The M10X-M redefines the 7.62×39 platform by blending robust AK traits with modern features. It is engineered and manufactured in the USA, built around a full 4140 carbon-steel milled receiver, ion-gas nitrided for wear resistance, and paired with a stamped stainless lower ([turn0search0]).
At its heart is a 16.5″ 4150 nitride-treated barrel (1:9.45″ twist), threaded 5/8×24 RH to fit common muzzle devices and suppressors ([turn0search0]). The action employs a long-stroke gas piston with adjustable gas valve, a rotating bolt, and ambidextrous controls, giving low recoil, smooth operation, and flexibility for suppressed use ([turn0search0]).
Its flat dark earth Cerakote finish protects aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum handguards and other metal parts from corrosion and wear ([turn0search0]). The rifle comes equipped with a Magpul Zhukov-S side-folding stock, monolithic Picatinny top rail, M-LOK slots at 3/6/9 o’clock, and three QD sling points ([turn0search0]).
