[ARCHIVED THREAD] - .458 on the way...what do I need to know?

Posted: 1/21/2008 2:23:20 PM EDT

I've got a complete RRA upper, Mega .458 stamped lower, ACE ARFX Skelton, and an Eotech in route.

I have old magazines and 1 box of Corbon 300gr. Hollow Points. I'd buy more, but figure this will get me sighted in, and maybe some new round will come out in the next few months.

What am I missing? What do I need to know? This will be my first build.

Even if it is....I won't have a good lower, sights, or the ammo for it yet.

But I'm hoping it's on my porch when I get home today!
