Radical Firearms 16" Socom 5.56mm AR rifle B5 Bravo Stock - $419.99 (Free S/H on Firearms)

I disagree. That could happen on factory-direct orders, but it is far more likely to happen on items processed thru the supply chain to the online buyer. Buyers should cross reference the factory's product description, and pictures with the ones displayed by the seller, and search out answers for any questions before placing their order. This process also helps you to identify products, and dealers you may want to avoid.

My opinion, buy this 16" 5.56 from Kentucky....you get lighter weight, easier to maneuver, more forgiving chamber, and free shipping. The Radical 18" SS in Wylde is a good deal as well, with a softer shooting gas system and slightly more accurate.

6/4/2023 - I watched a couple of videos about this problem two days ago. Some RF-15s built and shipped in Feb and March of 2023 had barrels with improperly cut chambers. Before taking possession of one I'd drop a round, a non-deformed empty brass case or snap cap into the chamber and make sure it fits snug with no wiggle. Watch these two vids in order for details of the problem and the resolution. Personally, due to the Dude's language (which doesn't bother me) I wouldn't play these vids without wearing headphones if there are any young'uns or language sensitive folks within earshot.
Some of the comments to the vids are interesting as well. This snipped quote is from a comment posted by the Youtuber: "Also you shouldn't be giving PSA a pass either. I am directly responsible for the Gen2 KS-47. All their changes they made from Gen1 were from my videos showing all their problems and their marketing director lying on other youtube channels about it. I used to have public videos documenting their problems until youtube changed their educational policy" - I don't have any reason to doubt that. Watch the vids and see what yall think. I hope this ordeal prompts Radical to improve their QC and CS and start shipping the brass from the test fired rounds with the firearms.

We fix Radicals all the time, Bad QC mixed with high volume is a bad recipe. Buy a better quality gun if you can. The old saying "you get what you pay for"

Sorry that you got a lemon. I guess they can’t all be winners. But the lifetime warranty should live up to its name. They should get you all fixed up. At $400, you could easily do worse

don't forget ambi safety. really nice for lefties or just in general.

That BCM handguard is polymer. I’d take any cheap free float 15” aluminum rail over a plastic 10” BCM, Geissele, or Larue handguard any day. This will also run cleaner since it has a midlength gas system as opposed to Anderson’s carbine length system. It’s furniture beats Anderson’s m4 stock, and A2 grip too.

1/24/2023 - Yep. Good deal. In addition to this model, right now KyGunCo has three other models also priced at $399 shipped. One other chambered in .556 with a different handguard. Another chambered in 300BLK. And another (a 1st for KyGunCo ) chambered in 7.62x39. They all are equipped with the B5 Systems stock & grip. I think they all have an ambidextrous safety.
All 4 rifles can be found on this page along with a short-N-sweet video that shows them: https://www.kygunco.com/video/radical-firearms-rf15-deal...

I have to agree. The component list on this makes for a very smart value at $400 and is a tempting deal. I'd like to see how it does after 5k rounds. Radical has made a lot of positive changes since they started. I'm curious about the warranty and customer service...I see that removing the hand-guard voids the warranty.
