Don't see why not. The barrel's legal length. The HBAR crap shouldn't apply 'cuz of the caliber.
He just can't send ya the mags with it though.

If they are dedicated .458 SOCOM mags and 10 rounds or less, I think they can be shipped to Libtardistan.
I'd say no, steer clear of it @ all costs (so that I can bid/win it).
Seriously tho, looks like it. 7 rd capacity is good, as long as overall length works, no description of that so check before. Should be good to go. Gotta be HBAR, no 2 evil features, as long as length is legal. I'd check w/your FFL transfer guy 1st tho, to be sure.

It looks like a 30 round Pmag is stuck in it

Ask the seller what magazine comes with the rifle.
Ask about capacity.
Ask about capacity.
No experience with the 458 SOCOM , but similar 50 Beowulf uses same 30 rd Standard PMAGS but only holds actual 7 or 8 (pretty sure). Big darn bullets!

Read the bottom of that auction page, there's 50 Beowulfs for sale/bid for crazy good $$ too. Got me thinking now.....

HBAR doesn't apply to anything other than 223/5.56. The baseline evil gun is a Colt AR-15. The chambering outside of those calibers removes the HBAR. That's why 300 AAC doesn't need an HBAR.
Correct, was just pointing out in case he asked (someone will ask, this site historically speaking), that it really matters none in this case anyway since that big old SOCOM barrel is definitely a HBAR profile, caliber or no caliber.

A quick peek at Ammoseek shows 500 Beowolf starting at $1.46/round and 458 SOCOM at $1.59/round. In spite of the difference, I'd go with the 458 because it uses AR mags and it is never hard to find them.
30 round .223/5.56 mag is a 7-8 round .458 SOCOM magazine. Different follower, but same body.

A 20 round AR mag holds 7 rounds of 458 and a 30 round holds 10 rounds of 458. The 458 is a biggun'
Saw on YouTube the SOCOM required mag upgrades, new follower I think. The Beowulf can use AR mags as is, no modifications. Also a big'un. If you're lazy as heck like I am, you'd go with the least amount of work, the Beowulf.A 20 round AR mag holds 7 rounds of 458 and a 30 round holds 10 rounds of 458. The 458 is a biggun'
At least a YouTube says so, and apparently everything on YouTube is true.

I didn't know that about the Beowulf. It's weird that it costs less per round than the SOCOM. They are both flying hammers, that's for sure.
