HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- Recently we got to check out the Foxtrot Mike FM15 16″ upper/rifle but many asked, when can I get a shorter version? Well the time is now, this 12.5 upper is awesome for your pistol or SBR project. 12.5 inch barrel is a great do all length, not too long or too short, plus with this upper no buffer tube is needed. That means you can attach a folding stock or brace of your choice and the the gun can fire folded or extended.
Thanks for watching!

I have a 13.9 pin and weld. I too have a midwest industries folding buffer tube. I added a BAD lever because on this gun I find it necessary. Two classes last year with it, zero issues and no stoppages.
Great job on the review man!!
Awesome video! Thanks so much for making it!
I've got 11.5 inch from aim sports, I've got AR's that cost 2-3 times as much, this is one the flattest shooting guns I have (stock!!)... it's one of my favorites.. Foxtrot Mike really goes above and beyond for any price point especially for what they charge there my first recommendation to someone who needs an AR under $1k... hell for under $800!!! Can't fo wrong
Thanks for the detailed explanation of the system. Foxtrot Mike makes some innovative products. I have two of their AR-9 Uppers, and they've been flawless with every type of ammo with & without a suppressor. Can't wait to get the 12.5" 5.56.
Is the 9mm upper self contained? Like can it fire with the stock folded? He said the 15 was but I can’t find a forsure answer on the 9
No, the buffer is not self contained in the upper receiver, so it works the same as a AR-9. I did buy a Roller Delayed Blowback system for it from Maxim Defense. It's totally badass shooting suppressed.
I love FM15(13.9” Primary Arms)! The Dead KeyMo Muzzle complimented my can. I have a simple stream light with a touch pad on the 12’O clock right in front of my Eotech XPS. I have a Magpul AFG foregrip. FDE rail ladder covers on top and cut to fit in between the Eotech + Magpul front/back MBUIS sights. FDE Magpul SL Stock + FDE BCM pistol grip. Strike Industries MLok Covers on the sides in the 3 & 9’O clock positions. It also has a Magpul MAD Lever(A MUST HAVE) with a PSA skeletonized adjustable trigger and some Anti-Walk Pins + Bar. So far I love the reliability, aesthetics, and folding stock. It replaced my DD MK18 as my primary home rifle. Great review!
I liked it so much I bought a second one!
Just picked up this 12.5" upper from Rainier Arms! Can't wait to inspect, clean, then shoot it soon!
It's like a Dissent, but it came out first, and without CMMG tax or lead times. :)
They need to offer a 10" in 300BLK.
I got this, cmmg is great too.
Not affiliated with FM, just a customer, personally i love my 9inch FM15, in .223W.
Had a small issue and FM fixed it fast and free and friendly.
Just an average guy, military experience in Afghanistan, anf a dad of 3 husband and home owner as i said a basic average guy, and I cant say enough good things about my FM15.
I like it.
dam i really wish i knew about this before i had build my first ar. i wouldve gone with a 13.9 pin and weld. the foldable stock and legal length is everything
Fox Trot Mike really make a Nice AR 15 and AR 9 in the quality of their parts especially their 9 mm bolt carrier or you can get side charging handles Just how you can Choose how the customer wants to design his now Side charging handle charge it in the rear with a ball carrier or like what you have right there those stocks really have blown up especially because wonder folding charging handle you can have that in a very small package if you choose to oh and a person came out and they killed it with last round Bolt Carrier and last round hold open 9 mm AR lower and how nice They’re lower it was with the
Interesting. I have a 12.5 FM-15, upper and lower, and it didn't come with a adjustable gas block. And then the gas block you held up didn't look adjustable. It looked like mine.
Can you do a review on the brigade makasi
Are the barrel dimensions the same as standard ar15? As in could you in theory use the FM15 barrel on an ar15 upper with a standard barrel nut and handguard?
Have you have issue with the gas block getting carbon locked
Make sure if you just get the upper that ur lower isnt equipped with special drop in triggers as it will cause your FM to run Full Auto, so make sure you ONLY use a normal AR trigger in your lower.
Oh no that's terrible
Which triggers specifically so I know to avoid them?
I believe your "old MPX stock" is called the "Kate Moss" stock. Very desired but not available anymore. Pretty sure they're worth well more than you probably paid for it at this point.
what is the caliber of ammunition that it's chambered for?
Does anyone know if the CMMG 22LR bravo conversion kit will work within the FM-15?
Do they make a pinned and welded 14 inch to avoid SBR? Or, at least, a 16 inch?
I have a 13.9 pin and weld. From Primary Arms.
They make both a 13.9" for pin and weld, plus an 16" standard barrel.
@@chadfurtney3019 what’s the link or name
Is this considered an arp? Thinking bout getting one as a gift to myself after me and my girlfriend buy our first house.
Is the barrel proprietary? that seems to be the hardest question to be answered
It is.
Sure do; Unregistered
per ATF's new rule
Is that size upper considered a pistol ?
Yep
do they make a big that works with standard upper. i have no desire to retrain to a forward charging handle. and so far none of the short bcgs have good enough reliability
You might be looking for a MCX
@@GunsandTactics the problem with those is how expensive they are, but I do guess the saying you get what you pay for sometimes is true
@@calebdavis3110 get the new Midwest alpha stock! You can’t go wrong! I got a 13.9 pined and welded and it’s the best stock I own and well worth the 225.
Bought the FM 12.5 upper. I could not get the charging handle out to swap to right side (even took the set screw all the way out), couldn't budge it, all I did when I tried to tap it out was scratch my brand new upper. Mated the upper with a Sharps Brothers lower, and noted lots of play. ( other uppers were very snug on this lower). I will say the machining looks nice, and this is a nice light firearm being almost a pound lighter than my Gieslie super duty 11.5 . Will have to see if function and performance make up for the initial disapointments. YMMV
They put two set screws on the charging handle so the first one is to keep dirt and debris out of the threads.
@@todnedowas gonna say this. Was a bit annoying, because the included manual only mentioned a single set screw. I fought it for a whole evening before I got a reply back from FM via e-mail. Should be a FAQ on their website, but it isn’t.
Don't they make this in 300blk ?
Does that come with the bolt carrier?
Compete upper
@@GunsandTactics thank you.
The fact that you have retainer pins that need to be changed every 3k rounds. No thanks
