Just a teaser from the thermal testing we’ve been doing on the Mitchell Defense Dual Cool Handguard. The way this system has performed has been amazing, and it’s been incredible to see how much of a difference it makes. We’re finalizing the full results now and will be releasing the complete breakdown soon. Stay tuned. 🔥

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It is more than a sale, a discount, or a promotion. It is a day to reflect on sacrifice, courage, and the true cost of freedom.

Out of respect for those who gave everything, we are choosing remembrance over discounts today.

May we never forget. 🇺🇸

From battlefields to backcountry hunts, the 7.62×51mm NATO / .308 Wi******er has earned its place as one of the most respected rifle cartridges ever made.

Originally developed in the early 1950s as a shorter, more efficient replacement for the .30-06, the .308 quickly proved it could deliver serious accuracy, terminal performance, and reliability in a compact package. Adopted by militaries around the world as the 7.62 NATO, it became a staple in precision rifles, battle rifles, and machine guns for decades.

But the .308’s real legacy came after service life — where shooters, hunters, and precision rifle competitors embraced it for its balance of recoil, barrel life, and long-range consistency. Even today, in a world full of new calibers chasing speed and hype, the .308 remains the benchmark. Proven. Reliable. Timeless.

Built for precision. Rooted in history.

Built different.
No gimmicks. No shortcuts. No compromise.

Just two guys obsessed with building rifles the right way — and a company that refuses to follow the industry script.

This is Mitchell Defense.
Straight Outta Defense.
