Radical Firearms FR-16 .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO Semi-Auto Rifle

Product Description

The Radical Firearms FR-16 is a semi-auto AR-15 rifle in .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO with a 16" barrel and a 30-round magazine. It wears an M81 woodland camo finish with B5 Bravo furniture.

It is a full-featured AR for range days, home defense or a first AR. The free-float rail gives you room to add lights, grips and other gear.

Barrel and handguard

The 16" barrel has a 1:7" twist and a 1/2×28 threaded muzzle with an A2 flash hider. A 1:7 twist handles both light 55 grain loads and heavier match bullets. The handguard is a 15" free-float M-LOK thin rail.

Add a red dot or low-power scope, a sling and a few spare PMAGs. Stock up on 5.56 or .223 ammo for practice. The 1/2×28 thread also lets you mount a 5.56 suppressor, such as a direct-thread can made for that pitch.
