So I was at my local shop yesterday and they had an FDE MDRX in .223 for $1100 out the door.
I played with it a bit and seemed nice and trigger was much better than I expected. I have a soft spot for bull pups and own a PS90, FS2000, Hellion, Tavor, AUG and an MSAR so it’s not like I really need it but price seemed good to me but haven’t been shopping for one. Too good to pass up? |

If you're into bull pups and already have a few in your collection, $1100 for an MDRX is a pretty sweet deal. I’ve handled a few bull pups myself, and if the MDRX’s trigger is better than expected, it sounds like a great find. If you’ve got the space and the budget, I’d say go for it!

I paid double that for mine. I think I over paid, but would be much happier with it if I had paid 1100. It is not as accurate as an AR and still has more recoil than I would expect, but it is very fun to shoot. Very loud. It is also nice for a leftie.

For 1100 I'd jump on that.

I paid $2600 for my MDRx.
(Sigh) In truth, it's very reliable and the forward eject is cool. Mine's accuracy took a lot of tweaking to get to being OK. I wouldn't pay $2600 again for one, (sigh- but hey , my bonus hit , and it was a good bonus). But $1100?? Wow. |

It’s used but looks new
Like I said, I don’t really have a need for it but seemed like a good deal. I have it on hold and will probably pick it up this week then. Thanks |

Zero parts for it. DT discontinued it. So there is that … they won’t be making any new parts …

Even if it's a "good deal" it will become a paperweight soon as a critical part breaks or wears out. No thanks. |

I have an increasing number of firearms that are discontinued..Parts arent really a concern lol (I also have a Tavor SAR and Beretta ARX100)...These are both discontinued but I got a great deal on them. |

Pretty much this. They made a large backlog of parts and are honoring warrentee repairs. The guns are well enough made and hold up fine, so I wouldn't ove-focus on that aspect. |

How is that defined now ... I can say I have 10 years of parts ... but really only have one rifle worth of parts in inventory ... that statement is very and can be misleading ... I hope they prepped for it appropriately ... but I am not holding my breath ... getting an MDRX now as a primary rifle would be dicy in my opinion and I'd just save up for a WLVRN if one is to go DT ... |

Hell, half the bull pups I listed that I already own have no spare parts. I’m looking at you FN and MSAR
I also have a Robinson M96 and worry every time I take it to the range. Even worse for my transferable Valmet M78 but it still goes to machine gun shoots. I guess spare parts don’t worry me too much as it will not be a heavy use gun but definitely something to take into account. |

I'd only buy it if you can test fire it. There were plenty of MDRX owners who got turds.
Mine runs great. The guy who got his with me, right out of the same batch, same model, same color, he ended up with a disappointing pile of garbage. |

There is some parts commonality in the Wlvrn. Just depends on what your replacing |

There is some parts commonality in the Wlvrn. Just depends on what your replacing That, and this gun is the exotic. Nobody runs an MDRx, or an HK PSG1 or an SVD as their primary beater. But it'll run. I have over 1000 rounds through my 6.5 Creedmoor unit, and have run it 3-gun and hunting and gong range. It runs fine. They have spare parts - and being discontinued you'll.be able to sell it for more than you paid, later anyway. |
