This limited-production upper receiver from Foxtrot Mike comes built with the bare necessities for an AR-15 pattern upper receiver that will spend most of its life shooting with a suppressor. This includes a longer, rifle-length gas tube with a gas port sized to reduce back pressure and recoil when shooting with a suppressor.
To keep costs down, Foxtrot Mike is not shipping these receivers with muzzle devices, bolt carrier groups or charging handles, with the idea that customers will provide their own parts that fit their specific needs. This is especially true of muzzle devices, as they’re crucial to the successful mounting of any suppressor and can get quite specific depending on size and silencer make and model.
