M10X Report 2,000+ Rounds

a type81 will always be more reliable and rugged, seems like. If it's not that much more accurate, the only draw I can see for these are ergonomics and ease of mounting accessories. I'll stick with my commie gun
 
Priced out an M10x Gen 3 Plus with the OEM 16.5" long, chrome lined, HFB at $2500, which is CZ Bren territory.
I'm back on the fence over going with a Gen. 2 with upgraded internals or just sticking with my T81.

Skip mpags, those are pinned too tight. Get the Bulgarian poly mags instead. Those work amazing and fit 5.5rnds in them

It all depends who pins the mags. Obviously the Canadian distributor does not have a clue. Go with IRG, they probably pinned more mags than anybody and the guys/girls in Arizona are doing and excellent job.

True, but for the time to import ans get them etc.. easy enough to grab the bulgy magsfor same if not less and have steel reinforced lips/tabs

Are you able to check it out in store? The 3rd Gen Plus handguard is a bit nicer, but not $700-$800 nicer in my view and with the upgraded internals felt as smooth an action as the Gen 3 Plus.

I strongly caution you to try the actions on both rifles before you buy, if at all possible. You will feel for yourself the difference between the new Milled Receiver and the older Gen 2 cast receiver. The latter is quite gritty and rough as compared to the Gen 3's fully-machined Receiver, which is extremely smooth. Smoother even than my Galils, Valmet, AKMS, etc. The only AK/SIG550 action that I have which is smoother is my SwissArms PE90, and that is saying something!

I am at approximately 550 rounds and still only the 1 failure to eject, mostl likely due to ammo (eg. a short load of powder). My Gen 3 is running like a champ!

Don't underestimate the importance of good ergonomics to the overall shooting experience. The M10X is a pleasure to hold and fire. It "fits" the shooter well and the fully ambi controls fall readily to hand. The ease with which optics and other accessories can be mounted is a definite bonus as well. Then there is the superior trigger of the M10X, which combined with iron sights of the shooter's choosing, definitely elevates the overal shootiing experience. The M10X is extremely solid - no rattles, no loose parts. It is a chunky rifle, but not overly so with the weight helping to soak up the already manageable7.62x39mm recoil. It runs very clean, with all of the firing carbon contained in the Gas Block and Tube, away from the action itself. I could go on, but the benefits of the M10X are both many and tangible. The whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

$2500 is nowhere near CZ Bren 2 territory. Those sell for $2500 USD, which equates to $3440 CAD. So a full $1000 more than the newest Gen 3 M10X, either NR with a button-rifled 18.5" tube or Restricted with the 16" CHF Barrel. You can add another $1000 CAD if you want a CZ rebarrel to NR status, whereas the M10X is the same price whether Restricted or Non.

I don't know if they upgraded the receiver, lubed it up good, polished some surfaces (or maybe I'm a fool) but the Gen 2s CSC is selling with the Gen 3 guts is very smooth. Unfortunately I cannot compare it to a Galil, Valmet, or AKMS...
 
I bought a bunch of those metal magazines Irunguns brought in a while back. Made somewhere in Eastern Europe. They were cheap and work perfect in my SKS-D. I had to do a little of filing to make them sit properly but that was easy.

Yeah, I had them on the counter side by each and I was fingering them pretty good going back and forth. Action and trigger were a wash between the two.
The counter guy wouldn't let me do a tear down as that is typical store policy - maybe I need to bug J, J or M

Not really confirmed by the guy above who handled both versions.
 
I'd hand load for the CZ if I got one, but yeah that is another thing to factor.
Brass cased 7.62x39 is generally more expensive than .223/5.56, either as factory ammo or hand loads
