With the AR-15 being one of the most dominant platforms on the market, it’s always good to find a solid deal on one. Radical Firearms has been making waves the past few years with several affordable variants of the RF-15. We have a shipment of two Radical RF-15 models that you should check out if you’re thinking about adding another – or a first! – AR to your collection. 
 

Meet the RF-15

The Radical Firearms RF-15 features a 16-inch barrel, a mid-length gas system, and a free-float M-LOK rail. The barrel is a standard profile with an A2-style flash hider. The mid-length gas system is a great pairing for a 16-inch barrel. It offers a lighter recoil impulse, a smoother cycle, and prevents over-travel of the bullet. Over time, carbine-length gas systems are harsher on the receiver with a 16-inch barrel. 
 

These rifles use standard AR controls that are not ambidextrous. RF-15s feed from AR-pattern magazines and feature a full-length top rail for mounting sights, optics, pressure pads, or any other accessories that the user needs. 
 

Radical Firearms pairs B5 Systems furniture with its rifles – a fantastic move considering B5 has some of the best furniture on the market. The pistol grip is at a more natural angle for the wrist and is void of the pointless ledge for the middle finger. The B5 stock is adjustable, with QD sling cups and a wide cheek weld like that of a SOPMOD stock.
 

Variants

Guns.com currently has a big batch of two different Radical Firearms rifles. The first is the standard RF-15 with FDE furniture. This model features a free-float M-LOK rail with FDE rubber M-LOK grip inserts and includes one 30-round steel magazine. 
 

The other rifle is the RF-15 SOCOM RPR, which features the Radical Parallelogram Rail. This new rail design is thin and sports M-LOK slots on both sides and the bottom. While the furniture is black to match the finish, it is still B5 Systems. This rifle also includes one steel 30-round magazine.
 

Summary

If you can find a good deal and save some money on a solid firearm, you’ll be able to invest in more ammo for training. It doesn’t matter if you have the most expensive AR on the market, or the cheapest: if you don’t train, the rifle will never achieve its capabilities. So dry fire, grab some ammo, hit the range, and master the craft.
