If you want a SOCOM, buy the one from TROMIX, it's the only one made to the correct specs because they are the OEM. I bought a barrel and bolt and did the ejection port enlargement myself with files and a Dremel sanding drum and assembled the upper the way I wanted it myself. Also buy a cartridge gauge from Tromix. Trust me.
You can buy a cheaper upper but you will get what you pay for. The chamber and reloading dies won't match and brass life will be short. At a buck a piece for brass you'll want to minimize damage to it.

Well, I've got everything 9mm and 458 Socom; Dies, Brass, case gauges, ect. I even have a mold for the 458. Grandson got into the Socom stuff just before he got married and now has 2 kids with a third on the way so the shooting for him is almost non existent at this point. Leaning hard to the 458 side of things at this time, IF my shoulder can hold out.

I like my 40 (pcc) AR. I thought I wanted a 458.... That was until I discovered the 450 was more my style! 
I have allot more 452 ish bullets then 458.
Also 458 seems to be better suited to heavies and the 450 better for lighter.
No experience with the lil 5.7 sorry. Looks intresting until I remember I have hornets and bees and a 17WSM.
