More Questions

Will this upper fit my AR-15 lower?

Yes. It fits a standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver.

What bolt and magazines do I need?

A dedicated .458 SOCOM bolt carrier group. It feeds from standard AR-15 magazines in a single stack, so capacity is lower than with 5.56.

What twist rate does it use?

A 1:14 twist, the standard rate for .458 SOCOM bullets.
