Performance and Versatility

The RAD-15 350 Legend excels in a variety of shooting scenarios. The 16-inch barrel offers a balanced combination of maneuverability and muzzle velocity, making it ideal for dense woods, brush country, and open-field shots. The 350 Legend round generates minimal muzzle blast and felt recoil compared to larger centerfire calibers, allowing rapid follow-up shots and tighter grouping during extended range sessions or field hunts.

Its semi-automatic action from Radical Firearms is tuned for consistent feeding and extraction. The bolt carrier group is precision machined from Carpenter 158 steel and coated for corrosion resistance. The mid-length gas system, paired with a low-profile gas block, harmonizes cycling performance with minimal wear on internal parts, prolonging service intervals and delivering ultra-smooth operation.

Modular Rail and Accessory Compatibility

At the heart of the RAD-15 350 Legend is the Radical Firearms 15-inch RPR (Rapid Patrol Rail) handguard. This free-float aluminum rail features M-LOK slots for mounting lights, lasers, bipods, and vertical grips exactly where you need them. Users benefit from a continuous top Picatinny section that aligns seamlessly with the upper receiver, perfect for low-profile backup sights or magnified optics. The lightweight cutouts on the RPR save ounces without sacrificing strength, ensuring the rifle remains nimble during extended carry or dynamic shooting courses.

For operators who demand customization, the rail system accepts standard AR-15 accessories, enabling quick installation of gas blocks, flip-up sights, offset mounts, and hand-stop devices. Whether configuring for precision benchrest shooting, urban tactics drills, or large-game hunting, the RAD-15 platform adapts to your mission.

Ergonomics and Control

Radical Firearms outfitted the RAD-15 with Movement Fuel Technologies (MFT) components: a B5 Bravo six-position stock and a Type 23 pistol grip. The stock offers length-of-pull adjustment, multiple sling attachment points, and a rubber buttpad for recoil absorption. The Type 23 grip features enhanced palm swells and aggressive texturing, ensuring a secure hold under recoil or adverse weather conditions.

The balanced weight distribution of the forged receivers and free-float handguard enables intuitive pointability. Shooters will notice a natural balance from center of mass geometry, cutting down on fatigue during lengthy range sessions or backcountry treks. Controls like magazine release, bolt catch, and safety selector are positioned and sized in compliance with Mil-Spec, facilitating fast, positive manipulation during high-stress drills.

Hunting Applications

Chambered in 350 Legend, this Modern Sporting Rifle caters to hunters in states mandating straight-wall cartridges. The 350 Legend round propels heavy-for-caliber bullets at moderate velocities, creating sufficient energy for deer-sized game within practical distances. The semi-auto action speeds up follow-up shots, a crucial advantage when tracking wounded game or managing multiple targets in proximity. The 10+1 capacity magazine ensures you have ample rounds on tap when field regulations allow, while the B5 Bravo stock’s adjustable settings maintain shooter comfort through all-day hunts.

Maintenance and Durability

Radical Firearms engineered the RAD-15 for low-maintenance reliability. The free-float barrel remains pocket-free from the handguard, eliminating pressure-induced point-of-impact shifts. The bolt carrier group and charging handle are heat-treated and coated to resist carbon build-up and corrosion. Routine cleaning and proper lubrication will keep the rifle functioning flawlessly for thousands of rounds. All fasteners torque to Mil-Spec standards, locking critical attachments against vibration and recoil fatigue.

In harsh environments, the black hard coat anodized finish on the receivers, free-float rail, and stock tube provides exceptional resistance to scratches and oxidation. Users can confidently subject the RAD-15 to rain, mud, and extreme temperatures without fearing surface degradation or compromised functionality.
