So I got me a Loki!

lavios219 · Jan 7, 2013

I picked up a Loki LWSF patrol in 16" 556. Really do like this rifle alot. But the company is no longer in operation and I was hoping to also get an upper in 300 blackout.
Well it's their billet upper and lower and not mil spec so I am assuming that I am kinda screwed on purchasing any upper that will fit my billet lower.

Does anyone know if there is an upper out there that will fit?
And if not, where I can find a Loki billet upper for sale?
Or at the very least, recommend a barrel in 300 blackout?

The Loki Billet set is a matched design, meaning only the Loki Billet uppers will fit on the Loki Billet lowers.

Shame they didn't make it mil spec.

lavios219 · Jan 8, 2013

Any recommendations on a 300 blackout barrel?

dennishoddy · Jan 8, 2013

Barrels or a complete upper?

lavios219 · Jan 8, 2013

Got to be a barrel I guess. Unless I can find another Loki upper.

the loki forged sets are mil spec. but not the billet. just like alot of other top manufacurers billet offerings including JP.

I know a guy that has a complete Loki rifle he might sell...

The Loki Billet sets are friggin sweet, but unfortunately you can't just put on any upper you wish. Buy Jesses rifle and swap the barrel out to what you want.

correct.

Did Loki machine their own? I know that spikes billet sets are rebranded seekins. If they are just rebranded, you might be able to find a compatible upper that I'd not a Loki.

Wall · Jan 8, 2013

It's a proprietary Loki design, but no they did not machine it.

Wildcat · Jan 8, 2013

Gotcha. Just thinking of other options. Doesn't look like there are any.

Jesse, If lavio219 is not going to buy the loki and you think it might be up for sale, could you PM me some info on it. I can't PM?

lavios219 · Jan 8, 2013

Jesse T, I would be interested, for the right price of course.
Just let me know.

And keep me in mind if you hear of anyone selling an billet upper.
I would even buy a stripped or completed matched set if one were available.

Maybe someone can tell me if this is true.
I read somewhere, that Nordic components made Loki's matched billet sets.
If true maybe I could score one from them.

jtischauser · Jan 8, 2013

Nordic did make them but they can't sell anymore without Loki being in business.

jtischauser · Jan 8, 2013

What's a "right" price in this market? That's probably a $4000 rifle right now.

hermnrob · Jan 8, 2013

$4000 only if it has a 1 PMag! :O

Which is why I didn't even bother to mention who made them.
No point in calling them.

lavios219 · Jan 8, 2013

Wow! $4K. So I guess that means mine can sell pretty close to that in this market too. My FFL offered me $2500 when I picked it up the other day. He'd never seen one.

Maybe I'll make a package deal with all my mags and ammo and pay off my house.
