Hell yeah. Just looking out in case it’s someone new

Better watch out with that, someone might shoot your dog

What differentiates this from something like the phantom pup?

Also does it require a buffer less upper?

Assuming rails are SCS?

If so I’ll wait till the drop and get it all at once

Any rough idea when the drop will be?

Have my parts coming in for my pwc-9 build. Will there be any changes required for the collapsing brace to any of the main files?

AFAIK there are no FRT for the original Mac form factor, is this true here too?

Excellent! Great work and they look great

Have you had any failures on the pwc9 yet? I know the question of filament/skill/printer etc is always a topic. Any failure mode to look out for?

I might be looking for a sister for my alloy soonish.

For the either (but more focused on the 9mm) what’s the estimated longevity on these? I know the DB alloy had the side plates for some longevity improvements.

Also for packability how does this compare to a DB alloy size wise?

I think it hits that perfect sweet spot of Glock gen 3 compatible and the FCU

Do you have a source for tx22 lpk?

Yeah wouldn’t be too hard. I’m gonna do one for the minivader.

Question on the Button

Does the M4x20 thread into the button itself? Then it reciprocates with the button being pressed?

Following up here for future people maybe.

Issue was resolved with an extractor, spring and bushing replacement

For those with an FM-15. The FM-15 gen 2 as of 2025 no longer uses a proprietary extractor pin.

Use standard, FA rated extractor, spring and pin (and rubber bushings)

No need to buy from FM or change the firing pin as on the early gen 2 models

This was confirmed by FM support

Also found this one, since it is bolt on it may be easy to incorporate.

Going to try my hand at an update for the minvader brace with it. https://a3industries.com/polymer-steady-brace-pistol-stabilizing-brace/

I can give her the old college try, should be straightforward

Would it be possible to do a blade style buffer tube adapter? I’ve seen some online, basically think it cuts the thickness down to just the indexing rail on the bottom. Would keep it really thin.

Somewhere in the ballpark of 500-800 rounds.

I stripped it cleaned it, checked for loose gas key, checked the gas block for alignment and being fully open, confirmed those are all good.

Checked springs and guide rod, those are good too.

Confirmed extractor pin was not broken, I did go ahead and swap the extractor with another FM one.

New extractor has really positive grab on the case, and flicks the round out well both handheld and cycling the action. Significantly harder to install due to spring pressure.

Have had a pretty wide range of mags through it, multiple pmag 30 and 20 round mags which are known good from other rifles.

Are you thinking the tailhook style brace (maybe purchased) is going to be the way to go with the current state of the way braces are being enforced?

Hey! As the poster of the project, great job putting this together for a reasonable price (some dude before was trying to charge $60 a pack).

I’ve gotten reports well into the hundreds on these builds, and have not yet had a failure or heard of a failure.
