SOLGW Broadsword 89
Sons of Liberty Gun Works · Rifle · In Production · 2024
Overview
The SOLGW Broadsword 89 is Sons of Liberty Gun Works' precision-oriented fighting rifle, chambered in .223 Wylde to wring match-grade accuracy from both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition. It features a 416R stainless steel Precision SPR barrel in the company's V2 profile, QPQ coated, with a 1:7 twist and a high-efficiency NOX hybrid muzzle device to tame recoil and muzzle rise. The 15-inch M89 free-float M-LOK Drive Lock handguard mounts to an extended titanium barrel nut for a rock-solid lockup and minimal point-of-impact shift. It is finished with B5 Systems furniture, the Liberty charging handle, and the Liberty Fighting Trigger. Offered in 14.5-inch pinned, 16-inch, and 18-inch Match barrel lengths.

Notes
The Broadsword line is built specifically for tighter lockup with SOLGW's M89 and L89 handguards, using the extended titanium barrel nut and an extended trigger reach engineered into the lower receiver. Sold through dealers; SOLGW also offers Broadsword upper receiver groups and Precision SPR barrels separately. Lifetime warranty.
Background
The Broadsword name reflects SOLGW's intent to deliver a precision blade in a fighting rifle package - accurate enough for a designated marksman role yet built to the same abuse-tolerant standard as their carbines.
