Radical Firearms AR-15 MHR 5.56mm NATO 16in Black Anodized Semi Automatic Modern Sporting Rifle

Introduction

The Radical Firearms AR-15 MHR chambered in 5.56mm NATO with a 16-inch barrel is engineered to deliver uncompromised performance, reliability, and adaptability in every shooting scenario. Built on MIL-STD upper and lower receivers, this modern sporting rifle blends precision machining with rugged durability. Whether you’re a competitive shooter, a tactical professional, or a recreational marksman, the RF-15 delivers the legendary AR-15 platform in a configuration that elevates ergonomics, accuracy, and modular potential.

Precision Barrel and Ballistics

At the heart of the RF-15 is a 16-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:7-inch twist rate optimized for stabilizing the full range of 5.56mm NATO projectiles. The black anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and low glare, ensuring consistent shot-to-shot performance in varied environmental conditions. Combined with the free float 15-inch MHR rail system, the barrel is isolated from stock pressure, enhancing inherent accuracy and delivering tight groupings at 100, 200, and even 300 yards.

MHR Free Float Rail System

Radical Firearms’ proprietary MHR (Modular Handguard Rail) system is a lightweight, free float design that maximizes accessory mounting space without torquing the barrel. Its slim profile and continuous top Picatinny rail allow smooth optic alignment from receiver to muzzle. Multiple M-LOK or QD sling swivel attachment points on the 15-inch handguard offer flexibility for lights, lasers, grips, and bipods, while maintaining a comfortable grip surface that dissipates heat during rapid-fire sessions.

Ergonomic Stock and Grip

The RF-15 ships with B5 Systems Type 23 pistol grip and a six-position B5 Bravo adjustable stock. These components are crafted using reinforced polymer for lasting durability and provide a generous contact patch for consistent cheek weld and recoil absorption. The Bravo stock’s rubber buttpad and quick-adjust lever enable fast length-of-pull changes to accommodate body armor or variable shooting positions, making the rifle equally adept in competition, field, or tactical environments.

Component Quality and Finish

Every Radical Firearms AR-15 MHR receiver is machined to Mil-Spec tolerances from 7075 T6 aluminum and then meticulously anodized in black for a non-reflective, protective finish. The barrel nut, gas block, and two-piece gas tube system are built for robust gas management and long service life. Steel components like the bolt carrier group undergo rigorous heat treating and MPI inspection, ensuring reliability and safety under sustained fire.

Modularity and Customization

Modular by design, the RF-15 is compatible with a vast ecosystem of AR-15 parts and accessories. The MHR rail accepts all standard AR-15 handguard attachments, and the Mil-Spec receiver interface allows seamless drops of alternate uppers and lowers. Whether you want to upgrade to a match-grade trigger, install enhanced controls, or swap to different barrel lengths and calibers, the Radical Firearms AR-15 MHR platform supports growth and personalization with minimal tools and downtime.

Tactical and Sporting Applications

Featuring a 30+1 round magazine capacity and a reliable direct-impingement gas system tuned around a mid-length gas tube, the RF-15 is equally suited for 3-gun competition, varmint hunting, home defense, and patrol duty. The rifle’s lightweight profile and balanced handling characteristics reduce shooter fatigue during extended use, while the high-capacity magazine and easy-to-operate controls ensure quick follow-up shots when seconds matter most.

Maintenance and Reliability

Routine maintenance of the Radical Firearms AR-15 MHR is straightforward thanks to the standard A2 flash hider, captive takedown pins, and tool-free rail installation. The bolt carrier group’s phosphate coating simplifies cleaning and lubrication, while the crowned muzzle protects the barrel rifling when mounted with suppressors or muzzle devices. Proper care and inspection extend service life and preserve the rifle’s factory accuracy.

Customer Support and Warranty

Radical Firearms stands behind every AR-15 MHR rifle with a limited lifetime warranty on the barrel and a two-year warranty on all other components. Dedicated customer support and an active user community ensure that you have access to technical guidance, spare parts, and upgrade advice well after purchase.
