My tax return came early so I decided to treat myself to a SHTF weapon. I went into my local gun shop (Lock and Load in Henderson, NV) and spoke to Jerry. I looked at a couple AR's and inquired about Arsenal AK's. He was fresh out of Arsenal's but he showed me a new brand of AK he had just gotten in. It was railed out with an RPK sight and devilish looking muzzle brake. When Jerry told me it only cost $625 I bought it immediately. The M&M M10/762 is a rifle made by FA Cugil in Romania. It is assembled from new parts (with matching numbers) and features a chromed barrel and gastube. It is accuracy tested at the factory. It starts off its life as a rifle not being able to accept double stack mags. Once it arrives in the US it is fitted with 922r compliant parts and the magazine well is worked on to accept a double stack mag. This is done by computer and not by some yahoo with a dremel. My rating of the weapon is as follows.

Shooting characteristics (Accuracy and Reliability) - 4.5/5 - Though I only put 20 rounds through it, the weapon functioned flawlessly with the stock promag it came with. The Tapco G2 trigger it is fitted with stock was crisp and short. Before I shot the rifle I cleaned it and lubed it - I had to no issues what so ever on the range. I would put this weapon against any other stamped AK in the areas of accuracy and reliability.

Fit and Finish - 3.5/5 - The weapon wears a black finish that seems to scratch easily. There were some scratches on it right out of the box. Also the quad rail seems to canted slightly when you are looking down the sights. The sights however fit perfectly. There was slight mag wobble with the stock Promag but barely any with steel mags I bought. If the rail was straight and the weapon wore a tougher finish, I would rate 5/5. Honestly though, the fit and finish doesn't bother me too much. This is an AK, not a safe queen. This weapon is designed to be dragged through the mud and come out breathing fire. If this was an AR or a hunting rifle, I would be pissed at the F&F and probably rate 2/5; luckily though, it's not.

Value - 5/5 - I know of no other AK type rifle that you can get from the factory with this many features and perks. Quad rail, Tapco G2 Trigger, Tapco Brake, Tapco Stock, Hogue Grips, RPK sights, Chromed barrel and gastube. C'mon this gun is a hell of a value,

Total score = 4.3

Hey thanks a lot man. It was my first gun review; thanks for reading. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with one. You'll love it!

That was great & honest review the M10 seems to be another nice AK offering while not 100% perfect they are a great value for the money.

I think one of these with the Tech-Sights AK rear sight would be an awesome irons only rifle. It may have Romanian ugly, but it also seems to have Romanian value and

reliability. A great poor man's Galil.

I personally favor Mojo sights. Even though it doesn't increase sight radius, it is a much more solid mount that won't get knocked around plus is a much lower profile.

I just picked up a m10 today, nice rifle for the money. The OP is dead on with his evaluation. I'll try to put 500rds thru it this weekend and see if it shoots any better than my WASRs.

Love mine!

its a WASR dressed up with UTG rails and a draco gas system/FSB. all for about a hundred or so more. no fucking thanks

These are a good value because it's completely new, assembled by the Romanians, and so far built right.

Mine runs great. Of course I changed all the furniture....almost everyone changes the furniture on their rifles be it an AK or AR.

Are the mag wells "hogged" out, that is, do they begin life as single stacks?

In any case, what mags seem to fit the best in the M10?

Thanks everyone

The mag wells are stamped out by machine and not by hand with a dremmel so the magwellz are all cut the same. Instead of dimples they have welded shims inside the magwell to keep the mags tight.
The benefit to these rifles is the features versus price. You are getting a hammer forged chrome lined barrel, rail forensic, g2 trigger, etc all for the price of a standard wasr.
No its not a $1200 arsenal but it sure as hell shoots like one.

not sure, what your sayin about the stamped part, but heres a pic of the magwell from my m10


i have 2 chinese steel mags and no problems, i have some unmarked steel mags and no problmes, even my chinese 75round drum mag works fine

I love mine. Bulgarian waffle and chugo mags lock on solid. The waffle mag did stick at first but did wear in after about ten mag changes. The chugo mags form aimsurplus fit great but one out of 7 had to have the rear tab filed down. Zero mag wobblewith either type. The flash hider was a bitch to get off and the finish sucks. Other than that it has been a solid rifle. I had seen somewhere that the mag well is opened up on a CNC machine.
