So instead of fixing the situation to make it right they chose to cover it up?
Not the kind of company I chose to buy guns from. |

Send that motherfucker to me
I'm currently unemployed, and will give that gun a harder ride that Amy Winehouse. Let the empty cartridges fall where they may. |

So what were the problems the reviewer found?
The post link had no specifics. |

my 10.5 has run fine for last 10 yrs, ive heard people say bolts break when peoples bcm bolts broke, so why not that with Rf. you dont buy cheap shit expecting bcm quality, but looks like some of you do.

Whew...glad I stumbled upon this thread. I assumed they were gtg, since Primary Arms carries them. Intended to place an order for two pistols, this evening.

WOW that is a shitty thing to do RF.
I have a RF 8.5 inch 300AAC and never had a problem with it and just this week i have been thinking of getting a 10.5 inch 5.56 i can tell you who i will not be looking at for the upper now. |

Fuck those guys. View Quote No shit. They asked for an honest unbiased review and they were upset they got a review that didn't go their way? They went so far as to fuck with the guy at his job that was in no way part of the review process. Major, major dick move. Fuck Radical Firearms. |

Quoted:
did I read that right? They shipped the reviewer a rifle and then realized they didn't send him a SPECIAL one for the review? So they know they have a quality problem, but wanted to hide this by sending a better than normal quality rifle to the reviewer? I call shenanigans. View Quote More than likely built with non Radical Firearms parts. |

With all of the good reputable manufacturers out there why would someone take a chance on a fly by night shop like this?
You can get a PSA CHF gun for the same price |

I bought one RF barrel for a pistol build. It had the worst accuracy I'd ever seen. 12" groups at 50 meters. It made the Mini 14 look like a damn match grade rifle. Never again...even for a "just for fun" gun.

The RF complete upper my dad bought has been solid so far.
But this isn't the only douchebag thing I've heard about RF. Don't think we'll be going back. Shame because they were pretty decent in store and I liked them. |

Hopefully I'm looking at the right Facebook page...they have lots of positive reviews. Waiting for the trainwreck I guess.

Isn't Houston Texas a large shipping port and importer facility e.g. China?

I stopped going to Primary & Secondary and Soldier systems when gun grabbing Hitlery visted team Wendy .
That whole debacle was an eye opener. |

Well, I know one PR guy that needs an ass-kicking... That being said, can someone please explain to me why people buy cheap-ass ARs. I'm aware money doesn't grow on trees, but do you need one that badly that you can't wait and save up to buy something of quality and with a good reputation? View Quote I can only tell you why I bought a cheap-ass AR. I was a broke college student that wanted an AR, so I bought the cheapest kit I could find. Assembled it, shot it, loved it. Proceeded to catch BRD and now have multiple ARs, mainly BCM stuff. A cheap-ass AR served to get me into guns beyond Fudd stuff. I still have that cheap-ass AR and enjoy shooting it. Frankly, it's never failed me. But it's not my "go-to" rifle either. |

Crap, I bought two of their barrels for 99 bucks each from Primary Arms a week ago. Wonder if they will hold up?

A lot of companies that have started up in the past 10 - 15 years refuse to higher a school trained gunsmith because they don't feel it is worth the cost. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

In the tech forums, there have been numerous instances of barrels unscrewing under fire, or untorquing easily from the extensions with muzzle device removal. I have just stood by watching to see how they handle it all. Sounds like a company going through some serious growing pains, without the proper technical expertise to address component selection, materials science, and total quality management. Customer service seems to be hit and miss, with forum members who have visited the location for service saying they wouldn't buy anymore after seeing the condition of their business.

I figured, what other job would care if some dork ass shows up and bitches to your boss about a rifle review. Plus the guy who wrote the blog was a cop so I figure it's really him, not a buddy, or another cop buddy and that's why he's so vague about where the reviewer works. Particularly shitty tactic, wtf justification is there for going to some cop's boss over a rifle review, fucking ass pirate |
