Their 13.7 with the a5 is an extremely flat shooting rifle. I wish they pinned their gas blocks.

I've never seen a SOLGW in the wild, only heard a lot about them.  Are they still doing HPT testing on individual bolts?  I've never been much of a fan of that.

They seem to be as good or maybe slightly better than BCM, but they for sure aren't a KAC.

KAC might be the best, but how many average Americans own a KAC rifle?

And how many will shoot enough ammo to make the price worth it vs a $600-1k AR?

Quite a few affordable ARs on the market are great rifles

When all boils down, I think SOLGW's legacy will be that of a fanatical dedication to the best bolt carrier for sale that isnt some exotic alloy. Their BCGs sell out in hours, sometimes minutes. I was lucky to get my hands on 2 the past few weeks. I think they have Microbest manufacture all their BCG parts and perform the SP/HP/MP operations performed on each individual bolt. If my understanding is correct, they assemble each unit and full auto test fire each indvidual bcg.

I also think that it was a wise decision to have Mega make their receivers.

I've had their stuff for years, hung out with them, been to both shops, etc.

Bar none, you would be hard pressed to find another company that has as solid of people as SOLGW.

They have done a fantastic job in the last 6 years and their reputation is well earned.

For a website that loves to tear people down for slight political disagreements, please show me a company that is as "on our side" as them.



Show me a company that has a warranty that competes with theirs.



They are incredibly passionate about the AR15, as well as incredibly knowledgable. Their guns hold up to serious abuse. They source top tier parts, and QC all of them as they come in. They 100% stand behind their product. They build an incredibly solid rifle, that is inexpensive for what it is.

There were a lot of manufacturers that started slacking on parts they sourced during the COVID debacle, in an attempt to keep up with demand. They did not. They are no compromise.

They are my default gun I give out to people who don't own an AR these days.

I had never heard of them before until I started seeing individuals  selling off their stuff on a local gun sales site.

Primary Arms had two of their lowers in their Cyber Monday sales,   looked nice but not sure they are worth 2 or 3 times other lower receivers.

So I think we all know SOLGW has carved out their piece of the market and they definitely have a following. Recently I came across a poll on social media asking about the “best” AR15 rifle, and wouldn’t you know it, SOLGW is in the running to be a finalist, currently head to head with KAC. Granted, this is nothing more than a popularity poll (no operational testing what so ever), but bare with me here. One thing is obvious: people LOVE this company. I would also like to say that I own not a single SOLGW firearm or item.

So then I got to thinking. For a company that manufactures nothing and outsources all of their parts, they have it together. They advertise high end, tight specs on every piece of the gun. This allows them to charge a premium without investing big into what it takes to make these parts in house. This allows them to warranty these parts basically forever and against anything.

The owner hands out customer service left and right. Call him if you have an issue. He gives you a replacement gun if you use yours to defend yourself and it gets taken as evidence. List goes on.

Obviously what they are doing is working. Their stuff stays out of stock everywhere and brings premium money when it is in stock.

I think from a business perspective we could all learn a lot from SOLGW.

One quickie: it seems there is a lot of hate on SOLGW and how they arent in the same league as LMT, KAC, DD etc.

Well, Ive seen a used LMT lower on here that had some horrible forging flash still on the back of the lower. For a company that hangs its hat on exceptional machining, they definitely missed that one. Theres no manufacturer thats infallible, even if they machine their parts and assemble the rifle.

They have a following sure. But wait initial there is a problem with on of their rifles no functioning correctly and SOLGW says "oh man, yeah that's not right" and says the customer is on their own to fix it.

I have a couple SOLGW rifles along with a bunch of Geisseles, BCMs, Colts, Larues, Sionics, a LMT, and others.

What I like about Sons is that they are very open with their specs, and they QC and reject parts from the manufactures that don't meet them.

For instance I know that a Sons barrel (manufactured by Ballistic Advantage) will have an appropriately sized gas port and a gas block dimple. Buying a barrel directly from Ballistic Advantage doesn't guarantee those feature which are extremely important to me and worth the modest premium.

Sons is also one of the few AR manufacturers left that doesn't over-gas their guns for optimum performance with under-powered steel-case imported ammo. My two Sons rifles and the LMT are the only rifles I have that perfectly eject at 4:00. This is consistent across the dozen or so Sons rifles that I've fired.

Sons hands down has the best receiver finishes on the market. While made in the same factory, the anodizing on my Mega receivers is nowhere near as good as all of the Sons receivers I've seen.

They are priced the same as what I consider their contemporaries. However, calling them a parts assembler is definitely accurate compared the manufacturers like Colt, LMT, Geissele, FN, etc. That never seemed to bother anyone about BCM though.

SOLGW is good shit. I like what they stand for. I like their passion for the AR15 and our rights.


Their customer service model fucking sucks. Idk why Mike let’s that shit fly. They basically ignore you until you find Mike’s personal number. He takes care of shit when you call him, but having to contact the owner to get anything done isn’t good. I think Mike has good intentions, but something (someone) isn’t working internally in that aspect. Not like I’m the only one with this experience. It is/was a common complaint. Haven’t bought anything from them in a while, so Maybe it’s changed recently

If you are going to charge me premium prices for a rifle, I better not be getting a barrel known for being a budget friendly option.

I could look past those things  if they would offer a barrel profile other than government.

All that being said, they are quality and actually care about our community. We could use more like them.

My and my buddy's 12.5" Sons uppers both eject at 4:00, so I don't know. Mike did say the 12.5" is their "gassiest" barrel, but the only two 12.5s I've shot were perfect. They were on Sons lowers with A5 buffer systems, so that may have been a factor.  

I have never watched them pin gauge a barrel, so I won't argue with anyone about whether they were lying or not. Every Sons rifle I've seen has been perfectly gassed (while nearly every other rifle has been over gassed) which has led me to believe that it was true.

I snagged a sol sage edition 12.5. Gassed right suppressed and unsuppressed Vltor A5 buffer systems . The handguard uses wedge lock which makes for a secure fit. Fit and finish is nice. Overall its a nice rifle. Only changes i would make is get rid of the gov profile barrel and b5 trigger guard. I own kac ..bcm..scar to compare .

What I like about Sons is that they are very open with their specs, and they QC and reject parts from the manufactures that don't meet them.

For instance I know that a Sons barrel (manufactured by Ballistic Advantage) will have an appropriately sized gas port and a gas block dimple. Buying a barrel directly from Ballistic Advantage doesn't guarantee those feature which are extremely important to me and worth the modest premium.

Sons is also one of the few AR manufacturers left that doesn't over-gas their guns for optimum performance with under-powered steel-case imported ammo. My two Sons rifles and the LMT are the only rifles I have that perfectly eject at 4:00. This is consistent across the dozen or so Sons rifles that I've fired.

Sons hands down has the best receiver finishes on the market. While made in the same factory, the anodizing on my Mega receivers is nowhere near as good as all of the Sons receivers I've seen.

They are priced the same as what I consider their contemporaries. However, calling them a parts assembler is definitely accurate compared the manufacturers like Colt, LMT, Geissele, FN, etc. That never seemed to bother anyone about BCM though.

Solo doesn’t make, or finish anything. Words have meanings.
