New Desert Tech MDR Rifle

Desert Tech, formerly Desert Tactical Arms, announced a new rifle: the Micro Dynamic Rifle (MDR). The Desert Tech MDR is a compact rifle in a bullpup-configuration. With a 16.5″ barrel, the overall length of the gun is only 26″. This makes it an 1/8″ shorter than the IWI TAVOR that was introduced to the US market last year.

The rifle will be available in five different calibers, and will be able to quickly convert between them without the need of tools. I would expect that 5.56 NATO and .300 BLK will be two of the calibers available.

The MDR uses ambidextrous controls and has a forward ejection system. This makes the rifle very easy to shoot and use from either shoulder.

New Ruger Guns for 2014

Ruger announced a number of new gun models including a new DA/SA version of the LCR called the LCRx. One deviation from prior Ruger product announcements is that some of the guns are not ready to ship immediately. In the past, when Ruger announced a new firearm, the gun was already in production. Some of these new guns, however, come with an expected ship date.

Here is a quick run down of the guns…

New SIG M400 Rifles

SIG Sauer is now showing two new M400 rifles on their website: the Predator and the Muddy Girl. The guns address two distinctly different markets for the AR-15 rifle market.

The new SIG M400 Predator rifle is designed for long range precision: for either hunting or competition. Chambered for the 5.56 NATO, the rifle uses a 18″ barrel made of 416 stainless steel. The barrel has a 1:8″ twist rate.
