Why Builders Choose the AX556
True ambidexterity built-in: Mirrored controls for safety, mag release, and bolt catch/release streamline reloads, lock-backs, and malfunction clears whether you’re right- or left-handed—or switching shoulders around barricades.
Billet precision & rigidity: CNC machined from quality 7075-T6 aluminum (receiver set), the AX556 delivers tight tolerances, superior fit, and a consistent bedding surface for accuracy-focused builds.
Pro-level ergonomics: Enhanced magazine well geometry, flared magwell, and clean control placement reduce fumbles and speed up reps under timer or stress.
Duty-tough finish: Cerakote® Black resists abrasion, solvents, sweat, and weather, maintaining a professional, low-glare appearance.
Handguard included: The slim 15.5" M-LOK® free-float rail maximizes sight radius and accessory real estate while preserving barrel harmonics for better precision.
Premium components in the box: The Radian Talon™ safety (45°/90° configurable) and hammer pin simplify parts sourcing and align with Radian’s quality standard.

Build Tips (Get the Most from Your AX556)
Barrel & gas system: Choose a quality, properly headspaced barrel/bolt; verify gas length and porting for your intended ammo.
Trigger interface: The AX556 pairs beautifully with premium single- or two-stage triggers; confirm pin size and torque to spec.
Mounting optics: The continuous Pic rail supports red dots + magnifiers or LPVOs; confirm mount height for your cheek weld.
Torque & threadlocker: Use manufacturer torque values on handguard/receiver screws; apply blue threadlocker and witness mark.
Compliance note: Firearm laws vary by state—verify current regulations before assembly, configuration, and use.
