I found some here.
Hate to say it, but these will be on the prohibited list soon enough as well. From the designer of the .458 SOCOM's own website:
There's nothing proprietary about a .458 SOCOM magazine... The round was literally designed to work in USGI STANAG magazines designed for 5.56x45 ammunition.What lower, stock, other parts can I use?
The .458 SOCOM was designed to fit any mil-spec lower. Thus, any of the lowers out there that meet mil-spec should readily accept the .458. No modifications should be needed to your lower and no negative effects to the lowers have been reported. Based on customer reports, the following aftermarket modifications can help reduce any felt recoil and make your shooting experience a more enjoyable one:
Magazines ? the .458 SOCOM was designed to work with any GI/Mil Spec magazine. We have not heard of any particular type or brand of magazine that did not function. Magazine capacities for the different size magazines are as follows:
- 10 rounds of .223 ? 3 rounds of .458 SOCOM
- 20 rounds of .223 ? 7 rounds of .458 SOCOM
- 30 rounds of .223 ? 10 rounds of .458 SOCOM (have heard 12)
- 40 rounds of .223 ? 13 rounds of .458 SOCOM (have heard 15)
The MWG 90-round .223 drum can hold as many as 33-36 rounds of .458 SOCOM which makes for some formidable firepower. The BETA mag WILL NOT WORK with the SOCOM.
So many FUDDS on this forum.
It's not a matter of siding with anyone, I simply don't have an unlimited budget to risk arrest, charges and my livelihood fighting the RCMP labs opinion which is backed by our current government 100%.
If you have the money to fight them, it shouldn't be that hard to go out on crown land and do a few mag dumps this summer within earshot of some campers to get the RCMP on scene to look at your magazines.
If it's either loud, obnoxious, fast, hated by the general population or any combination of these, I OWN IT!!
