300blk builder kit on an Ambi lower with ARC-Fire

300blk builder kit on an Ambi lower with ARC-Fire

Few Questions:

  1. Any issues with an ambi lower on the FM-15 upper?
  2. Any issues with the AS Design Arc-Fire FRTs on the FM-15 upper?
  3. Planning to build it as a suppressed 300blk, anyone had success with a cheap gas block or should I just get an AGB?
  4. Anyone know the interior dimension of the handguard? Wondering how short I can run the barrel with a Nomad-L tucked. I can also put a smaller 30 can on it.

Planned build list ($875 for the base parts, ~$1450 for the ergos/optics):

  • FM-15 Upper Build Kit - $360
  • Faxon 7.5" Gunner 300 BLK - $125
  • SilencerCo SCO-15 Ambi Lower - $220
  • AS Designs ARC-Fire FRT Trigger Kit - $130

  • Plan B A2 mount and Nomad-L or a new dedicated can - $1000

Advice/Help for new AR9 Build

Apologies in advance for dumb questions. I've been reading a lot on the recommended resources (blowback9, etc), and Foxtrot Mike products have come up time and time again as great starting points for both lower and upper receivers. It seems they have current sales on both complete builds and the respective lower/upper receivers. I was looking to do a shorter barrel build (<7") and eventually suppress down the road. It seems the price difference between a complete build and assembling the two completed components are roughly the same? I am a tinkerer at heart so I would enjoy that aspect? (Should I start with a stripped lower receiver and get more granular with it?) Any recommendations, directions, or advice for someone new? I'm open to any advice!

Parts considering:

Upper Receiver:

FM PRODUCTS VFM-9 5'' DUAL CHARGE UPPER - ~$225

Lower Receiver:

FM PRODUCTS MIKE-9 AMBI COMPLETE LOWER W/ RMB (RECOIL MITIGATION BUFFER) AND A5 TUBE - ~$322

Assembled:

FM PRODUCTS MIKE9 AMBI 5'' REAR CHARGE PISTOL W/ RMB AND BRACE - ~$581

Joined the crew

Finally came in. Mike-9. 7” with RMB. Took 12 days from order to my FFL. They had it for 10 days cause they are so busy. No big deal. Glad to have it home!

Just threw my .22LR Vortex crossfire on it for now. Not totally sold on the camo wrap.

Putting some through it on Saturday and can’t wait!

Thanks for having me.

FM15 in 7.62x39

They just dropped the FM15 upper in 7.62x39. This fits all normal AR15 lowers and the Ranch Rifle so it is not the FM47 upper to go with the FM47 lower they already sell. Hopefully this is an indication the FM47 upper/full firearms will come to the website soon.

Shipping times

I have an order from 3/28 with no shipping notification or tracking numbers, it has been 18 business days. Anyone else experienced longer than normal wait times?

Remove wiggle in pistol brace?

Any suggestions to remove the wiggle between the pistol brace and the buffer tube?
