Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key updates for the Sons of Liberty Gun Works Mark 10 Gen 2?

The Mark 10 Gen 2 will feature a completely new receiver set and the M89 rail, known for its strength. It will also offer an integral ARCA rail on the bottom and shorter barrel lengths, including 14.5-inch pin-and-weld options in .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor.

Why does Sons of Liberty Gun Works prefer the AR platform over the AK?

Sons of Liberty Gun Works believes the AR platform is superior due to its component replaceability, allowing for easier end-user servicing without specialized industrial equipment. They also claim their AR builds are inherently more accurate and reliable, even under adverse conditions.

What is Sons of Liberty Gun Works' stance on gas system tuning for their firearms?

They aim for adequate gas and mass to ensure reliability across various conditions, including cold, heat, fouling, and anemic ammunition. They carefully balance gas port sizing to maintain reliability unsuppressed without excessive backpressure when a suppressor is added.

What are the plans for Sons of Liberty Gun Works' website and swag?

A new website is launching soon, which will feature more swag and allow for direct consumer sales of parts like barrel nuts and hardware. Specialty shirts will be produced in more limited runs, while core logo items will remain consistently available.

What is the company's philosophy on bolt carrier groups (BCGs)?

Sons of Liberty Gun Works considers Nickel Boron BCGs to be of poor quality and not used by reputable manufacturers. They prefer traditional phosphate for its lube-holding capabilities or nitride/QPQ finishes for enhanced corrosion resistance in specific environments.
