Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Sons Of Liberty Gun Works Broadsword's new precision barrel?

The Broadsword features a new precision barrel with a heavier profile, altered rifling, gassing, and thread pitch. It also has a smaller gas port designed to mitigate recoil, enabling faster follow-up shots and improved shooter spotting of hits and misses.

How accurate is the SOLGW Broadsword rifle with different ammunition types?

What makes the SOLGW M89 rail unique on the Broadsword rifle?

The M89 rail is designed for anti-rotation and provides a stiffer platform for the upper receiver. This enhanced rigidity helps reduce deflection and point-of-impact shifts when weight is applied to the rail, such as during barricade shooting or when using a bipod.

What is the observed zero shift with the Broadsword's 223 Wylde barrel?

The Broadsword's 223 Wylde barrel exhibits remarkably minimal zero shift, approximately 0.1 mil, when switching between 55, 69, 75, and 77-grain .223/5.56mm ammunition. This consistency is highly unusual and beneficial for shooters.
