Who is Sons of Liberty Gun Works:
“Sons of Liberty Gun Works (SOLGW) got its name by directly referencing the historical “Sons of Liberty,” the American colonial patriot group from the 1760s, to signal their commitment to freedom and Second Amendment rights, viewing their firearm company as a modern-day fight against perceived oppression, much like the original colonists opposed British tyranny. Founder Mike Mihalski established the company as a “cause,” not just a rifle company, aligning it with historical American defiance and pro-gun advocacy.”

Sons of Liberty Gun Works Awarded U.S. SOCOM Contract for MK1 Rifle
Sons of Liberty Gun Works (SOLGW) is proud to announce it has been awarded a contract by U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) for the Combat Assault Rifle (CAR) program. Following a rigorous competitive evaluation, a select-fire variant of the SOLGW MK1 rifle with an 11.5-inch barrel was chosen to equip America’s most elite warfighters.
SOCOM’s evaluation demanded the highest standards of small arms performance, including extensive trials for durability, precision, reliability, and environmental resilience. The SOLGW rifle endured extreme conditions—heat, cold, dust, mud, and salt exposure—while maintaining consistent function and accuracy.
The MK1 selected by SOCOM is the result of a multi-year development effort, building upon SOLGW’s extensive experience producing ultra-reliable rifles trusted by law enforcement and civilian shooters. Every component was analyzed and refined to maximize reliability, shootability, and durability, ensuring the platform can perform anywhere in the world.
“Our mission has always been to build the world’s finest fighting rifles for those who go into harm’s way. To have SOCOM select our rifle after such demanding trials is the ultimate validation of that mission,” Mike Mihalski, Founder of SOLGW.
