No problems with mine. Although not too many rounds through it.

I had it in my hands at TACCOM 2022 and I can say that this particular model is as light as the 12" restricted version with the short handguard.
They just didn't put a cerakote and a milled long handguard on it, they also upgraded the hammer spring to an "AK" style one and it has all the 3rd gen components in it.
I also spoke with a guy I think was from M+M and he told me that regular M10X is more sensitive with chinese surplus ammo since most of it is loaded hot and slams the bolt back so hard the hammer don't have time to catch on but shouldn't have any problems with comm block surplus, Barnhaul or US made brass cased ammo. he told me that this particular model has some more holes on the gas block to fine tune to the type of ammo you are shooting so it could be possible to actually have it function with less gas to compensate for the overpowered chinese surplus ammo.
I will be in the market for one of these if I could find one ... don't care about the reviews, I'll make my own idea when I get it.
I would totally buy this if it had an AK safety
Also while we’re on the subject, does anyone know where I can find an AK safety for my wk180
