POTD: Sons Of Liberty Gun Works OB1 Craighead Signature Rifle

This is the OB1 Craighead Signature Rifle is created by Sons Of Liberty Gun Works in partnership with Christian Craighead. If you don’t know about him, you’re missing out. But don’t worry, as TFB’s Photo Of The Day has the details: Mr. Craighead is a highly regarded former British Army Special Air Service (SAS) operator, known for his heroic actions during the 2019 hotel terror attack in Nairobi, Kenya. While off duty, Craighead single-handedly intervened in the attack, rescuing civilians and coordinating efforts to neutralize the terrorists.

Craighead, armed with a carbine rifle and wearing casual clothes, entered the complex and took decisive action against the attackers. His actions saved numerous lives and highlighted his exceptional bravery and skills.

Below: “The OB1 rifle is deeply engraved with the Blackbeard Boarding Party logo (Craighead’s company).  The classic pirate flag imagery (with its roots in close combat) has been updated with some of the weapons used during the Revolutionary War.”
