I have an MDR, got it from a 4 year old pre order list I put my name on at SHOT

2019-01-02 04:45:40 UTC  

before the issues were widely known

2019-01-02 04:45:47 UTC  

it mostly works

2019-01-02 04:45:52 UTC  

So, how does yours run? lol

2019-01-02 04:46:15 UTC  

so, I have been able to run about 8 different brands of ammo through it

2019-01-02 04:46:17 UTC  

I'm disappointed that they failed

2019-01-02 04:46:26 UTC  

it actually ran silver bear

2019-01-02 04:46:46 UTC  

it consistently tore the rims off of Hirtenberger

2019-01-02 04:47:12 UTC  

Federal XM80C wouldnt go out the ejection chute, a la garand thumb

2019-01-02 04:47:14 UTC  

IMO the MDR suffers from both design and execution issues

2019-01-02 04:47:26 UTC  

It’s a shame.

2019-01-02 04:47:27 UTC  

I know what the issue with it is

2019-01-02 04:47:40 UTC  

an it is a simple fix for them

2019-01-02 04:47:49 UTC  

Add less complexity?

2019-01-02 04:47:57 UTC  

I want the MDR so I can use it as a baseball bat

2019-01-02 04:48:04 UTC  

the issue is dwell time

2019-01-02 04:48:18 UTC  

it damages the rims of most cases

2019-01-02 04:48:27 UTC  

it is attempting to extract too early

2019-01-02 04:48:46 UTC  

so, they can either change their gas port location

2019-01-02 04:49:05 UTC  

or design a longer, hollow gas plug for more expansion

2019-01-02 04:49:18 UTC  

I bet they were aiming for a certain bolt velocity to get the silly case ejectors to work properly

2019-01-02 04:49:31 UTC  

this is why their 3-6 position gas plug solution didnt fix it

2019-01-02 04:49:31 UTC  

And thus sacrificed overall function

2019-01-02 04:49:40 UTC  

probably

2019-01-02 04:50:00 UTC  

they need to re profile their ejection chute

2019-01-02 04:50:03 UTC  

But I think you’re right about it being a dwell time issue

2019-01-02 04:50:13 UTC  

you really have to rack it hard to get live rounds into it

2019-01-02 04:50:19 UTC  

It’s just impressive how badly it has failed

2019-01-02 04:50:27 UTC  

it's so close

2019-01-02 04:50:28 UTC  

(Or appears to be failing)

2019-01-02 04:50:55 UTC  

There has to be a ton of R&D money into the thing

2019-01-02 04:51:02 UTC  

mine runs reliably right now, thankfully

2019-01-02 04:51:04 UTC  

Plus tooling up

2019-01-02 04:51:21 UTC  

yea, they spent years on it even after the initial announcement

2019-01-02 04:51:42 UTC  

I can understand the odd QA issue. I dealt with that on my Hudson H9

2019-01-02 04:52:09 UTC  

But with this much dev time with an established company, it’s very disappointing

2019-01-02 04:52:23 UTC  

I don't think the current CEO is serious about fixing the issues

2019-01-02 04:52:43 UTC  

he's been very unprofessional on the bullpup forum trashing reviewers and other rifles

2019-01-02 04:52:56 UTC  

Everyone is serious about fixing issues when asked.

2019-01-02 04:53:13 UTC  

Also, bullpup forums was a shit show when I was there in the past

2019-01-02 04:53:24 UTC  

lol
