When I saw this rifle, I had to buy it. It's built by FA Cugir in Romania, has a chrome-lined bore/chamber/gas block, and RPK adjustable rear sights (not sure they are needed). The barrel is cold-hammer forged. Some might dismiss this rifle by calling it a fancy WASR, but personally, every WASR that I have ever shot functioned flawlessly and was built like a tank. Overall, the M10-762 is very sturdy and well-put-together. I have been pleased with all of my previous Romarm/Cugir rifles and this on continues that trend.
Current Setup:
Original Configuration:
Before I bought the rifle, I had the furniture that I was going to buy all planned out, but after receiving it, I've changed those plans a bit. I was sure that the forend was going to be junk, but in fact, I quite like it and have no plans on replacing it. It is very solid seems to be well-made.
Conversely, the Tapco mag and buttstock are an absolute joke. I've not bought a Tapco product up to this point (as far as I know) and will make sure that I never do... unless they really improve the quality of their products. The Tapco mag will actually come out of the mag well when pulled rearward. The front lip is practically non-existent. All of my steel mags fit nice and snug, with a scant amount of wobble in any direction. I actually called COgunsales to complain about the Tapco mag and they told me that they had been receiving numerous complaints from their vendors regarding the Tapco mags. I expected it to end there, but the guy said that they would have a Bulgarian 30-rounder in the mail for me ASAP. He also said they were in the process if ditching the Tapco mags and switching over to the Bulgarian.
The Tapco buttstock feels like something that was pulled straight from a children's toy and installed on the M10. Photos do not do this Tapco stock justice. I like the feel of the Hogue grip, but do not like how it looks on my rifle and probably end up going with a Mako grip.
Anyway, I swapped out the junk Tapco buttstock for the Mako side-folding buttstock. The Mako stock can be configured to fold to either side and has an adjustable cheek riser. It fits snug and has no play. I really like the Mako stock and In my opinion, it is currently the best AK buttstock on the market.
I went with the BP-02 side mount and topped it off with a Swift 3-9x40... will probably go with another scope, but that's all I have for now.
I am really looking forward to shooting this rifle. Quite a few are claiming 2 MOA. If I can get that I will be quite pleased and extremely happy that I passed on an Arsenal. I will definitely post my range results after I get a chance to shoot it. Lastly, I have benefited a great deal from many of reviews on here and figured that I would try to contribute.
