OLD TOWN, Maine — Mack Gwinn III doesn’t like advertising his company’s whereabouts.

But he loves advertising his product, which he calls the most versatile assault rifle on the planet.

Mack Gwinn Industries, or MGI, is tucked into an unassuming, homey building on Main Street. The business isn’t open to the public and the doors are locked even when employees are inside.

MGI designs and manufactures the Hydra modular weapons system, which has a similar look and feel to the AR-15. But Gwinn’s version of the assault rifle allows the operator to change the barrel, magazine well and other parts at will to fire more than 30 different calibers of ammunition.

Doing that sort of alteration on an AR-15 is like changing the engine in a car, Gwinn said. On a Hydra, the switch doesn’t require any tools and can be finished in less than two minutes.

I've seen Hydras in the local Farm-Fleet store when they expanded the gun stuff to more than just fudd-guns. I've been meaning to investigate what they are and who made them. Cool, never realized they were that alterable. Hmmmmm

Sounds pretty good.  $1250 for the basic 5.56 rifle sounds great with it's adapability.

FWIW, I believe the AR's at Fleet Farm are Huldra Arms(Adams Arms) gas piston rifles...not the MGI product.
