There are two posts on here, including mine as well as a few youtube videos that cover the quality. Can't speak for accuracy besides the fact I ran about 20 rds at 250 yards and it shot as well as my dpms 16" upper hitting steel all day.

I purchased a Radical 10.5" upper and the fit and finish is very good.
Pins on to the Anderson lower easily and very little to no gaps/wobble. Range - only have shot it at 25 yds but its very accurate at that distance using Wolf Gold 55 grain .223 with one of the new Primary Arms MDS. No problems with failure to feed/eject and bolt stays open on last round. Probably have put 400 rounds thru it now. Here is a pic: |

I've got a 10.5 in 300BO. It shoots fine.
I believe the handguard on mine is from Vector. |

I got mine today. I ordered the 10.5" 5.56. Rail was loose, so I tightened it up. I needed to add a lot of lube, it came BONE dry. Not bad for $250, I guess.

Should be here tomorrow, Tuesday at the latest. Radical Firarms is putting out an excellent product at an excellent price from my experience. My 7.5" eats Tula .223 lke candy, no issues with 600rds and counting

I had weak extraction the first time out, would pull case out of chamber but would not cosistantly throw it out (new BCG). Installed this BCM kit, and it now runs great, never misses a beat with many ammo types!

I have a 10.5" upper in 5.56 on a PSA lower. Just ran 60 rounds of AE through it today (indoor range, wanted to go easy on my fellow shooters). Ops check good. No FTF or FTE. Just the noise and fireball as I'm still just running the standard A2 birdcage.
While it was only 60 rounds I'm confidant that it will be fine. Was fully expecting to have extraction or buffer issues but none surfaced (also running a Radical Firearms BCG). |

I have a Radical Firearms 10.5" upper mated to an Anderson lower. I have about 400 rounds through it so far. The range where I shoot is max'd out at 100 yds. I am very pleased with the accuracy at this range. The quad rail is heavy imo and I just ordered a lightweight 12" handguard today to replace it.

Mine got here today. I put it on an Anderson lower. It looks fine and I agree with the other poster that said the quad rail is heavy. Other than that, no complaints. Used a Spike's LPK and BCG. Tomorrow, I will throw sights on it and see how it shoots.

A few things i noticed was the ejection port cover opens really easy but it stays closed on its own so no big deal. I see a lot of copper colored flecks of metal in the upper like they used some kind of tool inside and didn't clean it up, it wiped off easy just wondering what left copper particles inside. fit and finish is good, a little on the heavy side i was expecting it to be lighter for some reason. I wanted a cheap 300AAC for my truck gun and this upper fit my needs perfectly. |

Guys, help me trouble shoot this. I had to sell a AR, a friend wanted a AR pistol, so I need cash, boom done.
Well it was a new unfired Radical Upper, 10.5". It rode on a Spike's lower with a CMMG parts kit. Not my first or even 10th lower build. I used a Spikes or something pistol buffer tube, spring and buffer. I gave him a new Pmag full of 75gr PPU match. He sent a pic of one case that looked split, and said one was stuck in the barrel, spent casing, not live round. Will try to upload pic he sent. Now I told him to clean and lube it well, use brass ammo, not the good stuff in the mag. So I am assuming he just slapped the mag in and went try shooting it. I can understand a tight gun, not cleaned, not lubed having a hiccup starting, but the PPU seems to have good reviews. I will try to get him to meet me at nearby indoor range. First I will just get the PPU out and take it back, deal with it later. Then I will bore snake, clean and lube well with CLP. I will use some brass I have that a factory loads or M855 stuff. It may be over gassed, so I will take a extractor upgrade kit. I will take the buffer and spring from a know good 10.5 from a friends build. I will take a new bolt from a friend. I have to get this working. The upper was bought from LGS, and un fired. But I sold it to him, and spent the money on bills and buying tablets for parents that could not afford it for the kids. So, yeah I feel like a ass, my friend is looking to me to make it right. I told him everything I knew about the build. I hid nothing, but still I was worried all night about making this right. Worst case the upper goes back to LGS and the ammo from same LGS. Anything else to check?

was it cleaned and test fired before he got it?
i know my complete radical pistol had definantly been test fired before delivery. my first thought is it need a clean and lube. never mind after looking at that brass it appears you had a case failure and that could certainly cause an extraction issue. what does the primer look like on that round. |

That however looks to be a bad round. I could see a failure to eject from a new dry upper that was never lubed but it wouldn't cause a case failure like that. Tell him to lube it up and try again with different ammo. |

Well at first my Radical 7.5 upper worked great (over 1000 rounds with a problem), until I tried to change out my muzzle device (KX3 pig). When I put it in the upper block on my vice and tried to remove the pig, the barrel came un-screwed from its collar (the part with the nub that goes into the upper) and twisted the gas tube. Now without the right strap wrenches it will not tighten to the point that I will fire it again and the gas port n gas block are not timed right any more. Next time I work on one of these uppers I will vice down the barrel itself and not the upper. I am super bummed that my Radical Firearms upper is now parts-box-junk. Now I am looking into JSE and a few others for a new 7.5 inch upper.

That case clearly shows it was at least 1/4 inch out of battery when it fired look at the neck now look back 1/4 inch, it resizes itself to fit the chamber when it went bang.

When I handed him his Christmas present to himself, I told him it was, new, unfired. I told him it needed to be cleaned and lubed. He does own a AR but I am not certain of the make, so I assumed he knew. 
The magazine he inserted in the rifle was a new, out of the wrapper Pmag, that I had loaded with the 75 Match PPU. He said it was a rough day, so I got my new toy out, walked the deck to do a mag dump in to the berm. 1 round fired and ejected, second round fired, stuck case now. We are going to meet up tomorrow and get it worked out. I am more concerned than he is. I will get the spent casing. I have almost 1K of this stuff. If the round in chamber is split, all the ammo is going back. So no fault of Radical that I see yet, unless the barrel is wrong or the LGS sold me the wrong one. |

Found another thread with an IDENTICAL looking case, many people were speculating it was a 7.62x39 chamber but it was never confirmed http://www.ak47.net/archive/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=643618
RF does sell 7.62x39 10.5" uppers/barrels. |

Now that i think about it i had to laugh at my comment also. It's just in my mind something so small should not feel like it weighs the same as my plane jane PSA build. Quote HistoryQuoted:

nothing personal but i am really kinda getting a chuckle out of the these "heavy" comments. i am pretty much a lard butt couch potato and have no issue with the weight even shooting one handed. Now that i think about it i had to laugh at my comment also. It's just in my mind something so small should not feel like it weighs the same as my plane jane PSA build. that's what I meant by it too, it weighs as much as my Colt 6720. And something that's half the size shouldn't weigh as much. I think it's a combination of the quad rail and the sig brace. |

Took mine out yesterday and ran 20 rounds of M855, 20 rounds of Black Hills 60 grain V-Max, and 20 rounds of Hornady steel cased ammo. No problems at all. It shot a 2" group at 100 yards with the Black Hills and a vortex scope I threw on it just to see what it would do.
The only thing I noticed was the pic rails seem to be a little wider than normal. My Magpul BUIS were really tight sliding them on, and my Larue mount for the scope was really snug. I got them on no problem; they were just tighter than other rails. Great value. |

I'd be cleaning/lubing it, checking the firing pin and any possible obstructions in the barrel. Test fit a round in muzzle just to eyeball the barrel diameter and try again with different ammo. Fails again and straight to Radical that upper would go. |

Just got back form a range trip christmas morning
with my 8.5 inch 300AAC.
It ran great and it is more accurate than i am. I did notice some brass and copper specks in the receiver so im thinking the feed ramps have a sharp edge on it that i need to polish up. I had one failure to feed and it was my fault with reload's i over crimped, i knew the rounds were over crimped i just have a bunch to shoot up and don't want to toss them out. I really like this little gun. |
