Radian Weapons Model 1 .223 Wylde AR-15 Complete Upper – 14.5″ – Radian Black Breakfast Review

Radian has been known for the last decade to be one of the premier manufacturers of AR parts and accessories, so we’re excited to see that they’re getting into building upper receivers as well. This is a 14.5” upper receiver with a threaded barrel, topped with a Dead Air Flash Hider. Protecting that barrel is a proprietary aluminum handguard with M-Lok slots at 3,6, and 9 o’clock, and a Picatinny rail running the length of the entire upper and handguard. This Direct Impingement upper promises sub-MOA groups with Black Hills Match Grade Ammunition, and has M4 feed ramps for increased accuracy. The bolt carrier group is M16 style, and, of course, a Randian Raptor charging handle is included. This is, in short, an excellent upper receiver for those who demand the best quality parts available.
