Shocking... Regardless, I'm sure it will be made OK by Wilson... Eventually.Quote:

MODS -- I'm all about a 2012 OUT/ LOCK so Some pro can start a 458S thread that's updated w/out the stupidity...
B2 - OUT
Just got the call from Wilson Combat letting me know they have bead-blasted and refinished the upper, and are sending it back to me today.
Still wish they would have anodized after milling the ejection port, but the Armor Tuff coating they apply is supposed to be good stuff.
I'll see.
Got the upper back all fresh and new. Assembled it, and put 10 rounds down the barrel.
Not a mark on it this time.
+1 Wilson Combat customer service (manager).
Glad they made it right for you. Hopefully they learned what they need to do for these from now on.
Bumping the thread back to the top of the "'other' caliber uppers" forum.

I wouldn't mind one of these for Texas Hogs. What's the recoil like?
More than a .223, much less than a .308.
That's with 300 grn at about 1800 fps.
It's really more of a shove than a sharp rap (45 acp vs. 40)
Not bad at all.
20 gauge auto perhaps.
Always a difficult question to answer.
Yeah, I'd say mine with 350 grain rounds feels about the same as my Mossy 5XX pump action in 20 gauge. I really want to get back down to TX and try mine out on some hogs.
Bringing out the dead.....
