In this video we shoot and discuss the brand new CMMG MkW Anvil. This rifle is chambered for the venerable .458 SOCOM and is built to handle the full power that this round is capable of. The Anvil is much more robust than a standard AR-15 action with a larger bolt carrier and bolt plus a much stronger and more accommodating receiver. We hope you enjoy this first look as much as we did, be on the lookout for more in the future with this platform.

Will probably never get a chance to shoot it, but I love seeing this calibre shot. Please do more on this and maybe 50 Beowulf. Great work lads, love it!
Why aren't you using a bench rest and a laser to make sure your shots are on perfect plane to maximize your melon (or what ever) penatration? Just sayin'.
It ain’t putting them in there like the SCAR heavy you showcased
Still waiting on that "Big bore engine killer" episode!!!!! That would be awesome, maybe even work your way down in caliber; like what's the weakest cartridge you can stop and engine with? Sounds like a badass video
Hmmm, it's two years later and I'm still waiting for the running engine test.
I need it
Thank you for the excellent video and information. I just acquired a Radical Firearms .458socom (looks just like yours here) but I have not shot it yet. I am gathering a few different brands to see what runs best.
I've never seen a "clip" that can hold (30) magazines. Dumb people. The "magazine" holds the projectiles. Guns don't have "clips"!!!!!
The best all around "round" is probably the 7.62×39 fired from a 20n inch barrel.
Imagine the old cartoons where they'd drop an anvil off a tall building.
Coyote & Roadrunner……
SHMACK!! 😂😂
My grandpa has a semi auto 45-70 browning
How is this for a hunting round, say for deer.
Noop! The car will never go anyway no more… 🤪
Uh uh
What's different about the lower? Could I put a 5.56 upper on it?
You can see the bullet distorting the air really well when he's shooting at 300! Super cool.
Thanks Eric I always love your videos and expertise thanks.
Hit that engine with a 300 win mag
Are there any SOF units actually using this cartridge…I'm thinking no
I'm loving the .458 socom round
Eric review your video I can see the round an the vapor trail as it's fired an traveling down rage very cool!!
Just like the mutant which is an AK built on an AR-15 platform the 458 Socom Anvil is the same exact thing built on an AR-15 platform it is an AR-15 it's not not an AR-15 it is just like every other new caliber that's coming out built for an AR-15 semi-auto platform this frustrates the hell out of me when I hear people like you saying this isn't an AR-15 yes it is it may not be a to 223/556 but it is an AR-15 just a different caliber AR-15
i was gonna subscribe until i heard u laugh…
The 458 is an interesting round but the ammo is just to dang expensive. There's nothing a 458 can do that a 308 can't do better, for 1/3 the cost shot to shot. Even 308 rifles can be purchased much cheaper than 458's, the weight of the guns are basically the same, and the 308 guns hold 20 rounds while the 458 guns only hold 10. When you're trying to beef an AR 15 up this much, just move into an AR 10, it's easier and cheaper.
You should do a funny video of a friend dropping off their car (junk) to have you guys fix it. Then the 458 and other calibers come out. They come back later to pick it up. You get the idea.
you should be arrested for wasting soda and watermelon,
" it should have been named hammer or something, something related to smacking things. Not anvil " you must not know what an anvil is.
I want to see that running vehicle. I mentioned it once before but a remote controlled vehicle going through a check point would be bad ass.
They should call it something that has to do with smacking things… Uh yeah, it's called the Anvil.
Wonder how far away .458 Socom will be lethal? big bullet scootin out at 1920fps….would be interesting at least
i dunno why but the audibles of the charging handle bring used makes me sick…. that metal sliding is gross
Engine Blocks. So Gratuitous.
I shoot propane and propane accessories! 😚😜
"That is a humongous, uh…heh general area of just uh badassery right there…" Quite possibly my favorite quote from the many videos I've watched on this channel.
1900 fps 😳….. with a 300 grain projectile!!! I need of these
30 seconds in and …. wow what a badass rifle.
Vapor trail shots at about 13:40ish was pretty cool…
Meh – if you're gonna go big, go all the way. .50 Beowulf or bust.
Mjölnir
CMMG ANVIL IS AN AR 12.5!
.458 Socom melt down… =D
Will your optic get knocked around with something this big in semi auto?
