle energy is easily achievable. If it walks in North America, you should be able to take it within a reasonable range. 7). Starline for brass. Barnes makes some special 458 bullets for it. Almost any 45-70 bullet will work though, even wide meplat ones. ETA: for subsonics I REALLY like these.

Lancers are my preferred mag. 6) It packs a hell of a wallop in the AR. 2000 ft-lb muzzle energy is easily achievable. If it walks in North America, you should be able to take it within a reasonable range. 7). Starline for brass. Barnes makes some special 458 bullets for it. Almost any 45-70 bullet will work though, even wide meplat ones. ETA: for subsonics I REALLY like these. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/468179/E245A393-F048-4380-8FE5-6BC48849038B-686814.jpg |

Bless you, info was enlightening. Honestly don't get too close to prey or what we hunt here, most is 150-600yds. Sounds like utilization must be an SBR which means submitting for tax stamp or a six month wait. I wouldn’t use it at any range you wouldn’t be comfortable with a 45-70. The short, fat bullets don’t have good BC’s and lose velocity quick. |

I'm at home now, so I had some questions about your configuration. 1.) Besides being a popular caliber, what would be the proposed usage for this round? 2.) Do you believe it to be superior to other calibers, especially for hunting? 3.) I'm really not so familiar with the .458 socom, so why only an 8" barrel instead of a 16" or other size and what type of flash hider is that? 4.) Would it be safe to say the gas tube is pistol length and is the gas block low profile .750ID? 5.) If one couldn't afford an SLR rail, what manufacturer would be comparable in style and weight? 6.) What type of magazine will work for this round and are there any mods to be made? 7.) Finally, who do you suggest for ammo components when reloading and do you recommend a specific recipe? I'm sure I've missed something, but these will get me moving. @BoRdErBaCoN ETA: for clarity and flow 2. It is very similar to the .50 Beowulf and .450 Bushmaster - I call them my big littles. Big projectile, little receiver. 3. I already have an 18" one... So I wanted something different - I built a .450 Bushmasted A1 Dissipator for the heck of it - I'm a little unpredictable with my builds. If I could have gotten a 6", I would have. 
4. Yup 5. I like Matrix rails on JoeBobOutfitters - cheap, rugged and nice looking 6. I use the Thumper mags from Windham - I tired the E-Lander ones from Adams (I think) and I had feed issues. I also tried single follower mods, and trimming the front of the mag - but the Windhams just work. I want a higher cap one, but haven't found one yet. 7. I think I was using Freedom Munitions - they have a cheaper, big bore line. I don't reload anymore - sold all my stuff. |

@MTShooter
I use a Bear Creek Upper on my 18" .458. Comes complete - ejection port already opened up and with the appropriate BCG - and a sweet rail - for like $350 give or take. I clover leaf the groups at 100. Some have had less luck with accuracy - but I can't complain. Edit... I might be wrong. I think my 18 is a .450... I think I built my .458 from Aero parts. They sell a .458 upper that has been milled out for ejection. Bear Creek does have a 16" .458 with rail and BCG for $300 right now though.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SoLoudItHz: I placed my order on the 10th and it says the same. Mine is going to PSA in Mt. Pleasant for pickup and no word yet. I would give it a few more days until you call your FFL. Seems they are pushing beyond the 10 business day ship time. Had the same issue with a complete lower last month. At these prices I'm not complaining. |
