Questions & Answers
Will the FM15 upper function with a lower that has a standard buffer tube, spring, and buffer?

Yes it will but there is no need for the buffer or spring. The bcg and internal recoil springs keep everything in the upper receiver. This gun can be fired with the stock folded, or no stock at all. If you prefer the stock that go on buffer tubes there are quite a few skeletonized buffer tubes that can have a standard stock installed on them and can work with any folding mechanism you prefer. These uppers and guns are very light, very soft recoil and being able to fold it up for storage or getting in and out of vehicles and being able to use the weapon with the stock folded is an excellent advantage over the fixed stock or folding adapters that can’t be fired while folded.

Will this fit on an AR-18 lower? If it helps, the particular model I'm looking at is the ADM UIC-180.

Yes it will. I have a couple fm15 gen 2’s, 2 Brn-180’s, mcx lt upper, and they all work with the picatiny buffer tube extension lowers from adm, brownells, foxtrot mike, and another one I got. If you are planning on suppressing this upper I highly recommend getting an adjustable gas block for it. FM offers upppers with them installed or you can get one from them, or at least used to. This is the only DI internal recoils system platform I’ve ever seen. I still prefer my Brn-180 but that’s because I’m a lefty and I always run a can. I have that adm lower, I got it on a bundle deal at brownells. FM products actually helped build the BRN-180’s along with PWS. PWS is the king of piston ar’s but they all have buffer tubes. FM is the only internal recoil DI systems. They worked together on it. I’m hoping that FM will start offering piston options, PWS has a new line of internal recoil rifles.

Nice upper, however stock attachment is garbage by Kevin, Verified Owner, January 27, 2023
Upper is cool, seems like a decent quality piece. The only real issue I have with it is the picatinny adapter that it comes with. The part that holds the stock rail to where the buffer tube usually attaches is a threaded plastic piece with a metal ...

So far so good I like the front side charge and being bufferless tops it off.
