This video explains the controversy surrounding the Sons of Liberty Gunworks (SOLGW) Mk1 rifle, specifically regarding its SOCOM contract designation. The core of the issue stems from public perception, fueled by influencer content, that the civilian Mk1 differs significantly from a SOCOM-contracted version due to supposed differences in bolt carrier groups and barrels.
