6.5 Creedmoor – Modern Long-Range Performance
Designed around the highly capable 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, the MD10 L delivers outstanding ballistic performance:
Flat shooting trajectory and excellent long-range accuracy
Superior ballistic coefficients for reduced wind drift and drop at distance
Well-suited for precision rifle shooting, steel, and hunting medium-sized game
If you’re ready to stretch beyond 5.56 or .308 and into modern long-range shooting, 6.5 Creedmoor in this Maxim Defense platform is a powerful combination.
18" Fluted Barrel – Built for Accuracy and Balance
At the core of this rifle is an 18" fluted barrel, optimized for precision and handling:
18-inch length provides excellent velocity while remaining manageable in the field
Fluted barrel reduces weight and promotes better heat dissipation over long strings of fire
Free-floated under the handguard to enhance consistency and repeatable accuracy
Whether you’re engaging steel at 600+ yards, shooting from prone, or working off barricades, the 18" barrel gives you the performance edge you expect from a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle.
Sniper Gray Receiver & M-LOK Handguard – Rugged and Refined
This MD10 L variant features a Sniper Gray finish across the receiver set and M-LOK handguard:
Modern Sniper Gray tone for a professional, understated look
Pairs perfectly with black Magpul furniture for a clean, two-tone aesthetic
M-LOK free-float handguard with multiple mounting slots for:
Bipods
Tripods and barricade stops
Weapon lights and lasers
QD sling mounts, grips, and accessories
The free-float M-LOK system allows you to build a precision gas gun that’s tailored to your shooting style and mission profile.
Magpul SL-K Stock – Compact, Comfortable, and Adjustable
The rear of the rifle is outfitted with the proven Magpul SL-K stock in black:
Compact, minimalist design ideal for modern, precision-oriented carbines
Adjustable length of pull to fit different shooters, clothing layers, and positions
Slim profile that works exceptionally well in prone, bench, and barricade positions
The SL-K stock keeps the rifle trim and maneuverable while still providing a solid shoulder weld and control for long strings of fire.
Magpul MVG Vertical Grip – Superior Front-End Control
On the handguard, the MD10 L features a Magpul MVG vertical grip:
Offers a consistent, repeatable grip point for your support hand
Enhances recoil management and muzzle control, especially helpful for rapid follow-up shots at distance
Compatible with modern grip techniques, whether you prefer a thumb-over-bore style or a more vertical hold
For those running positional stages, field matches, or dynamic training, the MVG grip makes the rifle easier to manage and more comfortable to run.
Magpul MBUS Sights – Ready to Shoot Out of the Box
The rifle comes standard with Magpul MBUS flip-up sights, so you’re not stuck waiting on optics to hit the range:
Front and rear MBUS sights provide rugged, backup iron sight capability
Spring-loaded flip-up design for quick deployment
Perfect for initial zeroing, training, or as a backup to your primary optic
While most shooters will run a scope or LPVO on a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle, having MBUS sights included means you’re never without a reliable sighting system.
Blackout Defense Flat Trigger – Match-Grade Feel in a Duty-Ready Platform
The Blackout Defense flat trigger is one of the standout features of the MD10 L 6.5 Creedmoor:
Flat-faced design encourages a straight-back trigger press and consistent finger placement
Clean, crisp break with a short, tactile reset for improved precision and faster follow-up shots
A significant upgrade over standard mil-spec triggers, particularly noticeable in long-range work
For shooters who care about precision and control, this trigger elevates the rifle into true premium performance territory.
20+1 Capacity – Long-Range Firepower on Tap
With a 20+1 round capacity, the MD10 L is built for serious shooting sessions:
Ample magazine capacity for long-range stages, steel matches, or extended practice
Fewer reloads during training and competition
Compatible with quality AR-10–pattern magazines (where lawful and appropriate)
The combination of 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics and 20+1 capacity makes this rifle a standout for precision gas-gun shooters.
Black Magpul Furniture – Durable, Ergonomic, and Proven
The MD10 L is finished with black Magpul furniture for durability and ergonomics:
Magpul SL-K stock and MVG grip provide comfortable, solid contact points
High-strength polymer construction designed for rugged use in demanding environments
Complements the Sniper Gray receiver and handguard for a clean, modern appearance
Magpul’s track record in real-world use means you’re getting components that can stand up to hard training and harsh conditions.

Build it as a dedicated precision gas gun, hunting rifle, or practical long-range carbine—the MD10 L gives you the foundation to do it all.
