Let’s see how the 458 SOCOM AR upper came to be.

What’s the Origin of .458 SOCOM?

The U.S. Spec Ops began looking for a new and more powerful round at the beginning of the 2000s because of multiple military projects that went on at the time.

They were looking for something that could be re-purposed for the almighty M4. What they came up with is the .458 SOCOM; a round that’s heavier than the 5.56 NATO, but with short- and long-range purpose and extra firepower.

Today, you can find many 458 SOCOM upper receiver modules on the market. We can attest our MSF 16-inch complete upper assembly .458 SOCOM is one of the hottest deals we have.
