Finally an out of the box factory rifle that competently adresses 95% of the "common gripes" that most of us have had for decades, as in getting a new duty ready carbine thats good,..but after a few hundred rounds, you find those few small details that you wished that they would have thought out a bit better, so you have to chase down aftermarket "bandaids" or actual gunsmithing help to try to acheive what you really want. That mark1 just needs a good can, a barrier stop, optics to suit and a sling and youll be ready like freddy. That mark one is gonna be a MUST HAVE. Great job guys

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

Very doubtful this is “duty ready.” SOLGW rifles are only “instagram ready.”

[@boss350z5]

That pic design for cable management should be an industry standard...

[@Richie-v2z]

Radian does this as well.

[@silvermediastudio]

Added cost, not worth it for 90% of people.

[@Marcus10k]

That’s what caught me. Probably the best part of the weapon

[@PoliticallyInsensitive]

They basically made a slightly redesigned Weaver rail. Congrats.

[@mr.nobody68]

The added CNC work is going to rape your bank account on the back end

[@matthewconnor5483]

The cable slot is something that is a huge quality of like upgrade. The texture on the rail is also a nice touch. Hopefully others follow.

[@pehenry]

The AR15 asymptotes towards perfection.

[@XDWX]

Im so glad there are actual improvements and not just making everything ambi and calling it a "game changer". Looks better thought out than the pointless "improvements" that Q tries to push.

Love to know how much and when;)🎉🎉

[@DirtySouthDevil]

You guys are above and beyond my favorite rifle company. I love this and can't wait for one. As a proud owner of an M89 built from all SOLGW parts I can tell everyone who doesn't know already, the quality of the fit and function of every part that goes into these rifles is perfect. When building one with your parts I came to really appreciate the precision. Not to mention the tack driver accuracy! The only question i have about this new rifle is what ALOT of people are wondering... Why no ambi bolt catch/release? This seemed to be the perfect opportunity to add it and it would be so popular you couldn't make enough of them. Please make a version of the lower with it!!! Please! Small lever like SIG has implemented is perfect!

[@silverbulletstackin1752]

Ambi bolt catch/releases can make a gun mare magazine sensitive

[@SlangNasty]

You mention the precision fitment of parts on your M89. Just out of curiosity, how well did it guage out, or did you guage it ? What sort of groups are you seeing out of it ?

[@Averagedude73]

I was like another AR-15 🙄 then I watched the video and was ok definitely some ingenuity on this platform 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@dlbracer56]

Excellent presentation. The "perfect " tool. I used SOLGW barrels in two builds.. they are the truly "good stuff."

[@musician445]

Epic. Love this stuff man.

[@ChadCooper03]

Looks great. I would run this alongside my Geissele super duty mod 1. To me, they’re similar but different. Meant to be a compliment, looks great!

[@synergytraininggroup]

This is a fantastic design. Good job Mike!

[@tattooed1979]

Same! Wish I would have waited on this vs buying the VKTR. Checks all the boxes for me. ✌️

[@Poindogindustries]

I’ve been following guns basically my whole life. I was skeptical of the title but knew SOLGW made good stuff… I’m blown away. When it’s time to really get into the tactical games this might be what I end up with.

[@IOgrel]

Keep up the amazing work. Love the company and the pews

[@charlesolrich5898]

Man I really like this one. Lots of thought went into this rifle. I almost bought a SOLGW rifle a few years back. I had just began my journey into building my own custom AR’s and decided on SOLGW bcg for a build I was doing. My goal was to do my build and then purchase a production gun that was top tier and compare the two. It took over three months to get a bcg to me because some rail scale I threw in my cart at the last minute wound up on backorder. The entire process just left a bad taste in my mouth. The whole deal with customer service was horrible; I finally told them to keep the rail scale and just send me the bcg for my build. Two things happened after that. First, I wound up putting another companies bcg in my build, second I damn sure as hell wasn’t fixing to drop all that money on a complete gun from SOLGW after the fiasco with a bcg. So I bought a type A rifle instead. Who knows maybe I was just the customer that slipped through the cracks. I still think they make some of the most badass blasters out there! Mike is just a wealth of knowledge and the evolution of SOLGW is very evident in the MK1 compared to the rifle I was going to buy all those years ago. Guess I need to start saving up for another top tier rifle and buy myself one of these. Keep up the good work y’all.

[@conrad9398]

Looks great. This man is very well spoken, clearly knowledgeable - great video. Certainly interested

[@MoldyChapstick]

This might be the perfect rifle. Well done.

[@hoofgripweightlifting6872]

American ingenuity can always be found in guns and rifles. Brilliant design. As an engineer, I appreciate every detail and thought process.

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

They literally just bolt a bunch of Aero Precision parts together 😂

[@jdizzlemybizzle]

This handguard to upper interface is so fkking nice! SOLGW really solving problems vs. trendy BS.

[@PoliticallyInsensitive]

It's probably the best part about this rifle

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

@@jdizzlemybizzle bet they’re still using a $65 Faxon nitrided barrel though 😂

[@Lpowerstrokediesel]

I think a right side bolt catch and release would be the only thing Id add. But other than that I think this rifle is the new standard for all other DI rifles. Especially in regards to the rifle's picatinny continuity and wire slots.

[@christopherkey3488]

@@Lpowerstrokediesel if they did the ambi bolt catch/release in the lever style of Griffin/ADM they would not be able to keep them in stock. They wouldn’t be able to make them fast enough

[@CrazyLegz72]

No doubt. The oversized paddle with the fence may prevent someone for changing it to a standard bolt release lever so they can run a bad lever. If so that would be unfortunate.

[@Rubeless]

Bad levers are 🏳️‍🌈

[@daleb1225]

Wow, this is a beautiful rifle loaded with features. I just started purchasing upper level AR's or AR style rifles. Because of Cyber Monday sales I picked up a FDE SIG MCX and Geissele Super Duty DDC. This needs to be next on my list, impressive.

[@blessedone1845]

I’m assuming you haven’t used either rifle yet but I’d be curious how you feel those two compare

[@daleb1225]

@@blessedone1845 Correct, the Super Duty was delivered today, it is beautiful. The Sig is a piston upper with folding stock. My guess is I will like the Super Duty best but the Sig will be my first piston AR style rifle. I am hoping they are both excellent. They are big steps up from my typical PSA AR.

[@blessedone1845]

@ I feel you, I have 1 PSA, 2 Aero Precisions, and 1 Daniel Defense and the DD feels so much better than the other 3 but I love all of them equally haha

[@mr.martyr8573]

The Geissle Super Duty 14.5 is my dedicated fighting rifle at the moment and my LORD does that thing perform. I run it with a SiCo Omega36 suppressor, Spikes lower with a Geissele stage 2 trigger and man does she hum. You're going to enjoy the shit out of it.

[@justcallmejoeable]

Definitely one of the ARs of all time.

[@johnpelfrey2041]

Awesome video Brother!

[@rhodycars6058]

Never bought SOL before but this is absolutely genius stuff man.

[@mr.nobody68]

Dude, you owe it to yourself to buy a Sons Of Liberty Gun Works AR15. They fuck SOOO hard, it's unreal I have a 16 inch M4-89. Whomever runs their FB messenger told me it was their flagship combat gun. I've never shot anything better. I had opportunity to run several mags through a dude's Geissele, and it was a damned fine rifle. But that Geissele felt like a Cadillac whereas my SOLGW feels like a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. I haven't had opportunity to try a Type A, yet. But I'm ok with that. They can't be better than SOLGW.

[@bgilton79]

I really wish I could afford one of your rifles. I’ve been watching you guys for a while and thanks to you I found SOTAR. Keep up the great work guys.

[@EDUAROSOLAS]

I bought an M76 upper group for $379 as they were being discontinued. Be patient as these companies are always coming out with new stuff to replace older models

It looks neat, but I have two questions; 1. Why choose not to include any ambi mag releases or bolt catches? 2. Why is the bolt catch top paddle fenced but the bottom paddle which is more likely to induce stoppages not fenced?

[@Fittednocap]

What does the thread count of a muzzle device have to do with accuracy ?

[@davewebster5120]

A bolt out of airmet? That's insane! For my brothers, that's a maraging super steel requiring exotic materials and processeng. It's what the tip of bunker buster bombs is made of which is what allows it to bury itself a million feet underground without failing. It's also expensive af and very difficult to machine, as you'd imagine. That's pretty cool though.

[@literallynobody1515]

LMT & KAC (which is really just LMT's) use it in their enhanced bolts

[@danielcruz2256]

All I'm reading is more expensive ,maybe more durable but still not paying 3k for a rifle

[@Bmxr1991]

Are you going to offer the stripped upper and the handguard separately? If so what sizes for the rail?

[@sheepdogs762mm]

This is a sweet build!! Dudes never fail to impress.. and here comes the BUT….Not very left handed or Ambi-friendly, especially if it’s suppressed. I have a SOLGW 12.5 and can’t suppress it without eating gas due to running left handed.

[@arlissyoung8899]

sheepdogs I get it to each their own. Nevertheless I go with external piston ARs that all but do away with gas face. I have both but the external piston is the way to go running suppressed for me.

[@jzaden10]

Very nice weapon system. I especially like the honeycomb stippling on the handgaurd. I m a big fan of the quad rail because I have large hands,and it is a little challenging to hold onto a girly smooth forearm. I have to keep a firm grip on my Springfield Armory AR. But that grip design on your rifles might change my mind on quad rails.
