Radian Weapons Model 1 Carbine – CA Compliant, .223 Wylde, 10+1, 16" | Radian Black Billet Receiver, M-LOK Handguard, Paddle Grip & Fixed CTR Stock, Dead Air KeyMo Flash Hider, Ambi Controls, Vertex Trigger
Model/SKU: R0259 • UPC: 817093028954
Caliber: .223 Wylde (safely fires .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO) • Capacity: 10+1 • Barrel: 16" • Compliance: California-compliant configuration (verify local laws)
The Radian Weapons Model 1 Carbine (R0259) brings premium, duty-grade performance to a California-compliant platform without sacrificing the precision and ergonomics Radian is known for. Chambered in .223 Wylde for match-grade accuracy with either .223 Rem or 5.56 NATO, this rifle features a 16" barrel, a sleek Radian Black finish on a billet receiver set, and a free-float M-LOK® handguard for rock-solid accessory mounting. A paddle grip and fixed Magpul CTR® stock keep the feature set compliant while maintaining a planted cheek weld and consistent shoulder mount. Add in fully ambidextrous controls, a crisp Vertex Trigger, and a Dead Air KeyMo™ flash hider for suppressor-mount compatibility (where legal), and you have a top-tier carbine configured for restrictive jurisdictions and serious shooters alike.
Why the Radian Model 1 (CA) Stands Out
.223 Wylde precision: Optimized chamber geometry supports superior accuracy potential with both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO ammunition.
Radian billet strength: Precisely machined billet upper/lower deliver tight fit, repeatable accuracy, and long-term durability.
Free-float M-LOK handguard: Improves barrel harmonics and gives you plenty of real estate for lights, sling QD cups, bipods, and hand stops.
Ambi everything: Ambidextrous safety, bolt catch/release, and magazine release enable intuitive manipulations for right- or left-handed shooters and bilateral training.
Vertex Trigger: Clean break and short reset promote faster splits and tighter groups at speed.
Compliance-forward ergonomics: Paddle grip and fixed CTR stock provide stable control while conforming to typical CA feature restrictions.
KeyMo flash hider: Dead Air KeyMo™ interface supports quick suppressor attachment (follow all state/federal laws), while mitigating flash for low-light work.

Magazines: Use 10-round compliant mags; label and rotate to track reliability.
Legal note: Firearm regulations evolve; always confirm current California and local compliance before purchase, modification, or use.
