Precision Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor
The Maxim Defense MD10 L takes full advantage of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge:
Exceptional downrange performance with flat trajectories and impressive ballistic efficiency

Reduced recoil compared to many traditional .308 loads while maintaining excellent energy and accuracy
Whether you’re dialing in steel at extended ranges or building a serious precision gas gun, 6.5 Creedmoor gives this rifle the capability it deserves.
18" Fluted Barrel – Balance, Accuracy, and Weight Savings
At the heart of this rifle is an 18" fluted barrel, optimized for performance and handling:
18" length strikes a balance between velocity and maneuverability
Fluted profile helps reduce barrel weight while improving heat dissipation
Enhances rigidity and barrel cooling, supporting consistent accuracy over longer strings of fire
For shooters who want a capable long-range rifle that still handles well in dynamic shooting environments, this barrel configuration is ideal.
FDE Receiver & M-LOK Handguard – Rugged and Ready

Free-float handguard design to support maximum accuracy potential

Magpul MVG Vertical Grip – Enhanced Front-End Control
Up front, the rifle includes a Magpul MVG (MOE Vertical Grip):
Direct-attach vertical grip for improved weapon control and handling
Offers a consistent support-hand index for fast transitions and recoil management
Works well with thumb-over-bore, C-clamp, or traditional vertical grip styles
For long-range strings or practical carbine-style movement, the MVG helps stabilize the rifle and keep your sight picture steady.

Flat-faced design promotes a straight-back trigger press
Crisp break and short reset for improved precision and faster follow-up shots
Ideal for long-range precision work, competition, or serious training
A high-quality trigger is essential in a precision rifle, and the Blackout Defense trigger gives the MD10 L a clear edge over rifles equipped with basic mil-spec triggers.
