The bolt is also Magnetic Particle Inspected to ensure that there are no cracks or weak spots running through it, and the carrier is made from 8620 Tool Steel and is case hardened… Now, I can say for certain that the FR16’s BCG does feature a full-auto profile, and it has a melonite finish, which as I mentioned before is an excellent finish… If that’s the case, you’re getting an extremely high-quality BCG with your AR-15… Radical Firearms doesn’t really share much information about who makes their bolt carrier groups, but I have heard that Azimuth Technology makes BCGs for Radical Firearms…

I don’t think there’s any reason why you need to change out the A2 flash hider that comes on the FR16 with another muzzle device unless that’s something you want to do (I love personalizing my AR-15s with different accessories)…Īnd because the barrel features a 1/2×28 thread pitch, you can easily install another muzzle device (again, if you want to) or screw on a suppressor if you have one. The A2 flash hider is a good muzzle device because it does a fine job at flash suppression and offers a little bit of muzzle compensation as well… The muzzle device that comes with the FR16 is an A2 Flash Hider.

So it’s nice to see that the FR16 gives you a mid-length gas system because it’s an upgrade that will make your rifle shoot a little bit smoother. Now, carbine-length gas systems can run great on ARs, but generally, a mid-length gas system will run a little bit smoother and create a little bit less recoil on the shooter… The Radical Firearms FR16 features a mid-length gas system, and this is pretty unusual when it comes to budget AR-15s, which typically feature a carbine-length gas system… So overall, I love that the Radical Firearms AR is chambered in 5.56 Nato, and I think the barrel is very good quality. The 1:7 twist rate is generally considered to be better than a 1:9 twist rate, and it does an excellent job at stabilizing heavy bullets. Many budget AR-15s feature a 1:9 twist rate, which typically shoots light bullets well but has problems stabilizing heavy bullets… Last, I like that the FR16’s barrel features a 1:7 twist rate. I also like that you get a SOCOM barrel profile with the RF16 because it’s a little bit heavier profile than a government profile barrel, and SOCOM barrels can tend to be a little more accurate as well… On top of that, the barrel that you get is Melonite finished which is a very strong finish, and it will help protect the inside and outside of your barrel from corrosion… Now the barrel on the FR16 is 16 inches long and made from 4140 Chrome Moly Vanadium…Ĥ140 Chrome Moly Vanadium is a strong barrel material and for a budget AR-15 like the RF16, I think it’s a good choice because it helps keep the cost of the rifle down while still adding a lot of strength to the barrel… 223 Remington rounds safely from your gun… The Radical Firearms FR16 is chambered in 5.56 Nato, and again, that’s a good thing because it will allow you to fire 5.56 Nato and. 223 Remington rounds without any problems at all… 223 Remington cannot safely fire 5.56 Nato rounds… The reason why is because ARs chambered in. When you’re AR-15 shopping, you always want to make sure that you’re rifle is chambered in 5.56 Nato (or. Last, the FR16’s upper comes with M4 feed ramps which will help your AR-15 feed rounds more reliably, especially if you’re shooting a lot of rounds fast…Īnd you get an optic rail, which is pretty standard on AR-15s these days, but it’s an important feature because it will allow you to easily mount a red dot or scope onto your rifle. I disagree with that idea because I use both of these features, and I like to have them on all of my AR-15s… Some budget AR-15s will omit these two features, and there are many people who claim that they’re not important to the AR design or that they’re never used… On top of that, with the Radical Firearms FR16, you get a forward assist and a dust cover… Not all budget AR-15s use forged 7075 T6 aluminum in their uppers, so it’s nice to see that Radical Firearms is using a very robust aluminum… It’s constructed from Forged 7075 T6 aluminum, which is a very strong material and meets military specifications… The Radical Firearms upper receiver is a very high-quality AR-15 upper.
