However, as we know there are basic AR's and there are BASIC AR's. what is acceptable for the range may not be acceptable for depending on to save your life. You make a good point about doing the legwork and how it can reward you with a quality gun, set up exactly as you like. As long as you have the experience on the platform to make well thought out decisions on what works for you and what doesnt, then a good mutt gun is a solid choice. I trust my life with my mutt, and built it for that purpose alone.This changes the equation for me. While I have used palmetto parts in some of my guns, and trust them to do their job, I only have 2nd hand knowledge of the complete rifles. What I have heard has been positive, but that info is tempered by how the guns were used. That is to say, I have not seen them used and abused in the way I expect a defensive gun to be treated and excel in that environment. Others here may have a better idea.I would encourage you research what makes the well known, high quality defensive guns more suitable for that role. This means you are going to have to sift through a lot of marketing hype, embellishment and outright lies. Learning about what attributes make a good AR for defensive use will help you sort it out.Caught this after my post. This is a solid gun, especially for the price. I have a buddy with the same rifle, and I have never met anyone; including in the military, who is harder on a weapon than this guy. I mean stupid hard. His gun has functioned flawlessly despite the abuse.</blockquote>
