The 26 in barrel is a notable outlier for this platform, built in a heavy, straight profile of approximately 1.2 in OD to support stable, consistent performance. It is threaded 5/8x24 with a pronounced shoulder and an M24 suppressor-interface profile at the muzzle, giving the barrel a robust, precise termination for compatible devices.
The MDT XRS chassis provides a 6061 aluminum core with polymer skins in FDE, combining rigidity with user comfort. It features an adjustable cheekpiece and adjustable length-of-pull; the rifle is currently set to a 13.5 in LOP with a fixed butt. The forend uses the M-LOK interface for accessory placement.
Mounting interfaces are well covered: a one-piece Picatinny scope base is installed on the receiver, a long ARCA-style dovetail runs the forend underside, and a short Picatinny rail section is fitted at the forend top/front. There are no factory sights.
