Since January 2002, Teppo Jutsu has been offering upper
assemblies for the AR-type rifles . Our first
offering was the AR-15 upper assembly in our .458 SOCOM
caliber, soon followed by the .338 Spectre and the AR-10 upper assembly in
.500 Phantom. Other calibers and projects are in the works, and we will update
the website once they become available.
As the .458 SOCOM is principally a brush cartridge, we feel the
following upper configuration offers the greatest flexibility for
the user.

Here are some additional upper configurations
for your viewing pleasure:

Above
is a slab-side shorty (8.5") upper configured for
Protective Security Detail (PSD) work. In this case, it
was going to Alaska to deter bear while fishing for
salmon. On the right is a custom
built quick-detachable ladder sight (1873 tang sight for a
.45-70) that uses the standard front sight. Due to the
similar ballistics as the .45-70, this customer can use that
sight set at 700 yards to engage his 2'x2' gong at 720
yards. And who said this was a
short range cartridge? |
