Radical Firearms 300 blk upper?

[Indy-Mike]

Anyone have one of these. $209.95 for a complete 300 ACC upper (w/o BCG and Charging handle) seems like a great deal.

I have the exact one that i got through joe bob outfitters for $179.99 about a year ago. Mine has run great so far, but have only fired about 200 rounds thru to this point.

I've been looking at their 6.5 Grendel upper for about a year without pulling the trigger. Reviews sure are varied. Couple scathing threads on 6.5grendel.com but overall the reviews seem positive especially given the price.

I have a 16" 556 radical upper. Runs perfect on two different lowers. One of the allen screws on the quad rail came buggered up other than that it looks great.

I did a review of one of their uppers in 5.56 and I was very impressed with how well it shot. Accuracy was very nice as well as fit n finish...

I have the radical 16" upper in 300bo. not one complaint, found mine at Cheaper than Dirt for $209. It shoots everything I've put in it and does it well. It is a little heavier than other uppers I've handled.

No complaints about their quality, but damn are their uppers heavy.

Guess that's why they don't have weights listed on their website.

A lot of smack talk on a 300BLK Facebook group I'm in about Radical. Lots of people say they are junk, can't hit the broad side of a barn, customer service is crap, yadda yadda.

That being said, I have an 8" upper that has run flawlessly and shoots my reloads with plenty of accuracy for my purpose. I have been very pleased with mine.

I have a 16" upper from Radical and I love that thing. I shoot my 300 BLK upper more than I shoot my 5.56 upper. No complaints from this end. I have done nothing but recommend their uppers to anyone I talk to. Very reasonable price and they run as good as any other.

Last time out I could cover 5 shots with a quarter. Good enough for me.

What at makes their uppers so heavy? Extra beefy Hand guard or what?

I'd guess barrels with little or no profiling.

Hand guard is HEAVY

I have 2 Radical's; 1 10.5" 5.56 that is unfired and 1 16" 7.62x39 that shot a 1" group at 100 using Hornady Black ammo. As of now I have no complaints.

I have their 10.5” 300 Blackout upper. Seems well made and I can easily shoot nice groupings with it. The handguard is nice for what it is, but not my cup is tea. I seem to prefer polymer handguards over metal.

I just saw this thread pop up. I cannot comment as to their upper, however I have a friend who purchased one of their barrels (very cheap and a 10.5" I believe) and it was fantastic. I was very very impressed by it, even more so when looking at the cost.
