Maxim Defense MXM49737 MD15L | 5.56 | 16″

The Maxim Defense MD15L (MXM49737) is a modern sporting rifle built around a free‑floating Slimline M‑LOK handguard and a fully floated, fluted 16″ barrel. It is offered with Magpul furniture, MBUS sights, a Radian charging handle, and a Blackout Defense flat trigger to provide a reliable, service-oriented AR platform. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well for both close-to-mid range work and general range use, consider a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8×24 or a similar 1–8x scope for quick target acquisition and flexible magnification.

Applications include law enforcement patrol/service use and precision practice or general range training where a durable, user-serviceable AR pattern rifle is appropriate.
