Apocalypse: Pestilence

Key Advantages Over Original Pestilence

• Precision-Built Components: The original Romanian military surplus parts kit has been replaced with our precision-built MDC 100 Series parts, machined in-house for tighter tolerances and superior durability.
• Upgraded Barrel: We’ve upgraded the barrel to our Cold Hammer Forged (CHF), chrome-lined 4150 CMV barrel, providing exceptional accuracy, heat resistance, and barrel life—replacing the former black nitrided option.
• Adjustable Gas System: The gas system now features our fully adjustable gas block, allowing you to fine-tune your rifle for suppressed or unsuppressed use.
• Classic Aesthetic with Modern Upgrades: The classic aesthetic remains with our hand-refinished “Apocalypse” wood furniture, battleworn finish, and iconic MDC engraving—but under the hood, it’s a whole new beast.
• Enhanced Performance: Chambered in 7.62×39 with U.S.-made internals, it delivers superior reliability, accuracy, and versatility in demanding conditions.
