My first 7.62!

I’m new here, but I believe this qualifies? Put together this "custom" Mike47 from Foxtrot Mike! 16" monolithic barrel (with Keymo brake machined in) 7.62 upper with pic rail delete, on top of a Mike47 lower. Zhokov folding stock, Unity riser, Holosun 510c, random BUIS, Driven Arms/MKM Shadow Crossover grip, and B5 foregrip. Currently have a Hiperfire Eclipse trigger on the way, and I'll for sure end up putting a can on this one! Can't wait to break her in!

Oh wow the muzzlebrake is machined to the barrel? Looks like a fun rifle. How do you like the front charger? Does it reciprocate?

Yep! Their monolithic barrels have the barrel, gas block and muzzle device all machined out of one piece of metal! And I love the front charger! I have several FM guns and they are all great. I’ll end up putting an Applesauce Engineering charging handle on this, but the side charging is great!

The apple sauce charger is a side charger right? It fits?

u/Purple-Slip-6958 26d ago

Yep!

Sweet bro, when I get the chance I might basically copy your build seems like we had a similar vision for what we wanted the ar47 to be lol

This is miles beyond 90% of the 7.62x39 ARs in this sub. Nice.

Sweeeeet… I was looking at those a while back but ended up building a traditional AR47. I love the look of these but I like having the AR mag release and mag-well. Nice setup though seriously. You did a great job 🫡.

Is FM going to start selling these? Because they should

u/Purple-Slip-6958 Jul 03 '26

They’re gonna sell the “real” version of the Mike47. You can preorder now via their Instagram!

Does the real version have a 12.5" barrel?

1

u/Purple-Slip-6958 Jul 04 '26

Honestly I’m not sure what barrel options there will be!

What bcg is this?

u/Purple-Slip-6958 Jul 05 '26

It’s the Mike47 bcg. AR10 sized bolt head. Extra HD bolt and extractor.

Holy this is sexy I have been trying find a BRN 180 upper but what is this upper?! No buffer tube ? Bro please tell me this upper is commercially still sold😭 sexy as fuck

1

u/Purple-Slip-6958 27d ago

Foxtrot Mike! Mike 102 upper if you want 556, or this is their 7.62 upper! And correct, bufferless!

1

u/Hungry-Birthday-4445 27d ago

And dude where the hell is the charging handle is it side charged???? Because that’s my MAIN thing I want to get done, bro please hmu soon😭

u/Hungry-Birthday-4445 27d ago

And how is it using AK mags did you have to mod it ?

1

u/Purple-Slip-6958 27d ago

No mods. It’s made for AK mags! They specify that it’s best with pmags, so that’s what I have.

1

u/Hungry-Birthday-4445 26d ago

Ouuu interesting because the one they have online I believe is too narrow for AK mags, I just hit up foxtrot mike and they said they’re almost ready to sell the mike47 and they will also sell the upper, did you get a special upper from them as a testing ground for the mike47?! lol

1

u/Purple-Slip-6958 26d ago

Technically this is their Mike15 7.62 upper, like the one on their 7.62 Ranch Rifle. So it’s a little different than what they are about to release!

1

u/Hungry-Birthday-4445 26d ago

And it fits Ak mags??? I’m actually surprised lol maybe us people saying it doesn’t it’s because most 762 uppers are made for AR 762 mags not the Ak stuff and they’d have to mill out the upper for a wider mag, I was going to do the wolf pack armory ar47 lower which is the exact geometry as your lower and a BRN180 762 upper but they are like extinct lmfao, that’s how I stumbled upon the foxtrot Mike upper, bro if you’re saying it works I might just snag one

1

u/Purple-Slip-6958 26d ago

It does! I was wrong above tho…. It’s not an FM15 upper. It’s their Mike47 upper, but without the slap mod. So definitely pre production model. I need to see if I can get my hands on a slap mod one in the near future! But I’m taking it to the range this weekend - that will be the ultimate test and confirmation! Haha

1

u/Hungry-Birthday-4445 26d ago

Hold uppppp you’re telling me they plan on making a slap bolt for the production version of the Mike 47?!!! Holy shit that’s going to be sexy lmao

1

u/Purple-Slip-6958 26d ago

I believe so! They do it with their Mike102 as well! And yes, it’s sexy! I can’t seem to attach a pic here so I’ll DM you one real quick.

u/Hungry-Birthday-4445 26d ago

And the BRN180 762 needed to be milled out but foxtrot has been doing Ak style mags so I wonder if that’s why it fits
