| Anyone have any experience with RA 300 BLK or their 6.5 rifles. Thoughts and opinions? |

When you read enough unfavorable posts, reviews and general articles on one company.... again pretty much all bad, it does not inspire confidence.
This article convinced me there are other companies out there... BEAR IN MIND.... this article is older... so things might be better then what is described in the article. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/08/25/breaking-radical-firearms-steps-line-makes-things-personal/ |

Most of the issues were early on, with one supplier of 300blk barrels they no longer use. I have two of their 300blk uppers never had any issues suppressed unsuppressed, subs supers.
That said their customer service sucks, so if that's important to you, then pick another company. |

I've read all the negatives about Radical Firearms, I still took a chance on their 7.62x39 AR 10" upper and although I've only had it for about 6 months it ran correctly out of the box, appears to be as well assembled as my PSA rifle and the barrel nut appears to be torqued correctly. Look in the Variant forum and you'll find plenty of others with 5 star posts about their RF uppers too.
You don't have to look long to find negatives about PSA or Anderson as well, but I've got two Anderson lowers, two PSA lowers (all built w/PSA parts kits) and two PSA uppers. No issues with any of it, all assembled uppers ran without issue from day one. Only thing I can't comment on is BCGs, except for a 9mm upper with a PSA hybrid BCG the rest of them sport AIM Surplus BCGs. |

Quoted:
I've heard bad stuff about them here, but my dad got an upper from them for a good price, and it's been solid. Broken clock is right twice a day. There have been more than enough examples of them putting out absolute dogshit (loose barrel extensions aren't the only issue they're known for) that I wouldn't risk it. Your money though, do with it as you wish. |
