I have a radical arms rf15 and after my first 200 rounds, I became under gassed and started short cycling. Started checking it out and found that the gas key on the BCG was stripped and just turning. Put in my buddies BCG and worked flawlessly. Contacted radical via email and they were very quick to respond. Sent out my BCG and got it back. I’m only 60 miles from their HQ so shipping is pretty fast to say the least. They swapped it out, no questions asked. Amazing company. Houston, Texas based for the win!

I also swapped to a Magpul MOE+ ( rubber over molded grip, )Charging handle, and an MFT stock…the stick that comes with it does have a QD mount in the stock as does the minimalist stock …you have to buy the QD mount for the M-loc to able to mount your sling to the hand gaurd…and I also added a muzzle brake… still works perfectly with no issues

I have an AR15 pistol 10.5 7.62x39 that came with an MLOCK hand rai. I Lower receiver is radical obviously. upper is Aero precision. What slot of people have they’re first issues are not oiling up a brand new AR. And that causes a lot of failure to feed and think it’s a million things wrong at some point but just try and oil your pistol/rifle. AR15s are so much easier to deal with when they run wet. I couldn’t get mine to shoot a round with out having to pull that charging handle every single shot. I didn’t know what to do but I tried the most basic and simplest thing a lot of people forget. Always lube up a brand new AR and if need get a new buffer tube and heavier weight. At the end of the day you need to remember you get what you pay for and all I did was just get new buffer tube and heavier weight plus I oiled my pistol and rifle a little extra wet.. oh man does AR love running wet

Nice video, just a good hands on review... My kid walked up while I was watching (thanks for keeping it clean) and commented how you looked like me... well dang if you don't, you could be my doppelganger with a little more grey on top. We even dress the same (comfortable) and both could use to lose a few pounds. You certainly move better than me. Anyhoo, I have just got my FR-15 and waiting on iron sights. Hope it shoots as good as yours. First AR so I am doing the YT gambit looking at tips and info to learn a little about these odd lego things that can be tailored thousands of ways. Can't say I am a fan of the look of these guns, but dang I wanted to see what the fuss was about... I usually am a wood stock kinda fellow, but believe in freedom of course. Plus as I get older some of my stuff gets painful to shoot and carry, so lightweight is a plus. Subbed (and I don't sub much and log in even less), btw... your dad wouldn't happen to be a smart electrician fellow would he????? You didn't have a twin that they told you died at birth? Just checking. 🙂

On mine the Hand Guard tensioning bolts were not making good contact and it would move just far enough to touch the barrel . causing accuracy issues. i replaced a a counter sunk torx style i think belong to a scope ring i had and it made it supper sturdy . ill be testing it again tomorrow to see how it performs . it wouldnt group for crap.

@Sherwood Defense hahaha so true. Bit it's no longer a budget AR. I replaced the trigger with a Timmey and awaiting arrival of a match barrel . This will transom it into a really decent shooter. I couldn't even achieve 1.5 moa when first got it. Compared to my other AR build it is easily 1Moa all day long with Hormady Ammo. I tried 5 different types of ammo and I simply couldn't get it to group decent .

No, I do not believe it is Chrome lined. One thing I will say is that Chrome lined barrels do last long BUT they are less accurate than the several non-lined versions produced today. The other thing I would add is that there are really very few folks that will ever shoot out ANY barrel beside military. Chrome lined barrels are something that was originally requested by the military simply for barrel longevity and there are other treatments producing better accuracy that last essentially as long a chrome lined barrel.

The real answer depends on what your prospective use would be. Hunting, Self Defense or Target Shooting. There is no canned answer for that. Tell me what you want to do and I can guide you in the right direction and give you some options that could fit most budgets.
