.308 Winchester – Proven Power and Versatility
The MD10 L is chambered in .308 Win, one of the most proven rifle cartridges in the world:
Ideal for general-purpose precision, hunting, and defensive roles (where lawful and appropriate)
Excellent terminal performance and energy delivery at medium to extended distances
Widely available ammunition in both training and premium hunting/defensive loads
Whether you’re ringing steel, harvesting game, or training with a serious semi-auto rifle, the .308 Winchester chambering gives the MD10 L real-world capability and versatility.
16" Fluted Barrel – Compact, Controllable, and Capable
This MD10 L features a 16" fluted barrel, optimized for a compact yet capable .308 platform:
16-inch length makes the rifle easier to maneuver in tight spaces, vehicles, and field positions
Fluted profile helps reduce overall weight and improves heat dissipation during extended strings of fire
Designed to provide a balance of accuracy, handling, and durability
For shooters who want .308 performance without the length and weight of a full-size precision rifle, the 16" fluted barrel configuration hits the sweet spot.
Sniper Gray Cerakote – Durable, Modern Finish
The rifle wears a tough, attractive Sniper Gray Cerakote finish on the receiver and handguard:
Cerakote coating adds excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and harsh environments
Sniper Gray delivers a sleek, modern look that stands apart from traditional black rifles
Pairs perfectly with black Magpul furniture for a two-tone, tactical aesthetic
This finish is built to handle real-world use while giving your rifle a refined, custom-quality appearance.
M-LOK Free-Float Handguard – Modular and Rigid
The MD10 L uses a free-float M-LOK handguard to maximize performance and accessory flexibility:
M-LOK slots at key positions for lights, bipods, foregrips, sling mounts, and accessories
Free-float design keeps the handguard from contacting the barrel, helping maintain consistent accuracy
Slim, ergonomic profile for comfortable support-hand placement and positional shooting
Whether you’re dialing shots from prone with a bipod or running dynamic drills with a light and grip, the M-LOK rail gives you the flexibility to configure your rifle your way.
Magpul SL-K Stock – Compact and Adjustable
On the rear of the rifle, the Magpul SL-K stock provides a compact, modern shoulder interface:
Lightweight, minimalist design ideal for compact .308 carbines
Adjustable length of pull to fit different shooters and gear setups
Slim profile that excels in prone, barricade, and urban-style environments
The SL-K helps keep the rifle nimble and maneuverable without sacrificing stability or comfort.
Magpul MVG Vertical Grip – Better Front-End Control
The MD10 L includes a Magpul MVG vertical grip mounted to the M-LOK handguard:
Enhances weapon control and recoil management, especially with .308’s increased energy
Provides a consistent reference point for the support hand
Works with a variety of modern grip styles and shooting positions
Whether you prefer thumb-over-bore or a more traditional grip, the MVG helps you keep the rifle steady and on target.
Magpul MBUS Sights – Ready to Shoot Out of the Box
The rifle ships with Magpul MBUS flip-up sights, giving you immediate aiming capability:
Front and rear MBUS sights serve as durable backup irons to your primary optic
Spring-loaded, flip-up design for rapid deployment when needed
Great for initial zeroing and training while you choose an optic
With MBUS installed, the MD10 L is range-ready the moment you take it out of the box, even before you mount glass.
Blackout Defense Flat Trigger – Crisp, Responsive Fire Control
A major performance upgrade on this rifle is the Blackout Defense flat trigger:
Flat-faced design promotes a straight, consistent trigger press
Clean, crisp break and short reset for improved precision and speed
Ideal for both controlled long-range shots and faster-paced drills
Building a premium AR-10–style rifle starts with a proper trigger, and the Blackout Defense flat trigger helps unlock the MD10 L’s full potential.
20+1 Capacity – Serious Firepower in a Compact .308
The Maxim Defense MD10 L .308 delivers a 20+1 round capacity, giving you ample firepower for:
Extended range sessions and steel runs
Practical and defensive roles (where lawful and appropriate)
Competition or training scenarios where reload intervals matter
Paired with quality .308 mags, this rifle is built to run hard and stay reliable.
Black Magpul Furniture – Proven Ergonomics and Durability

Magpul SL-K stock and MVG grip provide ergonomic, high-strength interfaces
Designed for serious use in a wide range of environmental conditions
Clean styling that pairs perfectly with the rifle’s modern design
