- Pressfit barrels... why?
By design, we truly isolate and secure that barrel extension. Movement and slop in the barrel extension can impact accuracy and bolt flight.
We can fix that off the jump with deliberate tolerances.
I am a HUGE fan of the quality control and fit and finish of you guys. I believe y’all should be the absolute industry standard. I love what y’all do and what you stand for. If you guys ever need another set of capable hands I’d love to join the team.
I second this
We love that you guys take the time to share your knowledge and explain the "why". Thank you!
SOLGW is not that great. You have options that are in par or even better at their high price point. Yes i bought 2 uppers, and im glad i checked them out. They do do not dimple or pin gas blocks as they advertise they do. Atleast both of mine were not. And i paid almost 2 grand for both uppers, just to find out they are junk. I should have gone AERO, TNTE, MAS defense or or other equally quality builds for much much less. SOLGW failed, and im a LEO. I would caution anyone to buy from them. I suggest you shop around, as i guarantee you will find better options.
As a matter of fact if you want to buy my solgw upper inam selling them.
Always nice to see things being done as they should be done. Sometimes "tight" is done in places where it doesn't belong but this is for sure one area where tight is good. Most AR's will have generous clearance (AKA slop) in this area. Clearance in this area is the manufacturer's friend but I totally agree that in barrel mounting it is not optimal for the end user. Thanks SOL for doin' it right.
Buy once cry once.
Tears of joy 🙌
Very happy with mine. Froze barrel in freezer overnight and and heated the upper with hair dryer and it dropped on. Fifteen minutes later it normalized: perfect, no beating.
The tolerances on my SOLGW upper and Aero lower are so tight, I have to break it open on my knee to do a field strip 😂 I love you guys Mike! Thank you for never compromising or taking short cuts
I went with the m4e1 lower for mine they go good together.
I love this. Whenever I get an upper and a tight fitting barrel it makes me so happy
My dream is to just have so many guns that I can casually use one as a weight for demonstration purposes and possibly even just hold down the documents on my desk.
I agree a snug fit like this is good, but I have my doubts that accuracy is compromised if it's not tight like this. With the barrel nut having a minimum of 30 ft-lbs it will provide plenty of tightness between the components.
Yep, when barrel nut is tightened the receiver tightens down against the barrel ext closing up the gap, this has been proven, all this does is make you have yo hammer your barrel in, and hammer it out if you ever need to. Stoner remains unbeaten.
It’s has to do with harmonics.
A loose upper is absolutely not as accurate
Lol. Auto captions called it sunflower gunworks.
Someone's gotta educate the PSA customers.
Interference fit. Shouldn’t it be heated instead of hammered on?
Hammered on lol, total fail.
Pressed is best. Per AK, iz guud.
I like hammering.
Its really sad you had to explain this but thank you,
Thanks I just learned something. 👍🏽💪🏽🇺🇸😎🙏🏽
Brought y'all's M4-89...... definitely going to be protecting and providing tons of fun for my son and his son's for generations. Thanks for all you guys do
Lawd have mercy! I want to build an AR using your parts!
Love your products!
Excellent
Good job
I just might try to find one
Ar's have tight tolerances. They're supposed to be snug. If you're using quality parts and components, even if they're not all the same brand, everything should come together in a harmonious symphony that looks and feels like it all came from one manufacturer and fits just perfectly without any slop, wiggle or too tight. We all just saw how easily those two parts went together with light tapping. If you're having to beat the fuck out something and it's not moving, THEN something is out of spec.
Everyone gets bent out of shape over mil spec. That doesn't mean the lowest bidder won, it means it was made within the specifications eugene stoner and the military called for. Things need to at least start there and can deviate if it's objectively an improvement. This would be one of those things that is not mil spec but also is done with thought for a purpose and makes the rifle objectively better. Just like a vltor a5 system, precision triggers, np3 bcg's with ocks fasteners, mid length gas systems, etc.
I love your philosophy of non gimmick bullshit, and don't fuck with what works.
Loving my solgw rifles 🎉
put the barrel in the freezer for an hour and heat the upper receiver with a heat gun or hair dryer and they should seat together fairly easily with minimal tapping
I am huge LWRC guy but I want SOLGW build badd!
It’s Wemby SZN baby 🥳
Bcm uppers are the same way too…. They just say slightly heat it up and it goes right on
Especially when you can get a blem for under $60.
Would much rather have a thermo expansive upper to hold my barrel and barrel nut, just like a BCM, LMT (I believe) etc, those are the best ones I believe, just going to do a better job and keeping spec when things really start to heat up and shit gets bad. Just makes me want a SOLGW upper even more so.
Thermo fit for my VLTOR upper but that's billet. Snug fit for my Centurion Arms. I'm thinking about buying SOLGW parts to serve as build foundations from now on. Their milspec receiver sets and bcgs appear to be rock solid.
Ya , if my barrel isn't fitting that tight I don't even want the upper 🤣
Where can I buy that shirt?
The internet
Not sure how much help I'll find in the YT comments, might head to the FB group. I've got an 11.5 Exo 2 that I bought directly from you guys years ago. For the longest time just had the NOX torqued on. Pull it off in order to Rocksett it (getting a can soon) and while moving things on/off with shims I noticed that my hand guard actually rotates. (Minimally.. the anti-rotate tabs are there) but I can actually shoulder the system, and with my off hand I can physically rotate the hand guard (takes a little effort, but I'm not a big guy either)
Is there an easy fix for this that I can do at home with basic tools? Right now I've just got a Sling Attachment bridging the upper/hand guard rail slots so that it's stopping the rotation.

How can I get that shirt?
For the love of God. Put some damn 13.7 uppers out.
Primary arms has them
@@masonjohns208 you sir are doing the lords work. Thank you.
Yeah I have 2 That aren't press fit
The sad thing is you put this information out on your receiver sets gen 2 videos about 4 years ago. Y’all being transparent about your barrels, uppers, bcg, etc., is just a testament that y’all stand behind your work and what SOLGW is all about. Don’t forget to rattle can, them receivers 🤣
I’m Very Pist Off
I bought a 13.7 exo 3 and 13.7 m4-89 and the gas block was not dimpled or pinned. The rifle itself seemed ok. But SOLGW is no different than anything else out there except that i believed they did not skip quality build up. But they did skip. I shouldve just gone with a PSA saber, with no dimpled or pinned gas block for cheaper and better quality material wise. I will probably never buy from SOLGW again, they are high price for standard to mediocore builds. Nothing special with them. They are good and talking the talk and providing good service to LEO's. But their expensive mediocre uppers do not meet the standards of other cheaper products.
Sorry SOLGW you failed me twice in a row and it is my duty to inform the public so they can make an intelligent choice.
PS. I refuse to pay high dollar amount and STILL have to conduct my own quality work on my rifle which i paid above asking price after advertising a degree of quality steps for a build.
So every other AR-15 that has been made since the 1960’s was built wrong ? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 what is the barrel nut for ? And how do you remove the barrel ?
Was it ever said that others have been built wrong? To remove, heat the receiver and use a dowel to knock it out.
Concerned patriot, you obviously are new here. The tighter the tolerance, generally speaking, the more accurate the rifle. Let’s take a “wobbly” lower and upper for example. You are on target at 1000 meters with your 6.5 creedmoor, pull the trigger and miss. The movement of you pulling the trigger could have just moved the lower out of sync with the upper. The only 🤡 here is you!
Such a cringe comment.
@@cindylou1112 no other manufacturer makes their uppers like that to fit the barrel so tightly. That’s a mistake and they’re trying to tell you that that is a better fit. Don’t fall for that.
@@concernedpatriot.2221 no one ever made a 1911 until someone made a 1911, and look it won two world wars. No one ever made a m-16 until someone made a m-16. But once someone did it changed the entire battle field. When new ideas people come up with work and work well we go with it. When these guys come up with a different way of assembling their barrels to the upper who’s to say it’s wrong. You don’t know. You probably don’t know anything about this. Just complaining about it not being done the way all the others do it. Cringe as fuck bro.
These customers don't understand "inference fit". That is why is works so well. This is the way.
If they set the receiver out in the sun for a few hours... barrel will slide right in... wont even need to hammer.. the heat will expand the receiver for them
so will the barrel
@@Bender_B._Rodriguez Don't leave the barrel out in the sun if you are trying to do this.
