1. There is no way the charging handle can come out on the Gen 2, unless it’s not properly installed.
2. Gen 2’s only ship with pmags.
3. Bolt hold open mags are known to cause issue with the m10x.
Makes me a bit skeptical of the rest of the review.
Is it an older rifle?
I owned one and never had the barrel shift issue.
Using pmags and Barnaul the rifle functioned flawlessly. It ran poorly with Chinese surplus and steel mags.
Sold it, with full disclosure, because I wanted to shoot cheap ammo. I’ve got plenty of rifles to shoot .70 cent rounds out of.
Once I found the secret recipe of pmags and newly manufactured Russian ammo, it ran like a top - not a single malfunction in maybe 300 rounds.
It’s amazing the different reviews on this rifle tho. Everyone’s millage seems to very.
