DESERT TECH MDRX .223 REM., 16", FDE, SELF-LOADING RIFLE

Product detailed description

The abbreviation MDR stands for Micro Dynamic Rifle and it is no exaggeration to say that it is currently one of the best bullpups in the world. Thanks to this design solution, these weapons are very compact, even while maintaining the standard barrel length, very balanced and easy to control with one hand thanks to the grip in the center of gravity. In addition, the manufacturer focused on making the controls as similar or identical as possible to the AR-15 series rifles. The control of the weapon is very intuitive and easy, the controls are either completely ambidextrous or accessible from both sides of the weapon, or they can be rotated to the desired side. It is also possible to change the direction of ejection of fired cartridges, just by swapping the ejection window covers (one cover is used to eject cartridges and the other is the ejector). The variants marked "FE" (Forward Ejection) also have the function of ejecting the fired cartridge only when the slide moves forward, so the weapon can be safely fired from the opposite shoulder, without the shooter being in danger of the fired cartridge being thrown into his face. The "SE" (Side Ejection) variants eject the cartridges in the classic way to the side.

The MDRX model is an extension of the original MDR model, compared to which it has a reinforced case material (fiberglass-reinforced polymer, which now withstands the drop test according to the American military specifications Mil-Spec), an improved trigger mechanism (shortened stroke and reset, reduced resistance), a modified gas handle (must withstand military tests when flooded with water or immersed in mud) and as standard these rifles are supplied with an effective recoil compensator.

Desert Tech MDRX rifles are multi-caliber, which means that a barrel and possibly a breech and a magazine reduction can be installed in one gun case using a conversion kit. This makes it easy to change not only the barrel length and thus the purpose of the weapon, but also the caliber. The advantage is that, for example, The 6.5 Creedmoor and 308 Winchester cartridges, as well as the 223 Remington and 300 BLK, have the same bottom dimension, so to change the caliber between these two calibers, it is always enough to change the barrel.

The rifles are compatible with AR-15 (in calibers 223 Rem. / 5.56 x 45 / 300 BLK) or AR-10 (in calibers 308 Win. / 6.5 Crdm) magazines and are supplied with the Magpul P-MAG magazine as standard.

Basically, MDRX rifles are always supplied in one set (in one caliber), conversion kits or separate barrels can be ordered and supplied separately.
