I’m looking to do a .458 and my research points to tromix as the best solution. However the site has been down for me and I’m wondering if they’re out of business or closed to catch up with demand?

If that’s the case is there a reliable alternative to the tromix parts? Speaking specifically to the barrel and stripped upper.

I've noticed that also. Probably site maintenance like it says or they're swamped. Even the IT guy is on the floor.

I would wait for a Tromix.  Once your order is place it should ship fairly quickly if its in stock.

I built my .458 SOCOM with a Wilson Combat stripped upper, barrel, and BCG.  I also used an SLR Rifleworks adjustable gas block.  I haven't had any issues with it.

TROMIX is NOT out of business.  He is moving his server from GoDaddy to another so he can continue to provide as good an internet service as he does firearm service.  He won't be down more than a couple of days so for Christ sake, show a little patience, he will be back up on-line very soon.  Get in a hurry and buy an inferior product and you'll rue the day that your impatience got the best of you.

There is nobody that will compare to TROMIX for highest quality, fastest service, knowledge on how to make the .458 right, and customer service.  NOBODY!

He posted this on the .458 SOCOM forums just yesterday, 5/05/2021:

We're doing a bunch of work to the Tromix site and moving it away from Go Daddy.
We should only be down one day.

We're not out of business.  Far from it.   ;D

Anyone telling you or spreading the rumor that TROMIX is OOB is a liar and trying to take your money, and if they are that big of a liar, good luck getting your money back after you buy an inferior product and it won't work.

Tromix is the only way to go for that caliber.  You're better off waiting or calling.

I had noticed that they had removed 458 bolts from the store page.  There are still bolt/barrel combo's but not bolts alone.  Can you not buy just a bolt anymore?

The Tromix site is back up and running.

Good to know

I have a RRA 16" upper I've never been happy with and want to replace it.

(I still haven't fired my 8" Teppu Jutsu upper )

Tromix is always the answer for 458 Socom and well worth the wait! I say worth the wait yet they have always shipped quickly and accurately for me!

Not saying Tromix isn't the best, but my Black Rain has been 100% solid. The bolt, barrel extension, ramp, and ejection port were all done correctly and were not a fly by night half assed approach.

I've never had a failure of any kind even when new.

I don't know about the parts in your particular upper, but Black Rain bought a bunch of barrels and bolts from us awhile back.

Yeah, the writing was on the wall on that one.  Any day, those clowns could have cut us off, so we beat them to the punch.
What's interesting, is when we started with them, they had no problem with gun stuff and Go Daddy personnel actually created the initial site and loaded up about a dozen of our parts to get us started.
They had no issues with gun parts at the time.  Then about 6 months later, they wanted nothing to do with us.

Can a person buy just a bolt from you now, or just bolt/barrel combos?  I didn't see bolts alone listed in your store last time I visited.

Well I'll be.  Now I want to reach out to them and find out.

I maybe can say I have Tromixish parts after all.
