Radian Model 1 Complete Upper

The Radian Model 1 complete upper represents the convergence of precision engineering, match-grade accuracy, and ambidextrous functionality in a premium AR-15 platform. Each Model 1 is assembled by hand, one at a time, by trained gunsmiths who inspect, test fire, and clean the weapon before shipping. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that every upper meets Radian's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when paired with Black Hills match-grade ammunition, a testament to the precision machining and component selection.

The billet-machined 7075-T6 upper receiver features M4 feed ramps and represents Radian's commitment to no-compromise manufacturing. The match-grade barrel is crafted from 416R stainless steel—a material specifically chosen for its combination of accuracy potential and corrosion resistance. Chambered in .223 Wylde to provide optimal accuracy with both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, the barrel features a polished crown and feed ramps. Available in 14.5", 16", and other configurations, the barrels utilize a 1:8 twist rate ideal for modern projectile weights.

Radian's proprietary extended aluminum handguard integrates seamlessly with the upper receiver via a stainless steel anti-rotation pin, creating a rigid platform for accessory mounting through the Magpul M-LOK modular mounting system. The complete upper includes Radian's enhanced black nitride M16 bolt carrier group and the acclaimed Raptor-SD ambidextrous charging handle with large profile latches for enhanced manipulation. This combination of precision components, rigorous quality control, and ambidextrous ergonomics positions the Model 1 as a premium choice for shooters demanding match-grade accuracy and refined handling.
