Read the fine print! Problems with the FoxTrot Mike 102 AR15?

Whole thing just seems pointless. Not an improvement on anything. No desirable new variation.

We just had to respond to folks shooting in dead grass who started a wildland fire.

Mow your field

Trying to be an individual in shtf With a non Mil-spec. gun isn't a good idea.

Is this a Gen1? The Gen2 docs say the same thing about the pin, but “The FM-15 Gen 2 firing pin & reset spring are compatible with all mil-spec M16/M4 pattern bolts”

I really like the FM ideas, but I have seen numerous reports of issues. I don't want to invest my money (which is hard to come by at the moment) into something that doesn't hold value long-term

Nope. I have a few AR's and a few BRN-180's. Thought about FMs in the past, but the weird proprietary nature of the guns and the many references to poor QC are a deal breaker. Good video Tim, thanks.

Me: get a Colt 6920

Them: I want a special snowflake gun to be cool at the range.

Me: you'll be as sorry as a guntuber when you break stuff.

American Federation of Teachers? Is Tim's wife a public school teacher?

I built and SBR'd a lower which I intended to get a 12.5 inch ARAK21 upper from Faxon Firearms. They since stopped making them. The only company that I found that made a 12.5 inch self contained upper was Foxtrot Mike. Would have preferred a Jakl upper or definitely a Virtus upper. But none available with a 12.5 inch barrel. I wanted to stay with the 12.5 inch instead of sending the AFT a letter to edit my stamp. So I'm stuck with the FM15 upper for now. Haven't shot it yet.

But…why?

What sight is that?

That's such a weird angle, you didn't mention the single source parts issues in any other combat rifle reviews I've seen. Why being it up here? Is it because it looks like an AR? That's valid, and there may be some who but one not knowing, but you should emphasize that, instead of discouraging any innovation or deviation from an AR.

Welcome to the club. After your original review of the rifle I went to their web site and was totally confused.

Meh, I'll just stick with plain old boring AR 15s and Glock 19s.

Well, someone has to do the job to show how not to design guns

For $850 to $899 people can buy this 💩 and that’s not included with tax so at least $1,000 , for that price point go for a low end daniel defense or better yet a Smith and Wesson AR5 . The market as a whole should just come together and black list this territory designed rifle .

What a dumpster fire of engineering. "This wheel ain't round enough." Solutions looking for problems and creating more problems.

And they call me boring for sticking to standard AR's and AK's. Checkmate, nerds. Good luck finding parts for you Hibbity Bibbity 5000

That gun is probably going to flop. I know I want be getting one.

Bro its not that hard after doing it one time lol

Thank you I was Just looking into a FoxTrot AR15.

Jeeze. Fighting with that recoil spring gave me flashbacks to my Walther P22. I freaking hated that gun bc it was so dang hard to get back together. They even included some stupid plastic dowel rod to help the spring from kinking. Why companies choose to include parts to make up for poor designs instead of just building a better gun is beyond me.

Paper plate targets!

If my rifle needs more maintenance then my car then you can absolutely count me out lmao thats the dumbest rifle I've ever seen

Apart from all the problems and issues mentioned, how was the rifle?

AR15 the DBAG of firearms 😂😂

This rifle seems like it's made out of buzzwords. smells very "a product to sell to consumers and nothing more"

Tim this gun is a piece of SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and we work on alll of them. Thanks and stay safe..
T

So for the average Joe it's a garbage rod

It is lost on me why with such great offerings like Daniel Defense or BCM that you would buy a rifle like this from a no name company chulk full of proprietary parts

I would rather have a brn180, a psa jackl, mcx, or a bren 2.
