    Anyone have experience wth Radical Firearms 458 Upper

    Anyone have experience wth Radical Firearms 458 Upper, I am thinking about buying one, but wonder if their low price is indicative of quality?

    Thanks in advance

    I dont have a ton of rounds through mine, but it cycles ok. The ejection port cover was a little wonky on mine when I got it. A slight adjustment to the cover pin has made a great deal of difference. Other than that no issues I remember. Fit and finish is ok some of the free float tube screws needed to be unscrewed and then screwed back in flush but I wanted to locktite them anyway. I can say it functions, is fun to shoot, AND I CANT WAIT TO WHACK SOMETHING WITH THAT ROUND. Hope that helps.

    My experience is similar to fordwannabe's. I have only put about 75 rounds thru mine. Works as it should except for the ejection port. I think I'm going to open mine a little more and actually remove the dust cover. Just haven't gotten around to it. As it currently is it has sharp edges and beats the **** out of brass on ejection. And that brass ain't cheap. It is fun to shoot!
