The KT10 Longbow – A Game-Changing Magnum AR
Revolutionizing Rifle Design
Luke Maslak is reshaping the firearms industry with his innovative approach to rifle design. Founded in 2021, Kaliber Tech emerged from Maslak’s desire to fill a gap in the market for high-performance semi-automatic rifles. He recognized the need for a rifle that could deliver both speed and accuracy, catering to the needs of modern shooters. This vision culminated in the development of the KT10 Longbow, the first commercially available semi-auto rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC and 300 WSM.
The KT10 Longbow: Setting New Standards
The KT10 Longbow is a revolutionary step in rifle technology. Its design incorporates an AICS-compatible lower and upper, allowing shooters to chamber these powerful short action magnums without sacrificing performance. This innovation provides a maximum Cartridge Overall Length (COAL) of 2.955″, setting a new standard for large-frame ARs.
Precision
Precision is the heart of the KT10 Longbow. Equipped with a properly head-spaced match-grade barrel, this rifle guarantees outstanding accuracy as a standard feature. The magnum chamberings extend the effective range and increase foot-pounds of energy, enabling shooters to achieve superior long-range performance compared to other rifles in its category.
An Exciting New Option
“This is a rifle that I wanted to build for me,” Maslak explains, “I wanted to build a magnum AR for a long time, but I didn’t like the options that were available. The standard AR10 magazine length and durability were a problem. Anyone who attempted to put together a 300 WSM, for example, knows that the magazine is already too short for the longer bullets, and it would bulge when loaded.”
“I wanted to use the 6.5 PRC or 300 WSM ammo, but since I reload my own bullets, they wouldn’t fit in a standard AR10 magazine. With this design, since I use the AICS mags, they fit perfectly. That, along with the magnum chambering and the AR platform, is exactly what I wanted for my own personal AR build.”
Engineered for Excellence
Designed specifically for long-range shooting applications, the KT10 Longbow is engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy and consistency with every shot. Its ability to fire multiple rounds quickly and precisely marries the rapid-fire capability of a semi-auto with the pinpoint accuracy of a bolt action rifle. This unique combination makes it an ideal choice for competitive shooters and hunters alike. “I thought this design was a great idea, and since it worked so well for me, I decided to perfect the design and offer it commercially because I knew others are seeking same type of rifle,” Maslak says.
Precision Redefined
By addressing the challenges faced by long-range shooters, this rifle is providing a solution that combines precision, power, and reliability. The KT10 Longbow is proving to be an ideal choice for a short-action magnum in a large-frame AR. Kaliber Tech will continue to fulfill this niche as it further develops more options in the KT10 platform.
