They started out testing many brands and ended up finding out that Tula steel case, PMC and Winchester White Box ammunition worked the best and surprisingly were the most inexpensive. They also wanted a product that would feed the most popular (and inexpensive) brands of 9mm 115 grain ammunition being produced. The design team then worked over 80 hours a week from February to the first of September of 2015 working out any bugs and making sure that they had a product that was perfectly reliable. Production milling machines, lathes and other machines were ordered and were received and set in place in February of 2015. Once the initial concept was proven they acquired a 10,000 square foot building to turn into their production facility. Within a few months the designers had some handmade links and the first 3 shots were fired in one of their backyards. The Freedom Ordnance FM-9 started life as an idea, a 3-D printer and a Tormach CNC Milling machine. Not only that, the entire unit sells for about the price of a high quality AR style gun. round price, this is a unit that you can afford to go have fun with.
With some 9mm ammunition priced at or slightly below the $200. It is a drop-in, no gunsmithing unit that allows your mil-spec AR or M-16 to fire disintegrating metal-linked 9x19mm ammunition. The unit comes complete with everything you need to change either one of these guns into a belt-fed!! It also allows the shooter to be able to actually go out and shoot it regularly without breaking the bank because this new unit is chambered in 9mm! That’s right.
FN 9MM BELT FED AR UPPER SERIES
The FM-9 is a complete upper receiver unit that drops right onto either a semi-auto AR-15 or a select-fire M-16 series rifle lower receiver. A lot of firepower in a very small package. The included belt bag holds 150 rounds of linked 9mm ammunition. It can be ordered in an 11 inch or 16 inch rifle length as well as a 6 inch pistol version. The Freedom Ordnance FM-9 is a complete 9mm belt-fed upper for the AR-15/M-16 series of rifles. Things have now changed dramatically with the introduction of a new accessory for the AR-15/M-16 series of weapons called the FM-9 from Freedom Ordnance. This has made owning a belt-fed gun (either semi or select-fire) out of the range of most shooters. At today’s ammunition prices feeding “the beast” is a very expensive proposition. In years past if you owned a select-fire weapon whether it be magazine or belt-fed, if you could afford the gun, the price of ammunition needed to feed it should be no problem. It seems like the pinnacle of firearms ownership is a full-auto firearm and then on past that is a belt-fed full-auto.
22 rifle, followed by bolt-action centerfire rifles, progressing through all sorts of semi-auto handguns and rifles, then moving on into the Class III realm of submachine guns and heavy machine guns. If you are a long time gun enthusiast, as this author is, you have probably owned a virtual gamut of various types and calibers of firearms.
