Quoted: ...As w/ any manufacturer there are a few lemons that get out. But no big deal. I'm sure there are a few .458 SOCOM lemons as well. As far as I'm concerned it's Chevy vs. Ford. People tend to defend their purchases and recommend what they bought, that's life. And w/ the group purchase of SOCOM's you'll probably end up hearing more about them....

Again, this was 4th hand pass me down type info, but it was 60 Beowulf rifles passed on to the Coast Guard and they sent them ALL back...not sure WHY, just heard they came back.

Yes, Chevy vs. Ford is a good analogy, but it appears Ford didn't show up for a $200 off sale for the members of AR15.com, Chevy did......
Got to LOVE a small company willing to help it's fellow gun lovers out. I think the Tromix/Teppo uppers go for $865 in full retail. The group buy was $675 IIRC.

You have to buy $20 conversion for standard AR mags, it consists of a machined follower and a polyurethane spacer. The kits are supposedly in stock at
www.tromix.com.
Once I got it sighted in I put 3 shots inside of each other, and two within an inch.
