In this episode of Iron Sights Podcast, I sit down with Mike Mihalski & Kyle Grothues, two high school buddies who turned their passion into one of the top AR-15 rifle and parts manufacturers in the industry. These guys aren't just business owners; they're hands-on, in-the-trenches gun nerds who put in the work, both in their factory and face-to-face with their customers. We dive into their journey, the challenges they've faced, and what makes their approach unique in an industry filled with big names and custom builders.This conversation was even more special because it took place at Shot Show 2025, inside Staccato Vegas (formerly Prairie Fire). If you're into firearms, you've probably seen Mike and Kyle on Instagram, other podcasts, or at industry events. They bring energy, knowledge, and an unfiltered perspective on what it takes to stand out in this competitive space.Timestamps:00:00 Intro05:30 Sons of Liberty Origins08:47 Challenges & Growth14:22 Innovations & Future22:20 Law Enforcement Expansion33:26 Innovation & Intuition35:02 Future-Proofing Firearms38:06 Decline of Customer Service41:03 Importance of Customer Retention56:25 Scaling While Maintaining Quality01:02:29 Consistency in Manufacturing01:05:05 Building Company Culture01:10:03 Hiring the Right People01:15:36 Industry Challenges & Innovation01:23:39 Social Media's Impact01:31:32 Future Plans for SHOT Show 2025Red Dot Fitness Training Programs:rdfprograms.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/

Crenshaw to talk about the ATF's recent ban on pistol braces—which effectively turns millions of law-abiding gun owners into felons—and the ATF Accountability Act, Rep.
