Meet the do-everything premium upper that’s tuned for accuracy, reliability, and modern accessories. The Radian Weapons Complete Upper (R0466) combines a 223 Wylde chamber with a 14.5-inch barrel that’s pinned and welded to 16-inch overall length, giving you the compact handling of a 14.5 with the legal simplicity of a 16" rifle. The mid-length gas system smooths recoil and reduces parts stress, while the Radian Enhanced BCG and Raptor-SD charging handle keep the action running clean—especially when suppressed. A slim 14" free-float M-LOK® handguard maximizes sight radius and mounting options, and the durable FDE Cerakote ties it all together for a hard-use, low-glare finish.

Why Builders Choose This Radian Upper

• 223 Wylde accuracy & flexibility: Shoots .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO safely, with a match-friendly throat for excellent precision across common bullet weights.

• Pinned 14.5" = 16" OAL: Enjoy shorter handling with rifle-length legality—no timing jigs or pin/weld work required.

• Mid-length gas = smoother impulse: Optimal dwell and port timing for flat shooting, fast follow-ups, and reduced wear.

• KeyMo-ready out of the box: Dead Air KeyMo Flash Hider offers excellent flash reduction and instant compatibility with KeyMo mounts and suppressors (where legal).

• Raptor-SD charging handle: Ported, ambidextrous design vents excess gas away from your face—ideal for high-round-count and suppressed use.

• Enhanced BCG reliability: Radian’s carrier and bolt geometry drive smooth tracking, consistent lock-up, and long-term durability.

• 14" free-float M-LOK® rail: Anti-rotation interface, long top rail for optics + BUIS, and abundant M-LOK® slots for lights, laser/IR, QD cups, and grips.

• FDE Cerakote durability: Solvent- and abrasion-resistant coating that pairs cleanly with FDE or black lowers and accessories.

Build Highlights

• Barrel: 14.5" 223 Wylde, 1:8 twist stabilizes ~55–77gr loads; pinned/welded device yields 16" OAL

• Gas System: Mid-length, tuned for reliability and softer recoil impulse

• Muzzle Device: Dead Air KeyMo Flash Hider, suppressor-interface ready

• Handguard: 14" free-float M-LOK®, slim profile, full-length Picatinny on top

• Charging Handle: Radian Raptor-SD, ambidextrous, gas-relieving

• Bolt Carrier Group: Radian Enhanced BCG, HP/MPI bolt (typical), premium staking and finish

• Finish: FDE Cerakote on receivers/handguard for corrosion resistance and low glare

• Compatibility: Standard AR-15 lowers (rifle configuration ≥16" OAL)

Compliance Note: Barrel is pinned/welded to achieve 16" OAL. Always verify your local, state, and federal firearm regulations for your final configuration.

Ideal Use Cases

• General-purpose rifle build: Balanced length for home, range, and training—fast handling without SBR paperwork.

• Suppressed setups: Raptor-SD + mid-length gas + KeyMo flash hider create a strong foundation for KeyMo-compatible cans.

• Training & duty: Free-float rail space for white light + optic + IR; smooth recoil for faster strings and better split times.

• Accuracy-minded range carbine: 223 Wylde chambering extracts precision from both 5.56 and .223 loads.

Setup Tips

1. Buffer system: Pair with a quality carbine or A5 buffer/spring; many shooters favor H/H2 for smooth cycling on gassed-right uppers.

2. Optic & zero: A 50/200-yard zero works well; confirm holds at 10, 100, and 300 yards with your chosen ammo.

3. Accessory layout: Mount a two-point QD sling, 12 or 3/9 o’clock light, and consider an offset BUIS for LPVOs.

4. Suppressor notes: Always confirm concentricity and mount torque per Dead Air specs before live-fire.
