The DOC MD15 and Sand Cutter BCG's are awesome. The FDE finish is phenomenal. Got all the colors now! After the range, I'm sure I'll be driving tacks again, lime my DOC GWOT And the DOC SOIDC!!

As a listener of We Like Shooting i have heard over and over about how incredible the DOC MD-15 is. I am a husband, a father, and whatever else those titles demand, and my money... My money is hard won.
This is way more than a simple decision. This is a lifeline. This is a tool that is absolutely essential and/or critical to one's ability to survive the most desperate of situations.
I have always had a "healthy" sense of mistrust or doubt, but when I listened to Nathan Mitchell on the podcast, I heard a guy that spoke modestly about building a rifle that he could trust in the moments that count. The things he said just made sense, choosing redundancy and robustness over the fiscally minded industry standards. I recieved my 16' DOC a few days ago, and I am absolutely floored by the build quality. The fit and finish are just as impressive. Thank you Mitchell Defense for delivering this beautiful, heirloom quality rifle that a man with a family can afford.

Good Company, shipped fast, and Customer Service actually ANSWERS THE PHONE! I had a question before I ordered, spoke to some guy named Nathan. He helped me out, but could use more training. This is a good American Company that makes Great rifles.

Mitchell Defense is a no-brainer: The quality is impeccable and the customer service is like going back to a time when great service existed and people took pride in their products. I'll be ordering from them again at least one more time before the August 2026 semi-auto "ban" in Colorado.
