Talk:Desert Tech WLVRN

WLVRN and Sabertooth need seperate pages

The WLVRN and Sabertooth Designs are different. The Upper and lower is different, including a different BCG and Trigger system to ensure compliance to ATF regulation that keeps the WLVRN from being illegally converted to the Sabertooth. (Think the illegal 3rd hole in an AR lower). They also changed the BCG in the Sabertooth to not be compatible with the WLVRN.

We have seen images of the Sabertooth BCG changes, we haven't seen anything to do with the full auto parts of the Sabertooth, most likely for ATF reasons.

We need to treat the WLVRN and the Sabertooth as seperate Rifles, with the same 'pattern' but not variants of each other. Example: a HK 416 is an AR pattern but it isn't a variant of an Colt M4. Nor is a civilian AR15 a variant of an M16.

Also note, the Sabertooth is visually distinctive from the WLVRN, it appears to retain the MDRx emergency gas vent over pressure plugs (in the event of an out of battery detonation). This feature appeared to be removed from the WLVRN.

It's deliberately not able to interchange parts, but it still seems like a variant instead of an entirely different model to me. Hellbus (talk) 21:44, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I guess it comes down to how we different variant. The M4 page donates different reversible configurations as variants, ways to dress it up. The AR15 mentions a 'version' of the m4 upper was adopted on the ar15.

The AR 18 is not a variant of an AR 15 even though it looks very similar on the outside (gas ar15 vs piston ar15).

The manufacturer (and the ATF if we believe the OEM) appears to consider them different models, different labeling. The big thing is we don't know how much has changed on the inside with the Sabertooth.

I think looking similar on the outside probably isn't the primary determination on if something is a variant. FrozenIceman01 (talk) 04:17, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
