Sons of Liberty Gun Works Launches the OB1 Signature Rifle by Christian Craighead: A Tribute to Excellence in Craftsmanship and Service
SAN ANTONIO TEXAS – Sons of Liberty Gun Works® is proud to announce the release of the “OB1” Signature Rifle, meticulously built to the exact specifications of Christian Craighead, a highly decorated veteran of the British military. With a distinguished 28-year career, including pivotal roles in the 22nd SAS, Craighead is renowned for his bravery, particularly for his decisive actions during the terrorist siege in Nairobi, Kenya, in January 2019. Since retiring in 2020, he has made Texas his home and partnered with Sons of Liberty Gun Works to bring his vision to life.
The OB1 rifle is a true reflection of Craighead’s commitment to excellence. It features an intricate engraving of the Blackbeard Boarding Party logo—representing Craighead’s own company—melding classic pirate imagery with elements inspired by the weaponry of the Revolutionary War. This unique aesthetic is further enhanced by the rifle’s cerakote finish in Craighead’s trademarked Rhodesian Brushstroke camouflage.
Specifications of the OB1 Signature Rifle:
• 13.7? V2 5.56mm barrel with pinned/welded HUXWRX® flash hider
• 13.75? L89 MLOK Handguard with Titanium Barrel Nut and 7-sided MLOK
• A5 Length Buffer System with FCD CN5F enhanced castle nut
• Magpul® DT stock, MOE Grip and Trigger Guard, and polymer Ejection Port Cover
• Liberty 2 Stage™ Trigger (L2S) with a 4.5lb total pull weight
• 50 Degree Ambidextrous Quick Selector
• Liberty Charging Handle (ambidextrous)
• Forged 7075-T6 upper and lower receivers
• Lifetime Warranty (including normal wear)
“We are honored to collaborate with Christian Craighead to create a rifle that embodies both functionality and artistry,” said Mike Mihalski of Sons of Liberty Gun Works®. “The OB1 Signature Rifle not only reflects Christian’s remarkable career but also stands as a testament to the quality and innovation that we strive for in every product.”
Sons of Liberty Gun Works® is dedicated to producing high-performance firearms that meet the needs of modern shooters. With an unwavering focus on quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, SOLGW™ continues to set the standard for excellence in the firearms industry.
Born in Northeast England, Christian Craighead has always taken an unorthodox route, constantly defying the odds stacked against him at every level.
At the age of sixteen, he joined the British Army, initially serving in the fearsome Parachute Regiment, and was then selected for the elite Pathfinder Platoon. Craighead’s natural “get the job done” mindset secured him a coveted spot at the pinnacle of most soldiers’ dreams: Tier 1 Special Forces.
As a senior and highly decorated member of 22 SAS, the British Army’s Special Mission Unit known for covert reconnaissance, counter-terrorism and hostage rescue, he participated in an exceptionally high number of high-risk missions and was wounded in action. This hard-earned combat experience underpins his reputation as a renowned counter-terrorism and special tactics instructor.
In 2019, Craighead single-handedly shifted the outcome of a terrorist attack in Kenya. His actions and leadership during the brutal attack are credited with saving hundreds of lives. Those unauthorized actions earned him global praise as well as an invitation and personal gratitude from the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
After 28 years of active service, Craighead retired in 2020. He continues to conduct leadership and specialized training and is sought after for keynote speaking engagements. The goal of his work is to encourage anyone to become the necessary leader, to have the courage to make decisions, and to actively reshape the narrative instead of being the passive bystander.
Staying true to his unconventional manner, Craighead is also the author of a children’s book, The Wrong Wolf. He now resides in Texas.

JACKSONVILLE, AR, (October 11, 2024) – SIG SAUER is proud to announce the official opening of the Jacksonville Arkansas Ammunition Center (JAAC) on the SIG SAUER Ammunition campus. The advanced manufacturing facility in Jacksonville, Arkansas brings 210,000 additional square feet of high-tech modern manufacturing in support of the U.S. Army Next Generation Squad Weapons and family of 6.8 Hybrid Ammunition.
“In just one year, we have built a manufacturing facility that will stand for generations with the mission to provide our soldiers an ammunition technology advantage in lethality and overmatch versus our enemies,” began Ron Cohen, President and CEO, SIG SAUER, Inc. “This incredible facility gives us the ability to significantly scale manufacturing and grow our output for years to come – and this is only the beginning.”
SIG SAUER’s $225 million dollar investment in facilities and equipment will yield more than 675 jobs and over $300 million in total economic impact in Arkansas. Since the 2016 establishment of SIG SAUER Ammunition in Jacksonville, Arkansas, the operation grew dramatically, now producing ammunition for all branches of the U.S. military, special forces and our NATO allies across six facility campus spanning half-a-million square feet across its six-facility campus.
“Arkansas is proud to be home to this facility. It isn’t just a quarter million square feet of manufacturing space and more than 600 jobs; it reinforces Arkansas’ place as the arsenal of America,” said Governor Sanders. “To Ron and all the team at SIG SAUER: thank you for believing in Arkansas and investing in our state. And to everyone who played a role in bringing this facility here: thank you for your hard work.”
The focus of the JAAC is advanced ammunition, strengthening the industrial manufacturing base for the U.S. Department of Defense. Through a strong cooperative effort, SIG SAUER and the U.S. Army realized this scalable manufacturing capability in just over 2 years.
“This facility exemplifies the significant investment being made to enhance capacity and capabilities to enable ammunition production at scale in direct support of our Warfighters,” said U.S. Army Joint Program Executive Officer for Armaments & Ammunition, Maj. Gen. John T. Reim. “It is amazing to see what the team has accomplished in two years with the introduction of the NGSW and the new 6.8mm round that ensures, when called upon, our Soldiers are equipped with the safest, most reliable, and lethal munitions, enabling them to decisively fight and win our Nation’s wars.”
Governor Sarah Sanders joined by Senator John Boozman; Ron Cohen, President and CEO, SIG SAUER, Inc.; Maj. Gen. John T. Reim, JPEO Armaments and Ammunition; Ron Goslin, Chief Operating Officer; Katelyn Wilson, VP Strategic Capture Operations; Sean McGee, Director of Ammunition Operations; and Jason Imhoff, Chief Technology Officer, Ammunition to cut the ceremonial ribbon.
“We live in precarious times and SIG is in a unique position to participate in the herculean effort to change our ground forces, and better protect our country and our allies,” concluded Cohen.

Galvion, a world leader in the design and manufacture of integrated power and data management solutions and innovative head protection systems, has announced the receipt of further orders from US DoD for their MAX-8 Mission Adaptive Charging Station™ and Squad Power Manager™ (SPM).
Galvion’s Nerv Centr® power management solutions have been selected as a part of a System Modernization Program (SMP) for the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) Dismounted Reconnaissance Sets, Kits, and Outfits (DRSKO) Program of Record. This announcement coincides with the AUSA event taking place in Washington DC, 14-16 October 2024, where Galvion is exhibiting at booth 733.
The customized power management solutions include the widely fielded Squad Power Manager™ (SPM) and Mission Adaptive Charging Station™ (MAX-8). Initial orders for 124 combined SPM and MAX-8 systems have been received to support the National Guard and Army DRSKO requirements following the successful completion of their user evaluation trials in late 2023. Deliveries of these systems will begin in late 2024. Additional orders are expected to support the specific CBRND DRSKO requirements of other United States Department of Defense (US DoD) branches of service (Air Force and Marines) when subsequent fiscal year funding is released, and service specific power management requirements are validated.
The Galvion Nerv Centr® SPM™ kit provides a lightweight and compact multifunctional system to enable the harvesting and management of energy from multiple sources. Using a customized selection of intelligent cables, the system provides the ability to scavenge, distribute, and manage power from multiple power sources (solar, AC, DC, military batteries, NATO plugs, and vehicle) and convert that power into a usable format for powering devices, peripheral equipment, and recharging batteries. Galvion’s Nerv Centr® MAX-8™ is a portable charging solution built to withstand the harsh conditions of expeditionary operations. With the ability to draw power from multiple sources, including AC, solar and vehicle, the MAX-8 battery adapters offer the ability to charge different types of batteries simultaneously, with no setting changes needed. The SPM and the MAX-8 feature intelligent functionality, including prioritization of needs, topping off the fullest battery first, automatic evaluation of power source and adjustment of charge rates to maximize power and minimize charge time.
Todd Stirtzinger, CEO at Galvion, said: “We’re very proud to be supplying CBRND warfighters with customized solutions that will improve the power management efficiency of their DRSKO kits. Our systems are deployed across multiple US units and organizations to enhance the overall capability that helps to protect the warfighter and the nation.” He added: “Our priority at Galvion is to deliver operational efficiencies and effectiveness for our users. These power management solutions simplify logistics by reducing battery burden and resupply requirements while ensuring that all mission-critical equipment is powered and ready to go in even the most austere environments.
Faster charging means less burden while out in the field, allowing teams to do more with less, an that is what drives everything that we do here at Galvion.”
