Desert Tech plans on other cartridge conversion kits down the line, too.<\/p>\n<p>The MDR uses AR-15-pattern magazines for .223 and 300 BLK and AR-10-style mags for .308. The chassis incorporates a magwell adapter to handle the different magazine sizes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The color mix of this first batch is 60 percent flat dark earth and 40 percent black,&#8221; explained Young. &#8220;Every batch will be split up proportionally between dealers and end users based on when they placed their orders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have dealers and end users who jumped on board in the beginning and we are sticking to that priority schedule until we fulfill the entire backlog,&#8221; Young said. &#8220;I would expect it will take us 6-8 months to catch up on the backlog as we are continually receiving new orders daily and I\u2019m sure that will increase substantially once the rifles hit the stores.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Desert Tech is launching all three models with 16-inch barrels. In the past we&#8217;ve seen rifle-length barrels as well as even more compact SBR-length assemblies. Still, it makes sense for Desert Tech to go with a single length setup for now just to speed up production.<\/p>\n<p>With the guns finally shipping to buyers we also have hard numbers on the MDR&#8217;s specifications. In all three configurations, it has an overall length of 26.2 inches and weighs 8.7 pounds. Prices start at $2,274 for the rifles and $749 for conversion kits.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_77538\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-77538\" title=\"The Desert Tech MDR Bullpup Now Shipping\u2013Really!\" class=\"wp-image-77538 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/first-production-mdr-2.jpg\" alt=\"The Desert Tech MDR Bullpup Now Shipping\u2013Really!\" width=\"900\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/first-production-mdr-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/first-production-mdr-2-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/first-production-mdr-2-400x228.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/first-production-mdr-2-768x437.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-77538\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unlike early prototypes, the MDR mounts an optic to the barrel with a riser. (Photo: Desert Tech)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Desert Tech first showed prototypes of the MDR, or Micro Dynamic Rifle, as early as 2014. The ambitious design resonated with shooters everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Bullpups have been around for a long time and while the compact rifles have a lot of fans, there are some problems inherent to these guns. Typical bullpups can only be used by right-handed shooters because of the rear ejection port. They also tend to have rough triggers and barrel mechanics which often lead to middling accuracy. The MDR has none of these problems.<\/p>\n<p>The MDR was built from the start to accommodate both right- and left-handed shooters. In addition to its reversible ejection system the MDR ejects cases forward, away from the shooter. This means that users can shoot the rifle in their off hand or lend it to a shooter with a different handedness without having to reconfigure the rifle. The rest of the controls are fully ambidextrous.<\/p>\n<h2>See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/desert-tech-phone-hud-app-mdr-q4\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"desert-tech-bullpup-mdr-shipping\" title=\"The Desert Tech MDR Bullpup Now Shipping\u2013Really!\">Desert Tech MDR Update and Cool Smart Phone HUD App<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The MDR also uses a floating barrel system with a short integrated rail for optics. This allows shooters to mount an optic directly to the barrel. This not only delivers solid accuracy, it means that users don&#8217;t have to re-zero their optics when they switch barrels.<\/p>\n<p>The receiver and handguard are railed for magnified optics and other accessories.<\/p>\n<p>Desert Tech has been in the long-range business for a long time and for them accuracy is important. Because of this the company worked hard on delivering a match-grade trigger system with their MDR rifles. These don&#8217;t have heavy, spongy triggers common to most bullpups.<\/p>\n<p>The long wait and tall expectations have set the bar high for Desert Tech. These are not inexpensive rifles and Desert Tech will have to really deliver. If they pull this off, they will change the world of bullpups completely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This highly anticipated bullpup rifle has an unparalleled set of features
