FM Products Mike-45 Complete Lower Receiver w/ RMB and A5 Tube

This complete assembled Mike-45 Glock-style lower receiver combo comes with an RMB (Recoil Mitigation Buffer) installed, with an A5 buffer tube. The addition of the RMB really compliments the recoil reduction on a 45 Caliber PCC build, smoothing out, and softening felt recoil.

A great option for a builder who already has a standard (non short-stroke) PCC upper they want to use. The RMB is designed to work with an A5 Buffer Tube with PCC uppers that are not “short stroke style.” For users with a VFM-series upper you may prefer a standard Carbine Buffer Tube—see fitment guidance for your specific upper.

The RMB offers consumers the best results for recoil mitigation and reliability. Foxtrot Mike Products, a trusted name in firearm innovation for over nine years, proudly presents the RMB (Recoil Mitigating Buffer) System tuned specifically for .45 ACP pistol-caliber carbine (PCC) platforms. The RMB is a proprietary buffer system that dramatically improves performance, accuracy, and shooting comfort — while maintaining the affordability and reliability that Foxtrot Mike is known for.

• At the core of the RMB is a finely tuned reciprocating mass that eliminates bolt bounce — a long-standing issue in traditional blowback-operated PCCs. Combined with a sliding buffer body, a dampening spring, and a durable urethane impact modifier, the RMB system delivers a soft, controlled recoil impulse that users will feel immediately. High-speed video testing has shown the RMB eliminates bolt bounce in properly matched PCC builds. No +P or +P+ ammo was used for testing.

“Recoil Mitigation = Accuracy & Reliability.”

This is the guiding principle behind the RMB and the legacy Foxtrot Mike Products has built over nearly a decade of pushing the envelope. From proprietary in-house designs to widely respected white label OEM manufacturing, Foxtrot Mike Products has a rich history of developing reliable, economical, and feature-rich solutions for firearm enthusiasts and industry partners alike. store.fm-products.com

In collaboration with industry experts and insights from authorities on blowback dynamics, the RMB was rigorously blind-tested — and the results speak for themselves:

  • Noticeable recoil reduction compared to standard heavy buffers
  • Improved shot groupings during rapid fire
  • Complete bolt-bounce elimination verified by high-speed video (in matched test setups)

FM performed extensive reliability and bolt bounce testing on PCC platforms; longer barrels and differing upper designs may affect results. The best recoil mitigation is achieved when the RMB is matched to the correct buffer tube, spring, and upper configuration. There are many variables in a PCC build; individual results may vary depending on your setup. store.fm-products.com

Whether you’re assembling a new .45 PCC or upgrading an existing platform, the Mike-45 with RMB offers a superior solution for smoother shooting, better accuracy, and increased system reliability. Great for use with a suppressed build, and compliments 45 Caliber because its subsonic
