Any advice on a 458 SOCOM upper?

[DrHenley]

The 458 SOCOM hog gun is almost finished. Almost as in one more thing to get, a silencer, which may take a while.

Here is the semi-final build.
Limbsaver snap-on recoil pad, Aero Precision Lower, UU&T night vision monocular attached to Leupold classic 3-9x40 (inherited from my father!), Ludex brass catcher (gotta hang to that expensive brass!), Omega Arms upper.

Damn son that is awesome. At first glance I thought you put a RPG launcher on the top

Can't wait to hear how it shoots....

So whats your barrel thread pitch 5/8-24 or .578×28(45acp)?
you could always try the oil filter adapter game til you properly certed (mugged) and get the real thing...

Looks like you got your sling mount figured out.

Believe it or not, I do not know what the thread pitch is. I will have to remove the flash suppressor to find out. The dealer didn't know, and the web site for the manufacturer isn't working right now.
The sling is just temporary. Clipping onto the fixed sling swivel on the butt doesn't really work for how I want to carry the rifle up a ladder into a deer stand, but deer season is over so no hurry on that. I have found a QD mount that attaches to the webbing slot but they are out of stock.

So if you wanted to mount the QD on a little more open space of the panel you could use one of these.

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. It's in the picture, along with a simulation of two holes I could drill holes to bolt it on.
