Radian, Anyway to get a Raptor-SD with RED handles? Also, will the 6.5" hand guards be available on the 3rd? I'll be putting in my builders kit order on the 3rd when the lowers are available again. Thanks! |

So, I recently picked up an ADAC lower that I ordered back in November as I've heard good things and wanted to try one out. After I brought it home, I finished it out, and replaced a Noveske GenIII lower (my preferred lower for builds/rifles) on my SPR.
All I can say is that it is one damn fine piece of kit. Form, function, fit, finish....all exceptional. It is not a complete rifle, so I won't post pics in the thread....but you guys absolutely nailed it. And I'm a convert. This is THE way. |

Not digging the longer, lighter barrel look. Think I’ll have to go back.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The builders kits will basically have everything pictured. Upper, lower, handguard, barrel nut, lower proprietary parts kit & Talon safety, dust cover, forward assist, takedown pins, and Raptor SD charging handle. Prices will depend on length. Feel free to email me at the address in my signature for specific prices. You guys would crush it there. Only 45min north!

Had my Radian for a few years now. 16 inch, Radian Brown, Surefire Warcomp CTN instead of the Silencer Co FH. It mostly sat in my pelican after deployment, and didnt shoot it since ammo in Alaska costs so much. So, I always pushed back shooting, and not bringing back ammo with me from my home of record. Started shooting it consistently every weekend about two months ago, and the rifle hasnt disappointed. I would post pics, but my rifle is stored off post at a buddies house, and the base is on lockdown with the current pandemic. I just rock an EXPS3 on it and getting ready to throw a Modlite PLH on her. The lower, and ambi controls for the price, especially a MIL/ LE discount makes pricing very competitive. It makes going with Radian a no brainer for the discount alone. With that price, in my opinion it beats any rifle out there. A KAC SR15 would probably be the only other contender in my eyes, and thats a different use rifle as some would argue.
Now, the only thing Im trying to solve is if I should go with Radian again for a 11.5 build. That MCX Virtus Pistol or a SR15 Pistol sounds very appealing as a hard use carbine. Price is also similar. |

As for the 11.5 build I would say those are all stellar options, and to me it would really come down to personal preference. If you're leaning towards another Model 1 when we release our 11.5, shoot me an email at the address in my signature and I'll get an order set up for you. |

I put in an order for an upper receiver/handguard combo to go with my lower on the 31st. I can't wait to get it and complete my Radian rifle. I'm loving my Radian lower so far. The ADAC is a game changer for me. I have a feeling it won't be my last one...

Quote HistoryQuoted: Radian is Very nice but they are NOT better than LMT... Top Tier along with LMT/KAC but also a entirely different type of rifle. Radian uses a stainless steel barrel instead of a Chrome lined one. The Radian Rifle is also not built to be a light rifle - the handguard/barrel system is quite heavy compared to other Mlok uppers. TO me...Radian Model 1 seems like more of a precision rifle than one built specifically for combat. But what do i know. I definitely do want one - really I just want that ADAC lower. I've had a AXTS lower since they made them. In on first pre-order that took forever, a few years later they changed their name to Radian. I built my own and have several thousand rounds through the lower and zero problems. I've also had several other of the rifles you've named. They are all the same mostly except for the ADAC feature and the aesthetics. I sold the other rifles and only have 2 now and my go to is the AXTS/Radian (lower only, the rest is Geissele, Battle Arms and Faxon) for the features and looks. Barrels can be swapped, that's why most of us like the AR platform. Arguing whether a rifle is better than another because of the barrel is nonsense. It's all in how you build it and use it. Experience can out shoot an expensive stick with a cheap one, doesn't matter the name. Now quality can be dickered over and while LMT and KAC make a quality product they aren't always focused on flawless machining. Seen many with minor defects, never seen a AXTS/Radian with flaws. I say to each their own, why bother with the pissing contest?

Would like a Radian hat tho. Ordered 2 AXTS hats right before the changed the name and logo
. Collectors items I guess. Haven't been on in a while, nice to see them with a new thread. They took down the old AXTS thread.

Our Radian hats have been selling like crazy as of late and it will be a while before we get more in. I have one of these sitting on my desk if you would like to order it: https://radianweapons.com/apparel/radian-trucker-hat-flag Just shoot me an email (in my signature) and I will hook you up plus some stickers. |

Would love one, will order in the future. Would be sweet to see a woodland camo, black mesh trucker hat with a big red Radian logo on it. I'd be in for a couple. Keep up the good work, have Talons and Raptors on both my rifles. I have an original Raptor, no laser engraving, came with the AX556. I remember the FFL guy saying "ohh, that's sweet. Gonna be very popular." Great to see you guys representing here in the forums. Like I said its been while since I've been on.

We were actually discussing new hats with some camo options the other day, so that might be happening. I am a camo hat guy myself so I'm definitely pushing for that
