I'll offer my initial thoughts. A little background on me if it matters: I'm a NRA LE / Civilian Instructor, gunsmith, competitive shooter, and gun shop owner specializing in defensive and competitive firearms.
I saw this rifle and ordered all 3 immediately and, ultimately ended up with the base model. I took it out the day I received it, literally within minutes of it's arrival and fired 4 Magpul magazines loaded with 124gr Wolff JHP. There were no malfunctions, but the fore rail did come completely off the rifle. This came after 3 magazines. I placed it back on the rifle and I fired the final mag holding the rail rearward. I disassembled the rifle and began checking the components. gas block was loose on 1 screw that had NO loctite on it at all. The second screw appeared to have plain red loctite applied yet, came right out with barely more than normal pressure. I saw no other issues. I will say, I'm severely disappointed that the bolt doesn't hold open and the CH is as standard type with no way to upgrade without major gunsmithing at best. I fired the rifle on 3 occasions now. I took the Mutant with me to a CQB / 2 man tactics training class. It was a miserable failure. The fore rail will NOT stay on not matter what. The gun is extraordinarily uncomfortable (actually, it's outright painful) to try and run with any sort of speed. I continually racked my knuckles and beat up on my fingers the first part of the rifle assessment. Without a bolt hold open and the miserable excuse for a charging handle, I just abused myself through the whole first portion. I don't want to bag on the quality, lack of features for the expense, or anything else I found wrong (yes, there are other bad things) so I'll cut this short. I'll be contacting CMMG tomorrow so I can return it to them and let them figure out WTH is wrong with their rail. All in all, this thing is a seriously good time for the average shooter / plinker, and if you can find one, buy it. |

I got the cheap version. Had I thought about it I would have bought a better version due to the cost of the upgrades but no big deal.
So far I really like the rifle but I never knew how spoiled I was with the BCM charging handle. That alone would bring the rifle up about 3 notches. I have only had trouble with one mag so far. |

View Quote The only difference between it and a standard AR15 or 308 charging handle is the length. There are tons of aftermarket charging handle latches on the market for you to choose from. Take it into your own hands and get one suitable for your use for less than $20. You can customize it with whichever one you'd like...that's the beauty of AR platform rifles. I haven't had any issues with charging mine, but I'm used to the standard charging handle latch on most of my rifles. |

Apologies if I missed it, standard AR15 style rails/FF forearms compatible?
Just saw it uses DPMS style 308 hand guards. Off to find a SR-25 3.1 rail :P |

Very interested in this and the Mk3
Any chance you folks are willing to work with BCM/Vltor on a Gunfighter? They didn't make that thing in a vacuum and it is meant to address the shortcomings of a standard AR charging handle - one that doesn't get run nearly as often as one of these. |

A raptor charging handle would be a great upgrade if you guys could have one produced.
Also interested in a 8"-10.5" barreled SBR option. |

Quick question...is the Mutant's charging handle proprietary, or standard AR15? Thanks! its proprietary, with the mid sized receiver and charging handle, we had to size it accordingly. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Here we are months later and still no ambi charging handle. It boggles the mind to think how this otherwise innovative design could have been sent to production without an ambi charging handle (and selector) from the factory, considering the above average price tag. I have a fully ambi AR-47, assembled for less than half the cost of this, thats as reliable as any of my 5.56 sticks. Please let us know when you add those ambi parts from the factory. |

While an interesting rifle I'll wait until the bugs are sorted. Thus far by all accounts it appears CMMG put in a lot of effort already when it comes to overall design. Things like the lack of ambi safety and charging handle are my main reasons for not already pulling the trigger. I've been shopping a better 7.62x39 for some time and have already tried several such as the SIG 556R etc and have yet top locate something that truly fits the bill of an all around 7.62x39 gun and modern......other then its original partners rifle.....the AK....which of course skips modern altogether. :P

I do agree with the charging handle complaint I'm sure a manufacturer will step up to the plate in the near future. That bet said, if you're like me and can't wait, you can replace the latch with an extended one. I'll update you all once I get mine installed. |

I'm just waiting on a heavier profile barrel. The current 16 inch barrel can't be cut down to 14.5/pin&weld, it's profile resemble a AR15 pencil barrel, way to thin for me.
Barrels are like women, I like mines thick.... |

I just had a badger latch installed on my rifle. Great upgrade. Only issue I noted was that the hook portion on the latch had to be filed down slightly to fit. Don't know why but now it's on and running smoothly. I also was able to purchase and install a Midwest Industries 12" MLOK rail on the rifle. It not handles and balances much nicer, not to mention that it looks really cool too. At this point, my rifle is essentially complete. My Mk47 has the rail and latch as I jus mentioned as well as a Magpul K2 grip and fixed carbine stock. I'll try to get some pics up if I can figure out how to. Only thing it is missing is the 7.62x39 hotshot ACOG which is calibrated for the 123gr bullet out of a 16" barrel. |

OK then. I'll pick one up. It should do well until a better ope comes along. I didn't know there was a gen 2 so thanks for the info.

took my mutant out for a weekend carbine course. day one is done. No issues at all. made the mistake of letting someone who was familiar with the AK platform try it out. they mag locked it. tried to bop out the mag but decided to go the quickest route and pop out the screw holding the mag catch.
due to my own stupidity, i couldn't get the spring back in because i was putting it in incorrectly. ran the last third of the day with my DD. once i figured out how the spring went in, i realized how easy it was when i was running the gun, it ran very well. no issues. my PWS FSC30 and Magpul Fixed MOW stock soaked up all the recoil and even others on the firing line didn't complain about my muzzle break at all. Ran about 150 to 200 rounds. Gun definitely needs an extended charging latch. My badger gen II worked very well and I'm glad i made the investment. Will update again tomorrow once the day is done. |

Just picked up a base model mutant because that's all they had. Already put the magpul furniture on but want to switch out the break.
What do I need to know about this rifle? What is "mag lock?" Anything I need to do before shooting? This is my first cmmg and my first 7.62x39 rifle. What is a good price for a box of 20 rounds? Thanks guys. |

Just picked up a base model mutant because that's all they had. Already put the magpul furniture on but want to switch out the break. I'm currently using the PWS FSC30 and have had excellent results and positive feedback from people I have let shoot my rifle. Very flat shooting and controllable. What do I need to know about this rifle? For optimum reliability, I would recommend using Magpul AK PMAGs with the all plastic construction. I personally avoid any metal feed lip mags due to mag lock, but that's just because I'm a worry wort and they are the only AK mags to be had here in Canada as AKs are banned entirely here. Many users have used steel mags with no issues. What is "mag lock?" Mag lock is something that can happen when you mess up a mag change. Essentially, it is when the rear of the mag catches the mag catch but the front doesn't catch the steel pin. You can't rock the mag out because the front of the mag is blocked against the front steel pin and you can't remove the mag because it is still captured by the mag catch (I hope that makes some sense) It is possible to strip the mag out or removed the upper and bop the mag out; which is why I prefer plastic feed lips as the only thing that can be damaged in this instance would be the mag. Plastic vs metal, metal wins. The other, easier alternative is to simply unscrew the mag catch spring and slide the mag catch out entirely with the mag. Entire process takes 2 minutes of actual work If that. This can be avoided just by not fucking up a mag change. Anything I need to do before shooting? I suppose it's always a good idea to clean a rifle first, but I didn't. I wanted to see how it would run out of the box. I did have 2 fail to feeds within the first 20 rounds but it went away and since then I've had no issues at all. Used it for a day carbine course and even in the rain and mud it ran fine and went bang every time. It does have a lifetime warranty. I will admit that my mag catch screw was out of spec and I had to punch in a larger Allen key and then screw it out. CMMG sent me a new pin and all was good. They have great CS and I think they make good stuff. This is my first cmmg and my first 7.62x39 rifle. What is a good price for a box of 20 rounds? Anything steel cased (just make sure it's non-corrosive) Thanks guys. View Quote |

I would like one to test out and keep it, thank you and good bye! JK these look BA
|

Forgot to mention one last thing: Don't over tighten the front steel mag catch pin. It will squeeze the front of the receiver together making it hard to remove and put the upper back on.

alright donster... your the man for the job here.
I'm getting ready to purchase one so how do you feel about that skinny looking barrel? Whats the final definitive answer to what aftermarket handguards fit this? ANY 308 sized guards? Im still confused there. I'll try to contact CMMG today and see what they are thinking for the future. I would hate to purchase one now if they are going to improve on some of these things. ...Man that barrel for the 7.62x39 round? We need a barrel on that bad boy! How could we not? My milled norinco magazine (and gun of course) looks like it would beat it up in a dark alleyway. |

My milled norinco magazine (and gun of course) looks like it would beat it up in a dark alleyway. View Quote This is Canada, so I don't do as much shooting as you guys down south, but to me the barrel is great. Light enough to use this for run and gun (or hunting for you folks who can) but still provides decent accuracy. I haven't yet done any serious accuracy testing, but all the major reviewers out there have definitely shown this to be a 1.5-2 MOA gun. Hand guards is a tricky one. As far as I know, it takes ONLY DPMS .308 style hand guards with the high profile (.210 upper tang). So long as you have a hand guard to those specs you're good to go. You can confirm this with CMMG. I actually really like my Midwest industries hand guard. It's super light and made my ability to handle and point the weapon MUCH easier compared to the stock hand guard. Don't let the barrel profile trick you. It is a medium profile and it is plenty heavy. I can't see then really improving the design all that much other than providing an extended charging latch from factory (remedied with a Badger GenII latch) and making the mag spring catch captive. I'm still unsure if I oriented my mag spring properly when putting it back in. Nice part is that the gun still functions fine, despite the mag catch seeming a bit looser. I can say that I've had ZERO issues with the rifle past an initial 50 rounds break-in period and an occasional mag lock due to a botch reload (inerrant to the AK pattern). I can do without a bolt hold open. The ONLY parts that are propriety are the charging handle, BCG, and buffer (due to weight). At the end of the day, their customer service is great and it has a lifetime warranty, so I can't see how buying one now would negatively impact you. There was a member on here who had an issue out of box and they made it right and he loves his gun now. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away! |

Got one coming and I will go from there and thanks for the input and posts. If in the future they try a pushrod system I would sell this and probably not be able to pass that up. The confirmation of the proprietary parts was a help. Have a good Christmas if I'm not back by then.

if I can give a serial number of my rifle would CMMG be up for taking it in (if it were an early enough model and needed) and applying the proper "new" compound or sending some to me? Red lock-tite specs are not exactly high temp. I want this rifle to work and I'm very pleased with my decision to order one. I just have memories of a purchase like this and the first months were a nightmare (long story short, new model, quality company, lots of bugs). Not outright saying it has bugs either, just want to be set up for success for that kind of money. In general: Hopefully it's taken the right way by everyone cause I don't want to be "that guy" but the gas block is a high heat area for pins in my opinion (like every rifle I own) and I wouldn't be to resistant to the idea on the next model. My last bother is even with the crappest crap of ammo I've never actually had a weak primer strike or a single oddball failure w/ my rebuilt mac yet. I admit it is obviously by luck and I'm not a every other day shooter either. I also do not shoot much crap ammo. Cant wait to receive it! Donster: I'll be happy to let you know about the spring orientation amigo. I'm sure I will be pm-ing you later and pestering you for sure if you don't mind! I love your setup and good job. |

Granted, the longest string of fire we can do in Canada is 5 rounds before we have to reload. Oh well... I do know that they added the new compound to the gas block virtually right after the video was released by Mr. Gunsngear. I think you should be good to go so long as you have a model that's relatively new. Again, In an absolute worst-case scenario, their lifetime warranty will have you covered. |

Again, In an absolute worst-case scenario, their lifetime warranty will have you covered. View Quote Exactly right. I want to be an advocate for the rifle. Honestly I don't know nothin'! . I had the thought that it can't be to easy to pin such a small block but I don't have any worries right now for sure so I went for it. It's the perfect fit for me. be back later. |

For what it's worth, Justin at CMMG told me the "new compound" that they use is nothing more than red loctite.
Again, straight from CMMG. The gas block on one of my Mutants wiggled after the first range trip. Applied red to the screws and no issues since. |
