They have some great deals but have never done business with them.

I will let you know when my upper comes in. I spoke with them on the phone and did some research but found nothing bad.
|
|
Did you receive/shoot your upper yet?
My brother seems hell bent on buying their .300 Blackout pistol upper and like you I have been seeking reviews. I will admit at $250.00 they are super inexpensive but I hope they are not a 4-6 MOA upper in the performance department.... |
|
Any update or other comments on their quality? Primary Arms sells them which is a mark of praise IMO.
Pricing is spot on with PSA for the most part - I just wonder how one of their barrels would compare with a PSA premium FN barrel. |
|
Primary Arms seems to be featuring a lot of their products - if PA backs it, I'm willing to bet it's good to go.

I ordered a 5.56 10.5" upper from them this past weekend. As others have said, the pricing is in line with PSA, DSA and primary arms sells them. My order is still processing as of today. We will see when it arrives....
Eta... received all nice and wrapped up 2 days after I posted. Put it on a PSA lower, locked up nice and tight. I ordered straight from radical firearms. Broke in the barrel, and sighted in my primary arms micro dot at 50. Great upper, will definitely order again. |
|
Upper arrived and looks great. No scratches or scuffs, rifling is bright and sharp.Can't wait to shoot it this weekend.
|

Threw a Primary Arms micro-dot on top and went to the range this afternoon. Dialed in the red dot at 50 yards, upper functioned flawlessly. Dumped about 100 rounds through it and it ran great. I am very happy with the accuracy given given that I was shooting with a red dot at 50 yards, unsupported. I am tempted to throw a scope on top and see what it can really do one day.

Bringing a bit of an old thread, but I just ordered a 10.5 upper from them (556) to put on my duty rifle.
Was bit nervous about ordering from such a new company, but I figured at this price, I can do the testing myself and see if it holds up to the reliability task I need. They have some really radical (no pun intended lol) handguards coming from seekins which is good. I opted not to get that handguard and got a regular instead as I want to make sure this upper is good to go. I'll update on when I get it. I asked them to do a full auto mag dump if they can so I know it functions well in a m16 lower. Was told 2-4 weeks to build the upper. |

Made it to the range today. Put a Vortex Crossfire 3.5-10x50 scope on top, with a bit better scope may have been able to tighten the groups a bit more. This also has a ACT Combat trigger which is good but not the best for groups. For the price, I am happy with it and would buy again. 50 yards with 69gr SMKs. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-SoZjY-h_VEY/U9QbGiEb6UI/AAAAAAAABRw/oQupVnv0_iw/w913-h685-no/20140726_160111.jpg 100 yards with 69gr and 77gr SMKs. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lLyip5hnxf0/U9QbC08C4LI/AAAAAAAABRg/6hwC0kMktRM/w913-h685-no/20140726_160224.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nYMqXi1ViQo/U9QbEgSLbXI/AAAAAAAABRo/ua8Q2_GWJCE/w913-h685-no/20140726_160156.jpg View Quote 2 inches at 100 yards doesn't sound too promising out of match ammo. but then again, this isn't a match gun/barrel I guess. lol |

For a $300 upper, I am very pleased. I think with higher quality scope and a better rest, groups could easily shrink to 1moa. |

Are the threads concentric? I was thinking about getting a 7.62x39 as an alternate host when 300BLK is too pricey.
|
|
I too have been looking at these 10.5 uppers from Radical Firearms, I am trying to get a longer rail on it.
Any more reviews and pics of thier work? |

I ordered the same one but with the YHM forend. Hoping it will be on the way to my doorstep shortly! Picked up a PSA nickle boron BCG on sale to run with it. I will report back on performance once I am up and running Johnathon, how much does your upper weigh in at if you can answer. Thanks |

Just threw the complete upper on my scale and got 5# 10oz.
This is the 16" carbine with quad rail, with AIM NiB BCG, standard CH with extended latch, PA microdot, Diamondhead iron sights, and TerraLux light/mount. Too lazy to strip it and weigh the upper as received from RF. |

Jonathon, how long did it take your order to ship? Mine said 3-5 BD. I am going on 10 BD and am patient but I really wanting to see this thing. |

I replied to this thread twice now from my phone and it hasn't shown up....
ETA - laptop worked! My upper shipped in 2 or 3 days. Think I had it a week after ordering. If you have a Facebook, take a look at their page - seems they are running behind due to the sale, and not expecting such a rush of orders. |
|
I did see their big sale on pistol AR's. That also was tempting! Sounds like I will just have to wait it out! Thanks
|
|
Woo Hoo! Just had Fed Ex roll up and drop off my new RA upper! Looks super sweet! Will report back on fit and function in a bit!
|
|
Got my 7.5" 300 Blackout in last week. Works great, looks good, and groups pretty well.
|
|
Looks good!
I just finished building my first AR pistol lower today, I may get a Radical upper for it. |

I ordered from them on 8/31.
I sent an email last night asking when I should expect it to be shipped. This morning I got a response. The company or the employee is totally anti-customer service and full of himself. Rather than simply state when I should expect to receive it he dared me to cancel the order. When I called to follow up a salesperson stated "consider your order cancelled" Very Adolescent of them and I will NEVER do business with them again. David Spector does not know how to treat a customer right. |

Just say 6 week lead time and get it over with. If your prices and product ar egood enough we will wait for it then be happy when it gets in early. I also got the dare to cancel me speech but VISA always takes care of me on such matters. |

So if one can buy through primary arms....its good, since you don't have to deal with the company directly, right?

I just got my 8.5 inch 300 blk upper in. Overall looks good. Was looking for an AAC 9 inch upper, but it was out of stock everywhere. So I ordered this, and ordered a 10.5 inch .223 wylde upper from seekins. I won't shoot 300blk often, so it ended up working out well for me. 300 blk ammo prices are pretty high right now. I know I'll shoot 5.56 more often. Either way, For the money, I can't complain. 300 bucks for an upper is definitely the least I've ever spent. If it can group half way decent with my 762sdn6, than i'll be happy. I'll post a pic when my Seekins upper comes in.

I bought a complete 10.5 556 upper from PA,and I bought a 10.5 556 barrel and pistol extension kit from RF direct. CSR's at both places were quick to answer questions and address issues. PA just ships quicker |
