Overview

The Radical Firearms RAD-15 is a precision-engineered 5.56mm NATO modern sporting rifle designed for shooters who demand unwavering reliability, exceptional accuracy, and outstanding ergonomics.

Enhanced Accuracy

Whether you’re dialing in targets at 100 yards or engaging steel at extended distances, the RAD-15 delivers pinpoint consistency. Its 16-inch free-float barrel works in harmony with the concentric RDR rail system, eliminating barrel deflection caused by handguard pressure. This stability dramatically reduces point-of-impact variance, elevating your confidence shot after shot. The 1:7-inch twist rate stabilizes a wide spectrum of bullet weights, from 55-grain FMJ to premium 77-grain match rounds, making the RAD-15 versatile for tactical courses, competition stages, or varmint hunting scenarios.

Ergonomic Design

Radical Firearms prioritized shooter comfort with the RAD-15’s B5 Bravo stock and Type 23 grip. The Bravo stock offers six adjustable positions and a sloping cheek weld, ensuring a natural sight picture behind any optic. Its slim, streamlined profile reduces weight and snag hazards, while the Type 23 grip features a subtle palm swell and aggressive texturing for secure handling in adverse conditions. Combined with ambidextrous safety selectors and an extended magazine release, the RAD-15 accommodates right- and left-handed shooters with ease.

Reliable Performance

Constructed with MIL-STD 1913 receivers, the Radical Firearms RAD-15 upholds the rigorous tolerances and durability expected of military-spec components. The chrome-lined barrel resists wear and corrosion, extending the service life even under high round counts. A precision, mil-spec bolt carrier group cycles smoothly, minimizing malfunctions and ensuring dependable feeding in rapid-fire drills. Whether you’re running hundreds of rounds for training or facing high-stakes competition, you can trust the RAD-15 to perform under pressure.

Customization and Accessories

The 15-inch free-float RDR rail serves as a modular platform for optics, backup iron sights, lasers, flashlights, bipods, vertical grips, and sling mounts. All M-LOK compatible attachments can be mounted directly onto the handguard, reducing weight while maximizing flexibility. The MIL-STD top rail allows co-witness with any AR-15 iron sights and is ready for red dots, magnified scopes, and night vision devices. Swap barrels, change furniture, or upgrade triggers — the RAD-15’s Mil-Spec compatibility ensures a vast aftermarket ecosystem.

Ideal Applications

The RAD-15 excels in a variety of roles: tactical training for law enforcement, 3-gun competition, home defense, or range plinking. Its semi-automatic action and high-capacity magazine support rapid follow-up shots, while its precision barrel and free-float rail enable sub-MOA potential in skilled hands. Lightweight and balanced, it’s comfortable on long courses of fire and remains maneuverable in close-quarters scenarios. Professional shooters and enthusiasts alike rely on the RAD-15 for both practical and peacetime applications.

Maintenance and Care

Routine maintenance ensures your RAD-15 continues to deliver flawless performance. Regular cleaning of the bolt carrier group, barrel extension, and chamber prevents fouling buildup. A light coating of CLP (Cleaner/Lubricant/Protectant) on moving parts preserves corrosion resistance and smooth cycling. Inspect gas rings, extractor springs, and buffer components periodically. With proper care, the chrome-lined barrel and anodized finish will remain protected, and the rifle will retain its factory precision for thousands of rounds.
