Platform Overview

The WLVRN is Desert Tech’s third-generation semi-automatic bullpup platform, featuring an all-new integrated receiver and thoroughly upgraded internals while maintaining the familiar manual of arms from the MDRX. That design continuity reduces the learning curve for MDRX users while delivering meaningful mechanical improvements.

Design and Modular Conversion

An important innovation is the receiver: the WLVRN is the first bullpup receiver that supports conversions between large-frame and short-frame calibers like .308 Winchester and 5.56x45mm NATO without swapping receivers. The receiver’s mounting system is machined integrally and borrows the barrel mounting and clamping mechanism proven on the SRS and HTI precision rifles, increasing upper-receiver stiffness and improving accuracy by up to 30%.

Practical Benefits

Stiffer receiver geometry reduces harmonics and improves repeatable POI (point of impact). For .308 Winchester shooters this means the WLVRN’s 16-inch barrel and enhanced receiver deliver practical precision in a compact package—useful for duty, precision patrol work, and hunting scenarios where maneuverability matters.

Price is set at $2629.99, and the package includes one 20-round magazine plus a WLVRN maintenance tool—enough to get a new owner operational right away. View product details and pricing on the shop page.

Caliber and Use Cases

.308 Winchester remains a versatile choice: effective at extended pistol-caliber ranges, reliable in varied environments, and compatible with a wide range of optics and suppressors. The WLVRN’s ability to accept different caliber kits without replacing the receiver makes it a future-proof option for units that need logistic flexibility.

Accessories and Field Considerations

The integrated receiver and SRS/HTI-style barrel clamp simplify barrel swaps and headspace control compared to many bullpups. Expect straightforward installation of optics and QD mounts, and plan for common maintenance using the included WLVRN maintenance tool.
