hydrotech Wrote:. . . However on the video I saw Ercanbrack said it was a .308 and could easily change to other calibers....that seems odd due to the much larger magwell and magazine size needed for a .308 compared to the shorter 5.56, 6.8, 7.62x39....any info on how it works? Also are they considered short barrel rifles by BATFE or are they long enough since the magwell and ejection port are positioned so far back?

Re your question on the Desert Tech MDR magwell: In the following Link, scroll down the Page to the series of photos By SMGLEE. In photo #11, a close-up of the bottom of the MDR magwell, note the magazine adapter, which allows the use of AR-15-size magazines in the larger AR-10-size magwell.

Re your question about short-barrel rifles:
"Short-barreled rifle (SBR) is a legal designation in the United States, referring to a shoulder-fired, rifled firearm with a barrel length of less than 16 inches (40.6 cm) or overall length of less than 26 inches (66.0 cm). In the United States, an SBR is regulated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) as an NFA firearm. . . ." --- (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-barreled_rifle).
