AIA M-10 infomation
I read many shooting magazines from around the world and I came across this advertisement in an Australian magazine. It shows what must to be the current AIA M-10 range being produced.
I scanned it into the computer. Click the image below to enlarge it.
Australian International Arms (AIA) calls the M-10 the the 5th generation Lee-Enfield, read more about it here.
I fired up Skype and actually tried calling one of the Australian companies at the bottom of the advert to see if I could get any more information about the rifles. Unfortunately after trying two numbers I realized my rough timezone calculations were a bit off. Checking a timezone website confirmed this!
It is a pity they do not offer the 7.62×39 version anymore. Not at all practical but a 30 round AK-47 magazine on a bolt action rifle would be … unique! Although the special edition M10-B3 that has a M134 mini-gun barrel is very cool
I have no new information about their availability in the US.

Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
Mmmmm…Enfields
Gotta get me one of them!
I just picked my B1 up from the gun shop. Can’t wait to take it out to the range to play. I bought this rifle as my SHTF / TEOTWAWKI go to gun. Sure I’m not going to be able to wage a one man war but it’s a 303 action. It’s going to work rain, hail or shine. Yep it’s not a tack driver but it’s going to take a liking and keep on ticking. Agree - a bloke with a AK and ten 30 round mags will out shoot me but I don’t intend on sticking around.
Nope. This baby is going to do what I want. That is work in all situations. That’s right. It’s not the most accurate. Sure aint the lightest.
I do wish that it had a bayonet lug though….
Hi Justin_case, If you get the chance could you send me some photos of your new rifle for me to post on the blog. Some close ups would be great. My email address is on the left hand side bar at the top.
I have one of these here in oz, good solid rifle which spends a lot of time in the ute (pick up for our friends in the US of A,
) getting dusty. they are available in just about every gun shop iv’e seen here. I’ve been told the M14 mag fits them if your after more capacity. I dont think supply would be a problem unless the importers are letting you down. there is no waiting list here and they are proving to be a popular rifle.
FYI and my .02 cents worth
Hi Jim. Thanks for your comment. I did not realize they used M14 magazines!
Hi folks
Nice to me myself, my gun and my deer here. More info on my experience with M10:

Cheers

BWT M14 mags wont fit M10 - different feeding angle.
My Father bought my brother a priceless mint condition World War 2 Era M10 No4 MK4. Awesome rifle. I never fired that one, but my dad bought me a World War 1 British rifle equipped with its original everything except its bolt. It even had its original bayonet.
I have bought a m14 mag and mine fits perfectly dunno why it wont fit yours v1
hi probably I did not try hard enough
All semiauto mags are limited to 5 rds here in Canada so I gave up after the first jam
