Best bang for buck

by

This rifle is absolutely fantastic. I got it for sub $500 and with an LPVO it shoots 1” - 1.5” groups at 100 yards easy with 55 gr ball ammo. It shoots just as good as my more expensive AR’s. This is a heck of a deal. And it’s made in Texas? Awesome.

A Great Rifle @ A Crazy Price

by

I paid under $600 for this rifle and it has performed flawlessly firing every ,223 and 5.56 round I've fed it. Even guys with more expensive AR's have complemented me on how well it shoots and it's distinct sound.

Great deal!!!

Don’t let the lower prices fool you. Love the system

Awesome gun

by

I bought this gun from Primary Arms when it was $449 (9/21/21). How can you beat that deal ! That's cheaper than kit AR's. The RPR rail feels amazing ! The trigger is OK, not great. I have a LaRue MBT 2s Flat Bow trigger coming and a shim kit to remove any play between the upper and lower. So for less than $600 you can a GREAT mid level AR15. The stock grip has an aggressive texture and feels great but I love the look and feel of the ERGO brand grip. The barrel is marked 5.56 nato so no worries on caliber. Maybe a fun Ceracoat finish down the road. Made in Texas ! Whats left to say...

Service and First Fire

Ordered this AR on Wednesday received Friday shot Sunday. Quick turn around on order. First 100 rounds down range dead on. After zeroing the sites, red dot, consistently had groups in 1 1/2 spread from 50 yards.

Great Rifle For A Great Price

by -

I purchased this rifle for list price ($609) back in February and it was still about $100 less than the same rifle at Carter's Country. And it was available!

I have had zero problems in shooting about 1,000 rounds of various ammo (brass case, steel case, Russian, American, etc.) with no failures to feed or fire. It is a joy to shoot.

I also like that it is locally manufactured and has a lifetime warranty.

Are there better rifles out there? Sure, but I haven't seen anything with this value at this price. And when during the Great Lockdown when ARs were as scarce as hen's teeth, Radical Arms came through with inventory at a great price.

If I hadn't just had to "loan" my youngest son rent money, I'd buy another just for the lower receiver (to build one in 7.62 x 39 mm). :-)

Gunprime is Awesome

These guys are the very best...love this ar...and Gunprime adjusted it for me...what a great company to do business with.

Good gun at a good price

by -

Got this on sale for less than $500 otd. I needed an upper for a billet lower that I recently finished building so I bought this for almost the same price of buying just a complete upper.

Rifle looks good but had some small ding marks when I picked it up. And the countersunk bolts on the ambi selector switch were loose, had to tighten them up. Magazine is a semi gloss (powdercoat?) Paint material that looks and feels cheap. Got magpuls so that's what i'll use. Other than those negs, rifle is good to go.
Yeah yeah, "nitpicking"..."it's a tool, it'll get scratched" blah blah blah...just letting you know what I got when I picked it up. I can live with it because yes, it's a tool..😆

Just finished sighting it in and it performed flawlessly without any hiccups.
Well worth the price of admission.
Primary arms staff were great when I picked it up locally.

I've been shooting Radical for 5 years now.

I have 2 AR15s from Radical and I absolutely love them. My Radical rifles have help up radically and shot straight. I have one a build a 16" mock up of an SPR and I know it's not the right barrel length, but I'm hitting 1.5" groups at 100 yards all day. My buddy who is a better marksman get better results then that. Absolutely amazing quality for the price. In my opinion this is equal to an aero precision rifle.

Great Rifle

This rifle is spot on. I'm a AK fan, but this fantastic: it's not a. beginner rifle. Price is unbelievable. GARY OWEN [10 CAV]
