M+M CEO Considered Pulling M10X Rifle From Canada After Brouhaha - CDN Gun Blog

Nobody 'hates' the rifle but rather the greasy antics. The smug attitude of M10x 'lovers' is rich, however. It's also quite daring for a design that could also be the shyts. Not that they'd admit it.

FWIW - I had a chance to shoot this rifle during my last trip to Houston. It was ok and didn't really stand out to me - the biggest advantage over a comblock rifle being the uninterrupted top rail. Also, the stamped metal lower feels very cheap in person.

Edit: The one thing that was interesting is that we had to keep letting the barrel cool after each magazine as it heated up really quick and was then getting erratic. The hot texas sun may have had something to do with the overheating, but now, on reflection, I find it odd that the ARs and the SCAR were fine.

Interesting points. Do you think it's still worth the price tag up here?

It is a 12 (3) Converted Auto, brought into Canada in the 1980s. The story goes that it was a Israeli capture gun destined for the PLO ( hence the mint condition), that was sold as surplus to SIDEM Company in the UK for conversion and resale in Canada pre-C68 and C-15. It was a great shooter back in the day...."sigh"......

Very cool!
Im not familiar with the acceptable standards back in the day to convert one of these from full to semi, but i would assume that the auto sear (with its' axis) would need to be removed? Or did they just take a file to the disconnector and call it a day?

Sorry, but I am not going to get into irreversible conversion standards and techniques on here for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the potential to run afoul of the lab-rats and have my rifle hauled in for a years-long "technical compliance inspection". Not gonna happen. Let's just say that some things have been removed and others have had "offending" bits ground off. All rendered irreversible through some very discrete welding. Use your imagination and you probably won't be far off.

Nothing more to add to this topic but just dropped in to admire your goddamn ###y rifle again. Well done good sir!
 
I came late into this debacle. As far as I'm concerned they are free to pull their lineup. I have no interest in supporting them. They tried to screw us. Really unfortunate because I was actually getting quite excited about this gun, but the new pricing which is a ripoff, and the principle that the company I'm buying from thinks that little of me to be that much of a ####, they can keep it.

Absolutely not. It was fairly priced initially, then the company arbitrarily upped the price because you live under the maple flag you can pay extra.

Me too! I can't shoot my AKMS any more, so this will be it's new replacement. I decided to ignore the M+M haters a while back, and so far that strategy in concert with judicious use of the "Ignore" button has worked well. Based on all the universally positive reviews, I am quite looking forward to this as my new 7.62x39mm launcher. If the M10X is a turkey I will be the first to say so. However I very much doubt that such will let be the case. The design coupled with US manufacturing makes for an intriguing new addition to the Black/Green/Red/FDE rifle options for Canadian enthusiasts. Hopefully ramped up production will allow an early 2018 launch into Canadian hands, but time will tell. At least the initial buy-in for the pre-sale is only $200 and not the full retail price like some other rifles.
 
Wow too much whinging and #####ing here. Another CGN thread based on conjecture and rumours with out the actually facts. Everything is based on speculation and you wonder why US manufactures don't want to deal with Canada. Is it worth the head ache and logistics for the handful of rifles that the Canadian market will sell? I literally mean handful because the few rifles that will be sold up here are just going to be a blip on their bottom line. Factor in the extra time, labour and extra wages for exporting is it really worth doing? Some people within the Canadian gun community have this stupid sense of entitlement. It reminds me once when I was taking to the Dept. Head at the US State Dept. He said you should be damn lucky you have anything to shoot because we don't have send you anything. Which in realty is true. No one has to deal with the Canadian market. The manufactures choose to. They can alway say no. So I don't know why you guys are sh!tting on manufacture when he is trying to support the Canadian gun community. It is a real pain in the a$$ to deal with Canadian and the rewards don't out weigh the benefits. The Remington General manager gave the best description of the Canadian market. He said that the smallest US state sells more Remington firearms than all of Canada. He said do we have to deal with Canada, no. Does it effect our bottomline, no. We choose to deal with Canada because they want to create a global brand. So when a manufacture wants to bring something to the Canadian market in a way you should be grateful. I don't know why everyone starts these bashing threads.
