SOLGW Angry Patriot
Sons of Liberty Gun Works · Pistol · In Production · 2021
Overview
The SOLGW Angry Patriot is the pistol/short-barrel configuration of the M4-76 platform, named after the company's signature 'Angry Patriot' rollmark. Built on a 10.5-inch 4150 CrMoV QPQ-nitrided barrel with a carbine-length gas system, it pairs the M76 Wedge Lock M-LOK handguard with the Liberty Fighting Trigger, ambidextrous charging handle, VLTOR A5 buffer system, and a pistol brace. It is a compact, hard-use 5.56 NATO blaster intended for home defense and truck-gun duty while retaining the full-size M4-76's combat-grade internals.
