have you not seen JeffsSig's 458 thread, its pretty sweet.

Jeff, that mag looks sweet. I cant beleive no one markets those, maybe you'll be the first

[gunrunner32]

I took Supaflys advice .

But I used a Stainless steel mag.

It almost turn out the way I wanted but Im not done yet. Getting near what I want.

The mag looks good. I've got about 12 of those sitting in a box. I'm still waiting for my aluminum ones to give me a problem, one the steel ones give me a problem I've got Pmags to back those up. I can't wait to see how it looks. I've thought about leaving my AR all satin black and having the accents done in a black chrome. But that's another experiment in itself.

Yes sir they are indeed .458 SOCOM.

They just happen to be some rounds setting on my desk when I took the picture. So I added them to show the mirror finish better.

[Rightwinger]

Sure....sure you did.

LOL, Socom rounds can accent anything. I think a gratuitous "dinner" shot with the Socom items should be undertaken.

[Rightwinger]

and...uh....we have two SOCOM uppers inbound at D&T. We also have 3 boxes of factory SBR 300 grain JHPs for the Socom at the shop...swing by, drool, take something large home.

[JeffsSig]

I hate to wait LOL

Seems like the clock ticks so slow when one is waiting on parts.

When you step out of "vanilla" you can expect to wait a bit. Always worth it though.

[Ebow1]

I can't wait to see what this thing looks like.

[JeffsSig]

Parts will be here next week. around Tuesday!!!!!!!

[G27]

Can't wait to see the pics...

[JeffsSig]

nickel matt plated parts came in today.

Wood should be here any day now.

[JeffsSig]

Oh I had 21 parts plated Guss how much the plating was?

[Rightwinger]

$4.00 ?

[flyanything]

The Olympic .45ACP mags are similar to .223 but have no curve.

[JeffsSig]

Im almost done.

I still need to fit the forearms ( due to the upper being a piston upper.)

I have a wood grip to match but I think I like it as it is now with the stock grip.

Here are a few images so far. It matches my Sig 220 rather well I think.

The Magpul front sight needs to go It dont match the gun at all.

Looks great!

[Rightwinger]

That's some stick now yo!

[Magiccarpetrides]

I like your wood! ;-D

[G27]

Looks awesome.

I think a fixed front site would look best, considering the 'old school' style hand guard and stock. It has such a classic 'M16' look to it. Very nice.

Would love to see it with the wood grip as well.

[mikegideon]

Woodies are cool. A buddy of mine has had one for a couple of years. First time i've seen that color. Nice stuff!

[JeffsSig]

Here is the wood grip on it.

Yes Id like the A2 front sight but Im not sure I can do that with it being a piston upper.

Thanks!!!

Oh yah, that wood grip makes it, imo.

I bet you can find a simple pinned A2 front sight for it, placed in front of the piston gas block (if you can't find one for the block)...

Might be a can 'o worms. I've only removed one A2 sight, but the barrel was drilled for the pins. You would most likely have to go in front of the grenade launcher notch. To top it off, the front sight would wind up right in the middle of the optic's sight picture. That's why I removed the A2 sight to begin with. I agree it would look good on the rifle, if the gas block wasn't in the way.

EDIT: Jeff just needs to build another with an A2 front sight and carry handle. We also need to see that little "G" on the trigger next time :-)
