Why Builders Choose This Radian Upper
223 Wylde Precision: Supports .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO with a match-friendly throat for improved accuracy potential and reliable feeding.
Compact 10.5" Performance: Balanced dwell time on a carbine-length gas system for dependable cycling across a wide range of ammo.
Raptor-SD Charging Handle: Redirects excess gas away from the shooter and gloves—especially helpful on short barrels and suppressed setups.
Enhanced BCG Reliability: Radian’s Enhanced Bolt Carrier Group is engineered for smooth tracking and durability under sustained fire.
KeyMo-Ready Muzzle: The Dead Air KeyMo Flash Hider offers excellent flash mitigation and quick-attach compatibility with Dead Air KeyMo suppressors/adapters (where legal).
Accessory Freedom: 10" free-float M-LOK® handguard keeps your barrel isolated for consistent POI and gives ample rail space for lights, grips, QD cups, and IR devices.
FDE Cerakote: Hard-use coating resists abrasion, solvents, and weather; pairs cleanly with FDE or black lowers and accessories.
Build Highlights
Barrel: 10.5" 223 Wylde, 1:8 twist to stabilize a wide span of projectile weights (typically ~55–77 gr)
Gas System: Carbine length, tuned for dependable function in a short package
Handguard: Slim free-float M-LOK® (approx. 10") with anti-rotation interface and full-length top rail for optics/BUIS
Muzzle Device: Dead Air KeyMo Flash Hider (threaded; suppressor interface)
Charging Handle: Radian Raptor-SD ambidextrous, ported for gas mitigation
Bolt Carrier Group: Radian Enhanced BCG for smooth operation and longevity
Finish: Flat Dark Earth Cerakote on receivers/handguard for corrosion resistance and low-glare durability
Fitment: Standard AR-15 lowers (NFA rules may apply for overall barrel/stock configurations)
Compliance Note: If assembling into a rifle with a barrel under 16", ensure you comply with all federal, state, and local laws (e.g., SBR registration where required).
Ideal Use Cases
Suppressed setups: Raptor-SD + carbine gas + KeyMo flash hider make an excellent foundation for KeyMo-compatible cans.
CQB/defensive training: Short overall length, fast handling, and robust BCG performance.
Patrol & duty builds: Accessory-rich M-LOK® handguard and reliable gas system for professional configurations.
General range use: 223 Wylde chambering extracts accuracy from both .223 and 5.56 loads, keeping costs flexible.
Setup Tips
Torque & align: When adding suppressor devices or rail-mounted sights, follow manufacturer torque specs and verify alignment.
Buffer tuning: Pair with an appropriate buffer/spring for your lower; consider an H/H2 and quality spring for short-gas balance.
Zero strategy: A 50/200-yard zero works well for 10.5" carbines; confirm holds with your chosen ammunition.
Sling & light: Add a two-point QD sling and 12/3/9 o’clock light mount to leverage the long top rail & M-LOK® slots.
