  1. Scored a kick-ass rifle tonight !!

    He only built 2? I recall Tony saying somewhere that he got into building AKs for that cartridge because the AR market was getting flooded. I liked the idea for bear country, or hog hunting. It's a shame there aren't more out there.

     

    Did you get it for pigs?

     

    There were only two prototypes built in .458 Socom utilizing the AK platform that Tony built.......... Mine is #2 of 2.

    This particular gun was Tony's personal rifle !

    Tony was THE PIONEER in big bore AR's, and there were a number of .458 AR's that he did (Sledgehammer series) !! ......not to mention that Tony was the one who held the contract to actually develope the .458 Socom round, and made the very first one in AR or AK........ (Google .458 Socom, look in Wikipedia, and check out "History")

    I got the rifle for whatever comes up...... Pigs, bear, or whatever else............, but mostly because it's a TROMIX masterpiece that

    I had the OPPORTUNITY to buy !!!

    I'm fortunate enough to own several TROMIX weapons (even one of his TR-15 series, in .223), and it just doesn't get any better than Tony's work !!

    Was this the one made in a very specific cal? That, or I also remember Tony making one that was purpose bilt for accuracy. Regards, congrats and I'm glad it ended up in the hands of a friend.

     

    This new rifle (new to me) is definitely in a very specific caliber !!

     

    However, it's not the one that was purpose built for accuracy...... That was an AK .223 with a fully-floated barrel, targeting sub-moa accuracy from an AK !! (See pic) I still don't have that one yet, but my name is still on it ! (Familiar with Tony's workload ??) Tony assures me I'll eventually get it !!

    Good memory there, Mark !!

    Not to get into this whirling clusterfuck to any extent..............., but I've personally done business with BobaDebt, and I'm here to say he's a straight-up guy. (Still feel like I got a helluva deal for the $, and the transaction would not have gone smoother !)

     

    We all have the option to buy or not buy anything at any time (unless we're talking about forced health insurance, thanks to our gov't), and to carp and whine about someone's prices is a colossal waste of time...........Just buy it or don't !! These things tend to level out by themselves............. The market sets what something is worth, so STFU and MYOB...............

     

    .........and that's MY $0.02...........

    post-3950-0-27016500-1346519500.jpgSpeaking of .22's and TROMIX in the same breath, while sitting in Tony's office at the Compound a couple of weeks ago, Tony pulled out a couple of these rascals.......... HK 416 .22 LR HV (Pistol)......... HK branded, and manufactured by Walther. Really a kick-ass little shooter !!

    HAD to go get one !!

    The thing is, Jim, as much as you love your TROMIX now...........Believe me, it'll continue to grow on you !!

    Fit, finish, and function on a TROMIX gun is second to none !! Enjoy !!

     

    TROMIX ROCKS !!!!

     

    I've had my 10" S-17 for years now (and several other TROMIX guns), and they're all STILL my favorite weapons !!

    It just doesn't get any better than Tony's guns..............
