The Desert Tech WLVRN (brand part no. WLVRFB2010CB) is Desert Tech’s third-generation semi-automatic bullpup rifle, chambered here in 5.56 NATO with a 20-inch barrel in a California-compliant 10+1 configuration. Its integrated receiver machines the barrel mounting system directly into the housing, which Desert Tech says increases upper receiver stiffness and improves accuracy by up to 30 percent over earlier bullpup designs. The WLVRN is also the first bullpup that can be converted on the go between large- and short-frame calibers such as .308 Winchester and 5.56 NATO. It suits precision-minded shooters who want rifle-length ballistics in a compact bullpup footprint.
