Well guys... I dont know how many are going down this road or maybe planning on it... RRA uppers are practically nonexistent and most peoples wait times are up in outerspace...
Even contacting Marty at teppojutsu will tag you a 6 month wait time... and Tromix has suspended all further orders and stamped a 12month tag on thier wait....
It all boils down to one thing... BARRELS...
a little birdie has eluded to the fact that its a reamer issue, between Marty and Rra and.... allegedly RRA has the only .458 socom reamer and wont give it back to Marty.... makes sense becuase if they did...they would be crippled with unfullfilled orders... but its Martys reamer... damnit
I have contacted Marty and conversed thru several emails... he told me the 6 month wait was for barrels and bolts.... I told him that I can get one of his barrels and bolts and he asked where... I informed him and he said that nothing needs to be done to those barrels to assemble it to an upper as they come from him anyway ...He did not comment on the rock river issue or reamer issue... I asked if you could still assemble my upper if I sent him everything... so now I am waiting on a reply... Marty informed me that the ejection needs to be opened up and suggests a mill to do so... He also stated that bolt spring upgrades are not needed due to pressures being low and he stated that they only use a carbine length gas system... he also stated that there is no need for m4 cuts making another Sun Devil billet upper a prime canidate as it comes stock w/o them...
here is what I have....
458 SOCOM BARREL(parkerized)=395.00(have in stock)
458 BOLT(in stock)=65.00
YHM SOLID C.A.R. FREE FLOAT RAILED H/G=89.00
SUN DEVIL BILLET SLICK SIDE UPPER= 139.00
.936 SINGLE RAIL GAS BLOCK=30.00
5/8 x 24 PHANTOM 5C2= 35.00
+
bolt carrier and c.a.r. length gas tube
now all I need is proper assembly.... I dont know where or how????
