Radical Firearms Forged 5.56mm NATO 16in SOCOM Modern Sporting Rifle

Introduction

The Radical Firearms Forged 5.56mm NATO 16 inch SOCOM Modern Sporting Rifle represents the pinnacle of reliability and precision in the world of AR-style rifles. Designed for serious shooters who demand performance, this rifle is built around MIL-STD forged upper and lower receivers that ensure rugged durability and consistent operation in the toughest environments. The SOCOM platform features a free-float 15 inch Modular Handguard Rail (MHR) that allows users to customize accessory placement and maintain a solid, comfortable grip over extended shooting sessions.

Precision Barrel and Caliber

Incorporating a 4140 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel barrel with a 1:7 twist rate, the rifle stabilizes a wide range of bullet weights for improved accuracy at both short and long ranges. The 16 inch barrel length strikes a balance between maneuverability and ballistic performance, delivering reliable velocity and consistent groupings round after round. Finished in a durable black anodized coating, the barrel and flat top upper receiver resist corrosion and maintain a sleek tactical appearance in any environment.

Ergonomics and Stock

Ergonomics are at the heart of this modern sporting rifle. The overmolded B5 Systems Bravo stock provides lightweight adjustability and solid cheek support for enhanced shooting comfort across multiple positions. A textured black polymer grip complements the stock, offering positive traction and control even when handling in adverse weather conditions. Every interface point on the rifle is designed to ensure that shooters can maintain a firm hold and accurate shot placement every time the trigger is pressed.

Modular Rail and Accessory Options

The 15 inch MHR free-float rail system not only keeps hands cool during sustained fire, but also offers a full length picatinny top rail for mounting optics and backup iron sights. Side and bottom M-LOK slots allow for modular attachment of tactical lights, lasers, vertical grips or bipods without adding unnecessary weight. This modularity lets shooters configure the rifle to their specific mission requirements whether training at the range, competing in 3-gun matches or defending home and family.

Reliable Semi-Automatic Operation

Powered by a semi-automatic direct impingement action, the Radical Firearms SOCOM rifle cycles reliably with standard 5.56 NATO ammunition out of the box. The upper and lower receivers are machined to precise tolerances to ensure smooth bolt carrier group operation and a consistent lockup. Enhanced anti-walk pins and a precision machined barrel extension further improve reliability under rapid fire and heavy recoil scenarios, making this rifle a dependable platform for both recreational and professional applications.

Optic Ready Platform

Optic ready by design, the flat top upper receiver accommodates a wide selection of red dot sights, magnified scopes or night vision optics. For shooters who prefer backup iron sights, the picatinny rail seamlessly integrates flip-up front and rear sights without the need for additional mounting hardware. This flexibility ensures quick target acquisition in close quarter scenarios while allowing precision aiming out to 300 yards and beyond with quality magnified optics.

Low Maintenance Durability

Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the anodized finish that protects internal and external components from rust and fouling. The free float handguard eliminates contact with the barrel, improving accuracy and simplifying cleaning. Removal of the bolt carrier group and ease of disassembly allow for quick inspections and lubrication in the field. Radical Firearms’ commitment to quality control means that each component meets or exceeds industry standards before assembly, ensuring long service life under harsh conditions.

Versatility and Customization

Whether customizing for hunting small to medium game, competing in precision rifle matches or outfitting for personal defense, the Radical Firearms Forged SOCOM rifle provides a versatile foundation. Change calibers or barrel lengths easily with drop-in uppers. Adjust the stock or grip to fit a range of body types and shooting stances. Add suppressors, flash hiders or compensators to modify recoil impulse and muzzle flash, tailoring the rifle’s performance to the shooter’s unique preferences.

Ideal for Diverse Shooters

Shooters ranging from weekend range hobbyists to professional tactical operators will appreciate the SOCOM rifle’s combination of durability and modular design. Law enforcement personnel and security professionals benefit from a reliable semi-automatic platform capable of rapid follow-up shots and precise engagement of multiple targets. Civilian enthusiasts will enjoy the smooth trigger pull, minimal recoil and high quality components that make every trip to the firing line more enjoyable.
