probably too Retro, (retro's my preference) but here's my idea of something different.
i tired if the same old, and tried something so new, it was old again. or maybe so old it was new. started this a year ago. started with a billet 80% Quentin Defence lower, and a trip to Ident Marking. 
then a visit to Victor at U.S Anodizing, a one off slip ring, a A1 grip, stainless lpk, billet A1 carry handle from CNC Gunsmithing custon handguards, and... 
next, while waiting on a .458 Socom barrel a White Oaks Armament .223 CMP Service Rifle barrel, and a billet Quentin Defense upper ambles along. the original plan was to use a carry handle and shoot the .223 in Service Rifle Matches, the spirit's there but the flesh (eyes) are weak 
finally, the Rock River .458 Socom mid- length upper shows up, Woo Hoo! NOW the fun starts. first i sell off the unused stuff keeping just the barrel and bolt. bye bye RR stuff. send the barrel to Adco for reprofiling to .750" under the fsb, and forward. got rid of the RR markings as a bonus. then another trip to Ident, for barrel engraving, then another trip for Electroless Nickel plating and i'm DONE! 
7 lbs. 4 oz.s w/o mag (.458) still a couple minor nits, different scope and i'm not fond of the carry handle and scope mount nuts, but mostly done. |

Who plated your magazine? Looks nickel? its just the flash. its a gun show usgi with the coating gone. but it is silver. |
| I'm not going to post mine again. I imagine most people if they have been here a while are sick of seeing my same old pictures over and over again. Take the excellent advice given earlier, go to 458socomforums.com and look over there. There are tons of pictures of SOCOMs in just about every conceivable configuration, even bolt action pistols. |

Marty, what's the barrel diameter forward of the front sight base on this one? That's my Woody that Marty did the barrel work on. The barrel is .900 under the handguards, .875 at the gas block (midlength), then .750 from the gas block to the the end of where the front sight is mounted in the rifle position, then .730 to the muzzle. Barrel is 20 inches with midlength gas. The front sight/gas block is for sighting and holding the forend cap in position only and is mounted on the .750 section of the barrel. The functioning gas block is a PRI low profile gas block under the handguards. Here is a picture of the barrel under the handguards and the reinforced area around the gas block to help hold everything in place. Again, the tube coming out of the front sight is just to hold the forend cap in position.
