I have the full length version of the mutant heavily upgraded. It's a great rifle.
I have one and love it. No issues so far except that apparently the way that I oriented the mag catch spring is incorrect. No issues in its function however.
The only issue I heard about the mutant from a member on ARF got a bad rifle from the factory. He sent it to CMMG and made it right and now he's very happy with it. You can read about that entire saga here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/17...buy_a_gun_that_severely_disappoints_you_.html
My rifle has been reliable and shoots straight. Other than a few mag locks due to myself or others botching the reload and missing the catch on the rifle, I've had zero issues. Easy fix: either bop out the mag or pop out the mag catch.
I wish the mag catch had a captive spring since I can't seem to orient mine in the manner that CMMG says to. That being said, my gun seems to function fine with the way I did it and I can't see how it can be done any other way.
Overall, buy with confidence. Even if the gun gives you issues, CMMG will take care of you and make it 100% right. They have great customer service.
The gun is highly customizable and mine looks pretty slick if I do say so myself. The stock, rail, grip and brake have been replaced and I couldn't be happier.
Ran well in the rain and mud at a 2-day carbine course and at an outdoor rifle shoot.
