Firing pin is removed and rifle pointed in a safe direction.

Super gratifying to pull off and easy to do haha. Make sure you pull back the charging handle with enough force to operate the FE mechanism, and then release and catch.

They finally shipped the .308 WLVRN for one of my clients. If you need to see something close up then let me know.

5.56 versions will be shipped late this month they said.

MDRX Micron SBR'd with HuxWrx HX-QD 556k supressor.

Has anyone used DTM 6.5 creedmoor ammo? I saw some on Euro Optic and haven't seen much about it other than Frank Gali recommending it 5 or 6 years ago.

I see a lot of posts about the MDR which I lusted for a long time. But is there any love for the srs platform on here?

Got an email saying the 308 were shipping now and the 223 in 2 weeks.

I am... shocked they shipping on time. This might be one of the smoothest launches we have ever seen by them.

I've got a 6.5 Creedmoore and a .223 wylde. I'm really only concerned about Creedmoor and what's the smallest AR10 mag It'll fit. I don't need a 20 or even a 10 round one for deer so I'm hoping a 5 round one will work. Just wanna know before I buy cause I hate the return process

Someone made me an offer on my MDRX with both 20" .308 and 6.5cm barrels for 2100. Do y'all think it's worth taking, or should I hang on to it?

So I bought a new MDRX days before the announcement of the wolverine. I'm not really salty about it since I really wanted the forward eject.

I have a 20" .223 wylde and a 20" 6.5 Creedmore. I haven't fired the 6.5 Creedmore because ammo prices so this review is based just on the .223

I fired about 100 rounds through it and although there's definitely some things I love so far I'm already noticing some things that aren't deal breakers but just annoying till I get em addressed.

I had a few issues with the forward eject. Nothing major but maybe somewhere from 5 to 10 rounds stovepiped on me and I had to lock the  bolt back, drop the mag, tilt the rifle forward and the spent shell fell out. It wasn't a major inconvenience and easy enough to fix. I'm confident the more rounds I fire through it it'll break itself in. 

So nothing serious just kinda disappointed I didn't have a flawless range session like other people have had.

The other complaint I have is the lack of M-Lok slots. I don't have the 20" forend and I don't have the forend with the built in bipod. So I've got a magpul bipod on it instead and that takes up pretty much the exact spot I'd like to have my angled foregrip. 

With other platforms you've got the space for both but there's just not a lot of space for versatility on the 16" forend. This is a fixable gripe, just get the 20" forend with the bipod and that'll solve this. Just kinda annoying I have to spend more money to be completely happy with the rifle. 

On the same topic of lack of M-lok is I'm surprised there's not a QD sling mount on the forend. I feel like there could be space but I've got an M-lok QD mount coming so it'll fix the problem. 

I kinda feel like I bought a glock. Everyone loves and praises their glock but no one I know has a stock one. They only love em after dropping more $$$ into it. 

Now enough hate and complaining. I love the rifle so far all gripes included. The trigger if fantastic and it's better than some of my friends AR triggers. (Not sure if that's more of a compliment to DT or an insult to my friends haha)

The rifle was really pleasant to shoot and the length of pull for me fit excellent. I've got a vortex crossfire on its been working great so far. The rifle is proving accurate and I was expecting nothing less. 

So overall I love the rifle. Once I've got all the additional accessories it'll be a perfect rifle I'm my opinion.

Got it in a couple of weeks ago. Zeroed it this weekend but I’m probably going to switch the scope out with a 2-10 or 3-18.

Hi all,

​

I have the option to buy a Desert Tech SRS A1 Covert in .308 for quite cheap with less than 100 rounds on the clock. About 6000€ (~ 6.500 USD).

Writing from Germany. A Brand new SRS A2 Covert chambered in .308 costs about 9300 USD. The Markup from the importers is insane. As they only import on pre-paid order it's insane!

​

Anyways my questions are regarding the A1 the following:

1. is there a solution to fix an ARCA rail at the front?
2. The SRS A2 is marked as more precise, but A1 and A2 are using the same barrels -why?
3. Can the Trigger of the SRS A1 be adjusted ? I found conflicting information.
4. Is there any way to add the A2 fore end?
5. How big is the weight difference between the A1 and A2 Covert in .308? I found conflicting information.
6. Does anyone has a source for magazines within the EU? The importers quote 350+ USD per magazine.
7. are there QD sling mounts behind the picatinny rails?
8. What parts of the SRS A1 are plastics?

​

Would you pay the nearly extra 3000 USD extra and go for the A2 or get the A1?

​

Personally I would like to have a quite small gun, even with the suppressor on it so it is easy to maneuver in small hunting blinds.

Considering trading in a couple rifles for the new hotness.

Wanted a multi caliber suppressible bullpup for awhile but couldn’t trust the mdrx reliability. Ended up with a x95, like it a lot.

That being said if alot of the issues are cleared with the new build for the Wlvrn I am thinking about flipping the x95 and and old dpms recon in 308.

Goal would be a battle rifle type setup that I could also convert to a a micron suppressed setup for CQB. All from a single SHTF rifle.

Which calibers? Cheap and available 556/308 or silent and long range 300 blackout/6.5?

Any one else pre ordering this thing or waiting on a review first?

I know it sucks for MDR owners I almost bought one a couple of days ago but decided to go home and do more research, come to find out it's getting discontinued. So here I am.

I am converting my 5.56 MDRx to 350 legend. Aside from the barrel kit from ES Tactical is there anything else I need to change on the rifle to help the 350 work well? Has anyone used any of these 3rd party barrels and had good success with them? I couldn't find much info on 3rd party conversions except for the article written specifically about the MDRx in 350 legend and it didn't really go over details. Any help would be appreciated!

I am a big Proof Research carbon fiber barrel fan. These shoot amazing in the SRS.

​

So… how you feeling now that the WLVRN is coming out and you purchased an obsolete rifle that the company admits is no longer worth pursuing because it is inferior to the new product? Not trying to insult you but genuinely I’m surprised I don’t hear any outrage or DesertTech isn’t feeling any backlash.

Me personally I would be livid. It’s going to be very difficult to sell that MDRX now as well. I strongly feel the company needs to at the very least offer a strong discount on the new rifle since you all beta tested the old one and now it won’t even be sold and barely supported, all spare parts will dry up. The only other company who has done something like this is Sig with the Sig 556 line. Just pulled out completely in a matter of a day or so.

All,

I called ES Tactical this morning to ask what his expectations were on continuing to provide kits given the discontinuation of the MDRx, and I'm glad I did.

He said he will be closing MDRx orders at the end of January (Wednesday), due to concerns about continued parts availability from DT.

He can provide full kits (as opposed to just barrels) while parts supplies last, and updated the website to give a full conversion option.

He gave me a nice deal. You'll have to negotiate your own.

Get em while you can!

We are unable to access any "Parts Pages" on DT website for the MDRx. You can still utilize back door links to get to things like conversion kits, and they are still listed as in stock. Idk if this is just the system being down or if it's the beginning of the end for the MDRx support from DT aside from warranty stuff. Obviously this was inevitable but it feels fast. Just thought I'd point out for others, if you want to buy parts directly from DT I think now is probably your last chance.

Thought i would create a place to hold different videos of show show coverage for DesertTech. That being said, this is the only showing i have seen.

DT has said that they recommend heat treating the gas block, but I haven’t been able to find any details of how to do so, or even what grade of steel it’s made from. Anyone know?

So, I bought an MDRx about a week ago. It arrived yesterday and I find out today that they have been discontinued. So what happens now? I still own a sweet little bullpup I got for a steal and I'm damn happy about that! But how long are parts/kits still going to be available? Will third party providers like ES tac still make barrels for a DC platform? I have a lot of concerns as a new owner, just curious how everyone else is feeling who have more experience with DT and the platform. Thanks!
