Ops-Core RAILINK Partner Spotlight: SureFire  

Wednesday, July 16th, 2025

In the third installment of Soldier Systems Daily’s look at the Ops-Core RAILINK ecosystem we present a spotlight on partner brand SureFire.

One of the first companies to integrate with RAILINK, SureFire’s HL2-A Light was developed via direct end-user feedback.

The SureFire HL2-A Light is a compact, high-performance lighting solution engineered for seamless integration with the RAILINK system. With dual output capabilities (white light and infrared) the HL2-A offers flexible illumination options for varied operational environments the HL2-A offers flexible illumination options for varied operational environments in a sleek, low-profile footprint. Designed with mobility, adaptability, and ease of use in mind, this tactical light is ideal for professionals requiring lightweight gear with reliable functionality.

The HL2-A features dual output modes with simple switching between white light and infrared (IR) illumination. Additionally, two output levels (high/low) are available for both white and IR modes, allowing users to adapt to mission-specific lighting needs such as administrative applications, with the high intensity for when you really need to push the light out there. The intuitive button design ensures quick, reliable activation between functions, even while wearing gloves.

The swivel head design rotates 115° (90° upward, 25° downward) for precise light placement without shifting body position. Rotating the head straight up allows for “umbrella” lighting, bouncing the light off ceilings or parachute canopy. This is useful in both white light and with IR conditions while using NVGs.

You can also angle the head forward for more traditional use to aid navigation/searching even while mounted on bikes.

The HL2-A’s slim profile and mounting design pair effortlessly with the RAILINK system for streamlined use with seamless integration, offering plug and play with instant power. Weighing just 20 grams (0.7 ounces) the light has minimal impact on headborne loadout with amazing illumination possibilities.

San Antonio, TX – July 8, 2025 – Sons of Liberty Gun Works (SOLGW), maker of the World’s Finest Fighting Rifles, is proud to announce several key developments from Q2 2025 that mark a period of unprecedented growth and expansion across military, law enforcement, and commercial markets.

To support the company’s continued upward trajectory, SOLGW has made two strategic hires: Sean Murphy has joined as Vice President of Sales and Marketing, bringing a decade and a half of industry experience in sales, marketing, training and business development roles. Scott Petersen also joins the team at Director of Special Projects, having recently retired from the prestigious U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, and has been working on a range of initiatives from increasing production capacity to pushing the edge of performance on new product development projects.

The company has also seen ever growing presence with law enforcement agencies, with over 60 new agencies adopting SOLGW rifles in the first half of 2025 alone. Among the major successes is the delivery of more than 375 EXO3 rifles for patrol use with a major southeastern US agency, representing one of the largest single-agency deployments in the company’s history.

Our growth is a direct result of that focus, and we’re proud to be earning the trust of professionals across the country.”

“This is a pivotal moment for Sons of Liberty,” said Mike Mihalski, founder and Chief Product Officer. “We’ve always said we build rifles for people who rely on them when it matters most. That mission is resonating across agencies, units, and responsible citizens alike. We’re grateful—and we’re just getting started.”
