Radical Firearms factory tour

[@marksini3598]

Purchased a Radical AR recently. Being a retired machinist I am very impressed with this firearm.

[@JW-fq1pp]

Bought 2 uppers from them a number of years ago. The 16" in 7.62x39 ran great until I tried HPs, heavy duty springs in the mags solved that. The 7" in 5.56 handguard was off center. Once I realized that I took it back and they replaced it free of charge. Zero issues with Radical.

[@GearReportFirearms]

I've known them for years. Cool folks! Thanks for watching!

[@fleatactical7390]

My two favorite companies! Radical Firearms and Primary Arms!!!

[@ftswarbill]

*It's amazing how many guns they pump out from a smaller type of factory. They really have their act together.*

[@joshmajor8662]

I called them personally and received nothing but a positive experience!! Talked to these two personally and the owner/guy running it. They resolved my issue without hesitation!!! Not sure why people are shitting on em Lol my 10.5 has been perfect!! I’m over 2,000 rounds and adding to that count today Lol

[@kommander1440]

Bought my first rifle RF15 for my 18th birthday, 400 rounds in and no jams or malfunctions. Great rifle!

[@GearReportFirearms]

Take care of it and it will take care of you. Thanks for watching!

[@killstroke7492]

I absolutely love my 300 blackout made by radical! Great gun great company!

[@ricardobbblanco]

Thanks Radical Firearms.

[@GearReportFirearms]

They were very gracious to allow the tour.

[@JacobAnaya369]

I am absolutely in love with my RF AR15 it eats any round I put through it and it’s by far my favorite rifle that I own so far! I’ll be looking into getting some other products from RF I’m very pleased with the quality, fit and finish and it’s been durable and reliable so far! I seriously can’t complain at all.

[@fleatactical7390]

I love mine too. First rifle I ever bought based on so many great reviews. Check out their AR-10s and move up to a MAN'S rifle.

[@Cheetah13]

I bought my first AR today and went with an RF16 AR 15 5.56. Very impressed with the quality at the price. Thanks guys.

[@GearReportFirearms]

Great to hear! We are fans of RF as well. One of my first AR uppers was from them. It was used extensively in early testing at Gear Report.

[@fleatactical7390]

My first AR was an RF as well. Still my baby!

[@coloradoguns]

Had my 10.5 ARP for 1 year and put 800 rounds through it ! Flawless !!!!! We appreciate quality American made products 🇺🇸

[@GearReportFirearms]

They seem like good folks who do good work. :) Thanks for watching!

[@cakeoid]

I helped wirh the electrical installations back when they only had the one shop then expanded to the others..my cousin still does their electrical there till this day. Shout out my next a.r will be from them..

[@GearReportFirearms]

Nice! They seem like a pretty cool company to work with.

[@erijavec]

Bought my first AR from RF! I’m happy to buy from these people 👏👏👏

[@GearReportFirearms]

Outstanding! Thanks for watching!

[@JeffreyJohnston724]

I like the fact that when you told them you would block certain things out you kept your word . I am sure there were things other computers dont need to see or online nuts.

[@GearReportFirearms]

Not our first rodeo. Gotta protect their IP if we expect brands to let us in. :)

[@Tuffdaddy1958]

I have purchased several Radical AR’s and love them ,even though they seem not to like steel ammunition so much for the money saved I can shoot brass.The ones I have are good reliable firearms👍

[@campingadventures8760]

I’m very happy with my rf15 nice job guys.

[@GearReportFirearms]

They did well. Glad you are happy

[@_Bucky]

I purchased a Radical Ar pistol some time ago, ran 400 rounds through it no problem, very please with it. Made some modifications and upgrades, I definitely want to get another in a different platform.

[@GearReportFirearms]

Happy to hear it worked out for you. Thanks for watching!

[@fleatactical7390]

Try their AR-10. And move up to a man's rifle! LOL

[@richardwebb371]

Primary arm also in Houston... Glad to live within an hour....

[@RayFinkle22266]

I bought a fostech echo trigger for mine I hope it’ll work in it

[@GearReportFirearms]

It should. I have a fostech echo in a standard ar. Should work in any ar with proper lowers dimensions.

[@peterreily1490]

Dave and John are mad cool at radical. I call him my buddy, but my brother in law talks highly of both of them. I sure hope I got their names right.

[@GlockMan-oj2ik]

Who makes the barrels

[@theheatmagazine]

Cool I want one that's not painted that silver look cool 😎

[@GearReportFirearms]

the cans? I don't know if they offer them in different colors. I'm sure you could ask them. :) Thanks for watching!

[@fliporphil1335]

I see ALOT of familiar stuff....CNC machines, calipers, go-no-go pins! I work at General Dynamics & it's cool to see the into workings of a company & it's similarities do to sector.

[@GearReportFirearms]

Right on

[@jeffwerner1291]

I worked for Ruger in Prescott, AZ for many years up until a year ago. It brought back some great memories.. I thought Ruger was the only one who used the no go pins, but I guess not. Did alot of maching slide work, so it was cool seeing some similar stuff. The plant I worked at was on a much larger scale, but was cool to watch.

[@travist3379]

I'm certainly no expert, but the sparks from the can I would have assumed was a baffle strike. I don't have experience with Radical, but my LGS carries their products so I may have to go by there tomorrow and look at a couple samples

[@GearReportFirearms]

Didn’t feel or hear a strike. It was a short barreled 223. So, a still burning powder flash is expected. 😎

[@digitalnuggets3866]

titanium is prone to sparking, its not a baffle strike

[@puckaneer]

Hey! The video is back from YT jail! Congrats!

[@GearReportFirearms]

Gotta thank @clovertac

[@MrT13]

I bought a cheap rad ar in x39. Wouldn’t chamber anything but certain fmj. No 124sp. No ppu sp. no black. No 3371 ras. No 154 sp. I tried about 10 different things in it and it closed on 2 if I remember right. So I put a ar stoner barrel in it and got rid of it. Just fyi…

[@MrT13]

Oh and it didn’t close on a go or no go gauge… never even shot it until new barrel.

[@GearReportFirearms]

What did RF say about the ammo that wouldn’t chamber?

[@MrT13]

@@GearReportFirearms I never contacted them or asked so I dunno. A barrel is like 80$ and I got everything I need to change it out in what 10 minutes so I saw it didn’t chamber a couple of rounds I have worth a fk. So I just said welp get what you pay for. Put it back in the safe pulled out my phone and ordered a barrel. It shot fine after that… lol.

[@MrT13]

@@GearReportFirearms I mean honestly it’s still a x39 ar for 550$ After you put a different barrel in it. Unless you exclusively only want to shoot 1995-2005 ish brown bear. Or Tula 123’s. If I remember right lol. If you want to shoot 3371’s or 154’s or blacks well, you’re gonna need a barrel… still worth it I suppose.

[@MrT13]

I actually still have the barrel I believe. If they care and want it. But to me, a 16” x39 ar barrel is very likely to come across Tula 154’s… so… is what it is.

[@tomtierney3812]

Radical QC is TERRIBLE. It's low price is due to a cheaply made weapon using cheap materials.... Their "so called "customer service" is non-existent.

[@joshmajor8662]

Not true at all!!! Haha 😂 I talked to the owner and these two guy’s personally, they legitimately called me personally when I had an issue. Issue was ammo related but still, they were on the ball when I needed em 🤷‍♂️

[@damienthomas6655]

i had to stop watching cause that BING SOUND EVERYTIME YOU PUT SOMETHING UP ON SCREEN WAS REALLY ANNOYIN THE HELL OUT OF MY BRAIN AND HURTING MY EARS .

[@GearReportFirearms]

HOW DO YOU REALLY FEEL?

[@robm5903]

Bought one and jams like crazy, junk

[@GearReportFirearms]

Talk to RF. They’ll sort it out.

[@Alop777]

Invest in some new springs and it may run okay. Buffer spring and buffer, upgrade your BCG and definitely polish trigger assembly. Good luck!

[@sycodad4483]

The finish on my rail is pretty rough. Other than that I like it. I put a Franklin binary trigger in it before i even shot it. Runs perfect. about 800 rounds thru it. Fires every time.

[@GearReportFirearms]

Gotta love the binary trigger!

[@fleatactical7390]

That's what I tell others when I recommend them (RF) as a first rifle. It runs as hard as the day is long, but it's not going to be silky smooth in your hands. That's the difference in price. But hey, we're men, right? We don't need dainty toys... we need tough TOOLS.

[@f0lks597]

My second AR is RF-15 . Honestly pretty reliable and well quality budget rifle .

[@GearReportFirearms]

Nice!
