You’ve looked at your options for a .458 SOCOM upper receiver and they’re somewhat limited. There are a ton of slick upper receivers on the market that you could buy if you’re interested in modifying an AR upper for a .458 SOCOM. Of course, that means you either need the skills and equipment to make those modifications yourself or the extra cash laying around to pay someone else who does. Even if you think you’ve got a reputable armorer/machinist to make those modifications, your mileage may vary. CMT Tactical offers a better alternative. The CMT Tactical UPUR-3 Slick Side Upper Receiver comes in a .458 SOCOM compatible version.

This model of CMT’s slickside upper features an ejection port that’s sized to be compatible with 458 SOCOM builds with no additional machining.

Quality Materials, Precision Manufacturing

The CMT Tactical UPUR-3 is a high-quality slickside billet AR-15 upper. The CMT starts with the superior strength and rigidity of 7075 T6 aluminum billet and a superior design for a slick side upper. They modify the design to make these work as a .458 SOCOM upper receiver and do the machining on cutting edge 5-axis CNC machining centers to produce what is quite possibly the most accurate SOCOM compatible AR upper on the market. 5-Axis machining puts an end to the errors and inconsistencies caused when parts are loaded multiple times for different operations by allowing one machine to complete a part in a single session. CMT Tactical’s slickside upper is ahead of its time, so you can give yourself an edge.
