The M10X Elite is fully engineered and manufactured in the United States by the fine folks at M+M Firearms. It utilizes AK mags and is basically built on an AK platform but to simply call this another AK rifle would do a tremendous disservice to the rifle. This rifle borrows some of the best features of the AK-47, AR-15, FN-FAL, Israeli Galil, etc. into one very special and precision made rifle. The rifle accepts all AK-47 magazines regardless of manufacture or country of origin. Less obvious features to the new M10X™ Magpul Zhukov™-S are Semi-automatic rotating bolt long-stroke gas piston-driven system, a proven design used in the most reliable self-loading firearms in the history. The floated barrel is the result of floated joint at gas cylinder and gas block. Relieving tension on the barrel improves accuracy on almost any firearm. Three-position adjustable gas valve (including “off” position) facilitates reliable functioning in the harshest environments with a wide array of ammunition or allows the rifle to be manually cycled. Recoil spring has been eliminated and its function integrated into piston return spring. Plunger-style ejector assures even ejection pattern regardless of rounds used. Reduced-mass piston reduces weight Single unit integrated upper receiver eliminates guide rail rivets, and allows for stronger, stiffer guide rails to be used, reducing a point of failure, and enhancing the accuracy of the rifle. Proprietary recoil reducing compensator Designed to reduce recoil and helps to control muzzle climb in rapid firing. Hinged lower receiver opens like an AR for ease of cleaning and repair, whether at home or in the field.

Ambidextrous charging handle accommodates both left and right-handed shooters and special circumstances created by specialty add-on equipment. Ambidextrous safety switch for both left and right-handed fire. Corrosion-resistant components ensure functionality even under the harshest conditions and preserve the value of the firearm. Mil-Spec Type III anodized coating to protect the aluminum extruded outer components, flat black to avoid glare. The M10X™ maintains the distinctive silhouette as well as legendary reliability proven on our M10™ rifle, with a distinctively modern, extruded aluminum chassis. The simplicity of the innovative design allows M+M to produce a superior rifle while retaining is affordability for M10™ enthusiasts. The rifle is 100% engineered and manufactured in the United States. The finish on this rifle is impeccable. There is no comparison to your standard $600 AK47. Don’t believe me, find someone who sells it and go look at it and hold it for yourself. Is it worth the cost That depends on you and your budget. I personally think the rifle meets the price point and then some. And I think the reviews to come from professionals in the field will back up my claim. The 7.62x39 is a beautiful round and one of the cheapest to get on the market. Now I have all the benefits of a well finished accurate AR with the added benefit of shooting the 7.62x39."
