Man I’m starting to really love your videos. I found a a couple weeks ago and been watching ever sense. You have a good way with words.

[@715Tactical]

Appreciate you man 🙏

[@slayuh]

built my radian out , started with the adac lower and then finally got my hands on and upper hand guard combo, slapped a lantac bcg, noveske barrel and geissele trigger and it’s a dream, even with iron sights my groupings are so good. literally a class of its own

[@blackdotammunition9606]

Great review!

[@garyjohnson7314]

you do a great job. thanks

[@TexasShotz]

Emissary handbrake is my go to, radian safety as well… add in the Reptilia CQB grip and that’s setup for every AR I own …

[@DrunknWhaler]

I have the 14.5 and couldn’t be happier!

[@michaelsmith5286]

I bought a staccato from tag firearms in Bismarck, North Dakota, the guy that helped me down there was super cool, gave me a free hat, gave me a free hoodie a bad ass one!! And the best price on the gun. Super good price great guy and awesome stuff When I first was there I thought there had to of been a catch, but there wasn’t super bad ass company!

[@larrymarsico4059]

One of my GRAIL AR's!!!

[@DisgustedGenXr]

I put a H3 captured ArmSpec buffer in my 10.5”. Along with a Ultradyne Mercury brake. Oh and 300 Arms NiB BCG. Oh yes. Double Triple etc taps are effortless

[@AndyAdventuring]

If you want to dramatically improve gas-to-face, get an adjustable BCG like the Bootleg or something. It actually works really well, venting that excess gas away from you and making your gun shoot soft even with the blowback from the suppressor.

[@tretre92]

Wouldn’t use them in a shtf situation

[@howardroark9]

Get a Gemtech SN-ACH charging handle or a Gas Buster. They work superb!

[@compositetiger]

Anyone use the Lantac Enhanced BCG?

[@Jdowling357]

Great pistol : yes. Overpriced and be prepared to wait on it : also yes.

[@Ry_Pox]

There are a few in stock on gun broker atm if you are dying for one and they are less than what’s listed on radian.

[@RJGuitz]

Got my Radian ADAC lower from rooftopdefense, slapped in my Geissele SD3G and my complete upper from Opticsplanet. Both shipping was super fast, got to build it within 2 weeks.

[@Fittednocap]

@@RJGuitz damn would love to see that. Have it posted somewhere ?

[@Fittednocap]

When you mentioned the recoil impulse is def worth making note off, is that a bad thing or good?

[@715Tactical]

It's a good thing!

[@richardpeckerwood9851]

Cool video

@715 Tactical The people need to know…..Noveske v Radian v Q v ADM v SOLGW v KAC v DD v TypeA v TriArc v LWRC

[@715Tactical]

Agreed, maybe I will give my opinion in a future video 🤙

[@DisgustedGenXr]

That thing is gorgeous 😍

[@Seanedmund]

Dammit dammit. Though I had this as a must buy in the back of my head I had almost convinced myself I didn’t need it. But, off to the shop we go. At this point I should just leave my wallet at the store.

[@OriginalFallofMind]

Good luck

[@MSPService]

Werd… Like being married AND having daughters, you just give in at a certain point; ‘… here’s my wallet, just give me back what you think I should have…’ Excellent video tho @715Tactical, I dig the quality production, intelligent voiceovers, and thorough review in general - really a level above the usual 2A-geared content, which unfortunately prevents me from following or subscribing to any; I’m so glad I went down the Radian rabbit hole [as if I needed more convincing that I *need* a Model 1], which led me to this channel. New follow, please keep up the excellent work!

[@motorcarclassics2922]

I own a 14.5 and its the bees knees

[@scalpemNoles]

That's the first list like that doesn't have PWS on it. They are at the very least in the high tier column.

[@archangelx2x097]

Is the gas block pinned through the barrel?

[@dfghjkl501]

I own 4 out of the last 5 guns you’ve reviewed. Starting to get freaked out.

[@715Tactical]

Haha it just means you are supposed to be here 🤙

[@mikeknoll1130]

Who makes that scaled plate on the handgaurd?

[@bustabeans7917]

715 as in Northern Wisconsin? Part time Madeline Island resident here

[@715Tactical]

Yes sir!

[@bustabeans7917]

Your reviews are awesome man. 1911 syndicate turned me on to your channel and I'm hooked. Good to see N Wisco represent. You going to keep pumping out reviews in the winter?

[@MrKingArthurhk]

So, the price of a B&T in the same caliber.

[@dt8694]

Would you take This radian mod 1 or the sig mcx spear lt?

[@715Tactical]

Spear lt all day

[@Phantompunisher]

Who makes that claw looking hand stop ?

Emissary Development

@@715Tactical thank you!

[@jeffszakacs7508]

I might possibly get the upper for a model 1 lower I bought stripped from radian directly and it was about a month or so wait time which is pretty good about five weeks say six months ago with a Daniel Defense 10 three barrel with a Geissele MK4 rail Sure fire three prong and as you said the word top-tier gets thrown around I guess mine stopped here the amount of money I put into it which I could’ve bought a model one with but as a Colion Noir says and it would be a good one for a shirt ammo crackhead as I have it once I start shooting I can’t stop I’ll shoot about 1000 rounds or so and that’s not good enough I gotta use my 230 round mags of 77 grand sierra match king and my mag of Speer Gold Dot 75 grand soft tip SMH those are the best self-defense rounds in the fucking world but guess what I had to shoot in the fucking berm because once I start shooting shit all end up having nothing left so that gun specifically 10.3 cold hammer forged barrel under a MK for rail sure fire three prong war comp also sheriff fireman Scott white pro with the DS tail cap with the ST07 tape switch with cloud defensive mount and wire control system eotech EXPS 3-0 Daniel defense fixed irons super 42 braided wire heavy buffer system in an H2 configuration with a beautiful three to 4 o’clock ejection pattern and the extra I bought was that NP3 coated radian raptor SD of course I got a buy the most expensive one out of them Under a DDC type three hardcoat anodized buffer tube Geisseles SD3G trigger and the fit is great on any upper because of the quality and under the take down and in the rear there’s a plunger and spring that is theirs to take out any sort of play in upper receiver for waffle and it to see how good it was I put it on OK much heavier longer copper with a scope vortex the large scout light pro sings head out but a Vortex 1-8x And an offset vortex venom 3moa on an arisaka 35/45° offset you can do it in either configuration degree and still with a 20 ounce optic it was like cemented in place it’s a solid lower I only wish though radian anodized then Sarah coated and sure that’s a longer process to do but the Sarah code I noticed gets one through to where I want to use a polymer dust cover or switch it out to one that doesn’t ding up the lower ensure it yeah it’s a little complaints but a $500 stripped lower normal strip lower is about 99 bucks or like Taipei for example day and it dies then Sarah coat the same color over the black anodizing so when you wear through say black in color your black anodizing right underneath the cerakoted receiver

[@SolidGold44]

What is the difference between a 10.5” and 16”? Which is better?

[@sivakornsirirat1334]

Depends on what are you looking for. CQB? Long range precision? Home defense? Suppressed or unsuppressed? The list goes on but personally, I think 14.5 is the jack of all trades.

[@banksta3]

Unfortunately it's a 9 month wait for one.

[@OriginalFallofMind]

Remember that time I had one on order for two years. Oh, and they don't answer or return calls or emails.

[@flawless1up]

i asked them numerous times who makes their barrels, zero answer

[@derek3154]

I like ADM better myself, with Geissele charging handle and Forward Controls Design 50 degree safety as my new favorite.

[@asfaraslogic]

Before the boating accident, I had one of each. My ADM arrived at my ffl damaged. The customer service from them made me never order another.

[@derek3154]

@@asfaraslogic really?!?!! Sorry to hear that. How was it damaged?

[@asfaraslogic]

@@derek3154 It had three dents in the magwell. They were fairly deep and immediately noticeable.

[@derek3154]

@@asfaraslogic that’s unacceptable for sure, a great ambi gun but they could of fixed it!!

[@asfaraslogic]

@Derek Eventually, they replaced it. But getting that far with the representative was a poor experience. The delivered final product was an amazing lower.

[@RedEarthRider]

Twop teer, bahdom of tha barral.

[@TexasShotz]

I didn’t see Blackout Defense anywhere on the list, I’m going to have to put them in the Operator column

[@leealan4312]

I would take a KAC sr15 11.5, BGD contractor 11.5, ADM core defender 11.5, and a LMT mars PDW over a Radian all day every day.

[@XWALKINGDEADx]

Work on your subscribers

[@XWALKINGDEADx]

Put ten thousand rounds through the gun before you review

[@XWALKINGDEADx]

Your not showing cool shit

[@XWALKINGDEADx]

Your video is irrelevant.There's a second iteration of the gun

[@jeffszakacs7508]

I ordered the black upper “builder” kit as I have a radian ADAC Lower in black , Geissele sd3g trigger and buffer H2 geissele super 42 system as it will work better even though r as Dian has decent buffer but it’s got zero twang my 10.3 Daniel using Mk4 rail it didn’t move and neutral warcomp 3p The barrel m putting in is a Headspaced Noveske 300 barrel bead blasted 416r stainless and a 60° polish crown and polished feed ramps Now The last time I spoke with rate in probably A few days ago they did say that they use I forget the company I’ve never heard of that but uses their blanks and then they turn them in house same with the gas blocks they make their own minute as those are also center curved to prevent any sort of gas block miss alignment I assume they do that because it got to be a tight tight seal to run well and the tighter the seal the less gas it needs to operate sort of similar to the way it’s our men’s proprietary barrel system and gas system is And a sure fire 308 warcomp 3p used ctn on mid lengths and hotter ammo You’ll get some flame jets out of there once in a while. I’m thinking muscle in the wise maybe I might go to a dead air Sandman or something using the attachment or whatever I do worry about the surefire suppressor fitting when normally I don’t do a half inch offset it I’ll do .7 to 1 inch in a lot of people are like oh happen and you have that I’m just gonna have to test shit out once I receive and then see if I should go with a different kind of suppressor I just think it having one brand muzzle device I just noticed sure fire to be quiet if Knights has a smaller 762 or a regular size 762 and their cutie maybe but I don’t think that they do I want to have a consistent part of the import of them pack I don’t wanna have to re-zero the rifle every time I shoot it’s a pain in the ass and then takes even if it’s just 10 minutes of time and five minutes of angle to the left and one minute up sweet 10 clicks and then one up but then the next time you have nine clicks to the right three clicks up but when the suppressor mounts up the same way every time no issues you put of impact isn’t going to be much different when your POANPI but certain directs the red I have major issues like that man if you don’t have a wrap for your suppressor using mittens to buy if you you do want to take your surprise her off when you get home you might not be able to if you have to open the lock and collar and then shoot a round through and the pressure will shoot your suppressor off like 10 feet pretty cool

[@pipelayinplumber269]

What butt stock is that, and did your safety selector come colored?

[@jeffszakacs7508]

Hopefully 416r stainless Noveske 300 blk barrel is worth the price and recently saw seals using select fire novesle 416r barrels you’re going to really wear it out select fire because the firing schedule but they could have their armor just swap the barrel out every however many thousand rounds and the group is opening up yeah I want to end up shooting a smoothbore rifle when you’ll see it at the throat end at the end using a borescope Heyyy noveske barrel in a radian Or Proof research it’s already 416 are and it’s going to be a heavy done anyway I’m not trying to make it a lightweight gun so I decided to not go with a light weight profile I want with a regular profile anyone have anything on the company in their barrels especially the 300 and I got a 10 1/2 inch big cause I don’t see much of a difference putting yet at 11 1/2 or 12 1/2 in ballistic damage and velocity I feel like 9 to 10.5 is like 14 5 to 20 inch for a 556 caliber only my personal opinion but in a home defense scenario I’d be using 300 subs surprised especially having a nine-year-old daughter got to keep her safe but until the police arrive during an emergency you’re responsible for your own safety in your home and does it mean always just be a victim no what I would do is already have the scenario set up if someone comes in from one way or another way or both ways or this way that way I check my outdoor cameras and after calling the police I have a run to my next-door neighbors house who is lieutenant colonel in the United States Army he might come over and give me a little assistance while his wife takes care of my child and if our country goes the way keeps going I’m gonna end up buying my daughter a fucking bulletproof vest and backpack like you put a plate carrier in the backpack turn it around and it’s a vest at least from the front but it’s because criminals there’s more crime now after Covid and I retarded president but we’ve always had a lot of crime home invasion break-ins etc. looting but it’s a little bit different this time especially with social media one thing make it viral to out and within an hour you got 1 million people that watched whatever video of whatever happened whether it was a police officer traffic stop but a lot of the time they cut an edit totally show oh please sir I didn’t do anything oh well you just killed your neighbor your neighbors children your parents your siblings and Charlotte various other neighbors that’s why you leaving your house and people got upset saying police brutality because this larger African-American top goes kaboom boom with a kick and drops the kid it’s like don’t walk up to me don’t get my space stay in arms distance away and the kid in and caboodle all the round with a nice kick to the chest I love it but shit I did fucking shot the kid he did have a gun on him they had to cut it out of his pants surprisingly it didn’t accidentally discharged into his nuts as they were trying to take it out and “accidentally ““ well shit that’s what happens when you have a gun hidden inside of your fucking pants ending up with a negligent discharge but I doubt anything will come of it as how are you supposed to get a fire alarm out render it safe with it being inside like almost like they had it cut it out of the shorts who is the fat fucking like cut the damn shorts off first I just watch the video cupcakes attempted murder or murderer and it’s going to be a kid that’s like 18 or 19 and shit I think you got like 60 something years or life in the fucking electric chair I want one of those I’m fine with him just not being in Society

[@jeffszakacs7508]

But as far as Noveske barrels for 300 anyone

[@realworldmotivation365]

I don’t like the billet upper.
