Not all 16” are created equally 👀

One of my favorite things about the Monolith is its overall size; not just because of the folding stock but also because of the “monolithic” design of it. Because the barrel/gasblock/muzzle device are all a solid piece, you can have a barrel that is 16”, but is only as long as a 14.7+muzzle device. And because the muzzle device is machined into the barrel you get rifling alllll the way up to the first baffle of the keymo, so you’ve got about 15” of rifling in there still. Soooo sick! Keeps the whole thing very compact and nimble feeling, on top of already being a light design. These things are rad. 🔥🔥

Okay so what's the raw TLDR quick honest truth on it? My FM15 was trash. My replacement FM15 functioned somewhat unsuppressed. When I asked them specifically about the gas port and if they addressed the issues the FM15 had when suppressed like for everyone basically they told me they weren't aware of the vast sea of complaints online and then stopped replying altogether. I REALLY want this in the 12.5 variant to SBR. I really want this thing to just WORK but if it won't be any better than one of my regular 11.5/12.5's with a law folder then I guess I'll just build out another lower with a law folder and use that lower when I want to take a 556 bag gun with me rather my 300BO pistol. I generally don't care about unsuppressed performance anymore since I have so many suppressors and some K cans that are incredible now that I just don't shoot unsuppressed. But for the purpose of a 'built to be folded' platform like this where it's not just sold as a bag gun niche product I'd like it to work unsuppressed just as well for some really specific niche situation I can mental gymnastics my way into needing it and not always suppressed. Is it good? Or does it have growing pains they need to fix still - and hopefully will be fixed?

Dude, my FM15 was absolute trash too. Wouldn't run, tons of soft strikes, totally unshootable and unreliable. I ultimately switched over to the Jakl and threw it in the Triad from A3. That said, I've shot a number of other FM15s, and they've been great! I don't know this for sure, but I think there was a wonky batch of uppers that went out, but they got them out of there. Everything I've heard about this Monolith has me excited. Color me hopeful.
