Did a bit of searching regarding Radical Firearms and came across a forum thread about em on AR15.com talking about their product. Seems that people are pleased with their orders. Only saw one post with actual range info; stated with sub par optic and ACT trigger grouping was 2" @ 100yds, but poster said he was confident that with better optic, trigger, and more stable rest it could pull sub moa groups. That plus everyone saying that they have not experienced any operational issues under normal to moderate stress has me sold on it for the price. Plus I wouldnt think Primary Arms would stand behind a sub par product.

I don't remember if they mentioned the ammo used or not. I'll edit this post w/ the info if it was provided...if I can find it again...
EDIT: Finally found the same posting. He showed pictures of targets as well.
1.41 @ 50 yds w/ 69 grain SMKs
1.97 @ 100 yds w/ 69 grain
2.01 @ 100 yds w/ 77 grain
That is all of the info he provided other than using an under-magnified optic and just free shooting from a bench and not using a lead sled or anything. For the price, I'm sure I will be satisfied; I'm not competition shooting or anything, just burning through rounds for fun.
Did go ahead and grab a Seekins melonited gas tube as well due to the black friday sales. for under $13, and the plain jane tube from Daniel Defense being $12, I figured what the hell, whats $0.50?Last edited by RobSWVA; 28 November 2014 at 20:21.

Starting to worry about USPS. My springs, pins, detents, etc etc kit I ordered Monday still hasn't left Indiana where it originated from. Strange considering it was Priority Mail 2-day and picked up from shipper on Tuesday. I know the holiday may have slowed it down a bit, but I would think it would have moved at least beyond the pickup USPS location in a week. Ordered a stock/buffer kit from AR15goa on Wednesday and it has already left the Roanoke, VA USPS hub and heading this way; probably deliver tomorrow as promised, so kinda curious as to why the other order is lagging. Guess I just have to hurry up and wait

It may have moved Rob and the tracking info wasn't updated
Freedom is NEVER Free. We have to work to protect it and even be willing to die to protect it.

Yeh, they both came in today. Guess I just get a bit impatient when something is shipping that I am really wanting my hands on, lol

That's the way USPS likes to roll sometimes. The last time I tried tracking a package through them their site said the package hadn't been picked up, when I got home there was a note on the door where they had tried to deliver it.

Snagged 2 before they sold out. Originally, I was going to wait till the next day to finish my order, and though, I bet these sell out.
Isn't that the truth? They always advertise 2 day Priority Mail, but it usually takes 3. What happens if they deliver late? Absolutely nothing.

Well, have gotten a bunch of black friday grabs in the mail this week; springs, pins, detents kit, stock/buffer kit, barrel and gas tube, and parts sent by will via the generosity of ya'll sending him more stuff than he needed. Will be able to get my lower completely finished up and my upper mounted w/ my barrel and handguard hopefully (gotta get access to a vise to put that reaction rod to use). Sucks living in an apt, nowhere to work on things when anything other than hand tools is needed. will follow up w/ some updated pics when I'm finished up. Thanks goes out to all of the guys being generous and paying it forward, would be way behind the ball on this without it. Guess it looks like after the holidays before I can finish this build up; between finishing xmas shopping for kids and work closing down for 2-3 wks during the holidays, it's not likely that the remaining parts are gonna be on the shopping list until after the new year
