Okay, I don't post much but I lurk enough to know...
"As for now we are not releasing any information on products that may or may not be in the works. We're always looking for new ways to improve on existing products and explore the boundaries of new ideas. Thanks." But I saw a thread in general discussion about the PDR being completely off the table and canned due to lack of interest. And I did notice a marked drop in posts regarding the PDR after the neat little optimus prime FMG-9 made its shotshow debut, but seriously the PDR is what I have been most excited to see. I have been hiding away the funds since the PDF brochure came out so I can buy a pair of them complete with tax stamps the day they hit the street, and now I hear they are cancelled... have Porter |

I talked to Mike from Magpul today at the NRA show and he was mentioning the PDR, and the way he spoke, it sounded like they are still working on it. He was saying that they intend for officers in the military to be given a PDR rather than standard sidearms. That's not anything concrete or official, but it's what a Magpul guy told me, so I take it at face value.

Yeah I understand the original intent, and I also read all of the talk about making it eventually available to civvies as well (which magpul has been incredibly good about -thank you) I have a brother-in- law in LE that is very jazzed about the PDR and I personally would much rather have one than a P90, even if it was twice the price.
Yes and I want the shoulder holster too. I do a lot of work on the weekends in some very remote areas getting in an out of vehicles etc and a PDR would be ideal, especially if I could just keep it in the shoulder rig. Hopefully it is available in lefty, but beggars can't be choosers. I just want the rifle. But if you talked to him today that is encouraging. You can't believe all of the rumormongering that goes on in GD, which is why we don't get all of the nice updates that we used to. Thanks for the input. Porter |

Good, As I really want one (maybe two)! |
|

Magpul,
Thanks for laying that rumor to rest. As a huge fan of bullpups and Magpul both, I just want to say thanks for coming up with another innovative and excellent product, and whenever its done I'll definitely get one. And thanks for putting up with all the crap that seems to get thrown at you for no good reason, there are plenty of us who appreciate your willingness to communicate on this forum. Keep fighting the good fight against internet trolls, James |
|
Hooray!
Any chance of a Magpul beltfed shotgun? You know, for pest control. |
|
Thanks to you and everyone else that supports us. The numbers are on our side but there are some here that will stop at nothing short of low blows to bring us down. |
|
|
The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on. In the end, the dogs are just that: dogs. |
|
|
Thank you Magpul.
I am interested in the PDR and will buy a few. |
|
If anyone can build a bullpup worth buying, it is Magpul.
Because no one has built one yet that is worth buying. |
|
I really hope that the PDR can make and survive the oncoming tidal wave from our future elected leaders.......
Because I really really want one!!! |
|
Hey DrDrake..... Fuck "them". You guys keep on innovating and turning out quality products without compromising or stooping to their level. |
|
|
I am totally planning on getting one as soon as they come out, hell im in for a preorder, too bad no sbr in AL...
|
|
Bumping this to make sure that we still have a possibility of the PDR
|
|
I'd be in on a prepaid order. |
|
|
What is this PDR of which you speak?? Is that the uber cool glock/flashlight thingy??? If so I WANT BAD!
|
|
|
Good to hear its still on the table. The PDR is the only bullpup I am interested in at this time. I can wait till Magpul gets it right and out the door.
|
|
Same here. |
|
|
Just to give some support to this weapon:
I didn't want another .223 until I saw this. I want this bad. Really don't mind doing the SBR on it if necessary. As soon as this is released it goes to the top of the "next gun list" immediately. |
|
me too...... even if I have to charge it on a CC!!!!
got a brand new NFA trust with a MUCH too empty schedule A |
|
for those more knowledgeable than myself-
Isn't there a way to set up a serial # pre-purchase if a ban starts to go through? I mean, if its on your trust or LLC etc prior to a ban, you can still receive it after a ban is enacted, right? They cant retro-act a ban, can they? not in the wrong thread.... I'm referring specifically to the PDR and Magpul or whomever they would sell the manufacturing job to |
|
|
The pics with the super glue are from two years ago. The PDR prototype was damaged in transport. |
|

What DrDrake isn't telling you is that it wasn't even a working model. He's being very modest. It was made from nothing that would ever enter production. The only reason I am adding to his comment is because some jackass was assuming (in a different thread) that because some pre-production display piece broke that it reflected on the quality of material used in normal Magpul production... I should have mentioned that when I posted those pics... Sorry guys. ETA for DrDrake: Some more (newer) pics would help And do you have the pic series with the shoulder holster? |

Thats what I kind of figured drake, I was at the 07 Shot Show and saw that the early ACRs (Masada at the time I suppose) were either "machined" from some kind of plastic instead of molded or do you guys use that rapid prototyping laser epoxy stuff and then finish it to suit the color? it seems too heavy for that. I was also wondering is there any way that we could see pictures of the inner working at Magpul? I am sure that they would have to be heavily edited to protect new designs and what not, but I would LOVE to see some of the molds used to produce PMags or CTRs or some really just about anything inside the plant (come to think of it what does the outside even look like?) if not keep up the good work!

Keep your fingers crossed. Remember Dr. Drake knows who has been naughty and who has been nice.
|
|
I never saw this. Link to the brochure? |
|
|
Throw a 16"bbl on it and you have an American bullpup RIFLE You just can't loose |
|
|
+1 Please build it! |

Quoted: if this really does come out, i will have to get a locker out of state (KaliforicstanQuoted: I will buy one of these if they come out. As will I. ). this will get spendy. |

would it be safe to say it can take a pmag? not that i want to do this all the time, just at the range... for fun.
|

BTT
Now that the ACR is in Bushmaster/ Big Green hands, has Magpul moved forward with this? |
|
I would buy one... If i came into some money. But then again, there are ALOT of firearms i would get if i had a bigger budget
But i can just tell that thing is going to cost some major mullah. Oh well, more mosin nagants for me! |

We pretty much try and keep the inner workings of Magpul a mystery. Our building doesn't even have a sign outside. |

Drake,
You may want to go the aviator route. Their needs are a little differant then the big Army is focused on with the PDW(as is their thought process). Of course they are looking for something that will go bang NOW not a year from now. |
