About Mountain Man Defense
I manufacture AR type firearms, and very soon handguns. I do gunsmithing and cerakote as well to keep the lights on. I am prototyping new weapon systems that I believe will be new and exciting.
What makes Mountain Man Defense unique?
Our warranty. For life, all small parts thatre broken or worn are replaced for free and large parts are replaced for cost. We do free annual assessments and inspections on our fully made firearms. We also focus solely on the armed citizen and do not sell to agencies not departments.
Currently, the only production complete rifle listed on the company’s website is the Roughneck. With a price of $995, this is their more budget-friendly offering, however, according to the manufacturer, it is still a very hardworking rifle and comes overbuilt and ready for hard use.
Here is the list of features of the Mountain Man Defense Roughneck rifle:
- 16″ 5.56 CrMoV QPQ Finished Barrel with a 1/7 Twist
- 4 Prong Flash Hider
- MMDef Chome Lined Phosphate BCG
- 7 surface M-lok 15″ handguard with picatinny on top
- Roughneck Forged Receivers

Nice looking Cerakote jobs and love the Rifle Speed adj gas block that is available. Best of luck and I hope your business prospers in the great State of Montana.
Try to OEM the handguard from Cross Machine and Tool, instead of Styngr USA. The CMT is much better.
