Yep. Either way. I would like to see some heavy hitters as far as calibers go.

This platform is perfect for the 6.8 and 6.5 Grendel. It's also ideal for the 5.56 and 300 blackout."Those who sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin

Uh, not exactly. Try 16.5" barrel, 26" overall length.
"*Portability – The MDR has unrivaled portability because it is lightweight, com- pact, ergonomic, and balanced with an overall length of 26″ (or 20″ with 10.5″ barrel)..."

ETA: Longer barrels are obviously pretty easy... Here are 16.5", 18.5" and 20" options. I would find a 20" 6.5 Creedmoor config very useful...
The 10.5" barrel and 30 round mag mentioned are almost certainly tied to a conversion kit of some kind that will allow 5.56-sized mags. I am also having trouble picturing a 10.5' barreled .308 bullpup... Ouch.
I'm betting the front sight contains both windage and elevation adjustments and is tied to the barrel, so swapping barrels preserves your zero if using the provided fixed rear iron sight. Photos of the front sight mechanism also seem to show the sight cantilevers as it folds so it tucks in neatly and is not just flat over the flash suppressor.Last edited by m796rider; 01-11-2014, 03:09 PM.

An MDR in 6.5 Grendel would be more to my liking, especially if paired with the steel-cased Wolf FMJ ammo. (Of course, both are really just wishful thinking, if only because of my physical and legal limitations.)

18.5 is probably the shortest barrel possible and still stay under the 26" minimum length. 26" is a pretty short rifle so unless room clearing is important 20" or even longer barrels make sense.
I did what m796rider suggested and counted the rail, looked like a 3" mag to me not counting the rear lug.
Yeah a very short, 8 lb-ish 65CM has my interest.
