The Son of Gun AR-15 carbine is based on the popular AR15 platform and manufactured by Polish manufacturer Son of Gun. It is a version with a 12.5" barrel length and sand colored (FDE) plating. This economical carbine is an excellent choice, both for all kinds of dynamic competition and tactical shooting. It features low weight, foldability and maneuverability. Thanks to the linear arrangement of the flask on one axis with the barrel and the automation system using direct gas injection into the slide, the carbine has very little recoil. Compatibility with the mil-spec standard and a front bed equipped with an M-LOK mount give a wide range of possibilities to modify the weapon to our preferences.

Compatible with military specifications

This, combined with an affordable price, makes the model in question a great choice for those planning intensive changes to the internal parts of the weapon. It will also be perfect for those beginning their adventure with dynamic shooting.
Principle of operation of the carbine
The AR-15 Son of Gun platform is based on the classic gas system developed by ArmaLite. It uses gunpowder gases that, through a hole in the barrel and then a gas tube, enter the interior of the slide, pushing it apart and unclamping it. The advantage of such a system is the reduced weight of the moving assembly, reduced recoil sensation and smooth operation of the breech. The weapon is bolted by rotating the breech face with 6 symmetrical bolts. The breech and trigger chamber, standard for AR-15 carbines, is made of milled aluminum coated with a durable coating created by the anodizing process.
The 12.5-inch precision barrel
The SOG AR-15 is equipped with a 12.5-inch-long barrel, which allows efficient maneuvering in confined spaces. Its surface has been subjected to a nitriding process, for protection against harmful factors such as the corrosive effects of gases produced during the combustion of gunpowder. The barrel ends in a thread with a factory-installed Birdcage-type flame suppressor.
The front bed is equipped with the M-LOK mounting system
The SOG AR-15 carbine uses a hexagonal front bed with angles at 3, 6 and 9 o'clock and M-LOK standard holes. With their help, you can easily install additional equipment like a flashlight, foregrip, angle grip or additional sighting device. Through the entire length of the lock chamber and the bed is drawn a 22mm rail for mounting sighting devices in any configuration.
