Overview

Design and Construction

This FR-16 model is built around a precision-machined, law enforcement–grade upper receiver and a standard Mil-Spec lower receiver. The 16-inch barrel is black anodized to resist corrosion and withstand harsh environments. The rifle’s barrel twist rate of 1:16” stabilizes a wide variety of bullet weights, ensuring consistent groupings at extended ranges. A heavy-profile barrel design helps reduce barrel whip and minimize heat distortion during rapid firing sequences.

Caliber: .350 Legend

The .350 Legend cartridge was engineered for straight-wall compliance and optimal performance in states that restrict certain rifle cartridges. It offers low recoil, high muzzle energy, and excellent terminal performance on medium-sized game. Whether you’re hunting deer or protecting your property, the .350 Legend gives you confidence with every shot.

Ergonomics and Controls

The FR-16 features a 6-position B5 Bravo adjustable stock that permits quick length-of-pull adjustments to fit shooters of all sizes and shooting positions. A B5 Type 23 grip provides a comfortable, non-slip surface to enhance control under recoil. The ambidextrous charging handle and an enlarged magazine release ensure fast, intuitive operation. The standard Mil-Spec controls, including a single-stage trigger and safety selector, provide a familiar, consistent feel for all AR-style shooters.

Optics and Accessories

This Radical Firearms rifle arrives optics-ready with a Picatinny rail atop the upper receiver. The continuous top rail extends the full length of the receiver and handguard, allowing the addition of scopes, red dot sights, lights, and backup iron sights. The free-floating handguard features M-LOK slots at multiple 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions for mounting accessories such as grips, bipods, and lasers. The slim profile handguard also aids in heat dissipation and reduces overall weight.

Performance and Accuracy

With its 16-inch barrel and optimized rifling, the FR-16 350 Legend achieves tight groupings out to 200 yards and beyond. The black anodized finish on the barrel and receivers not only looks sleek but also prevents surface wear from moisture and salt buildup. Shooting groups of quality factory .350 Legend ammunition, many users can expect sub-2 MOA accuracy from the bench with proper optics and shooting technique.
