Fully Ambidextrous AR-15 Controls

Radian is known for top-tier ambidextrous designs, and the Model 1 R0851 carries that DNA throughout the rifle: Impact Guns+2KYGUNCO+2

• Ambidextrous magazine release

• Ambidextrous bolt catch/release (A-DAC style double-action control on select models)

• Radian Talon modular ambidextrous 45°/90° safety selector – configurable to your preferred throw angle. Impact Guns+2Palmetto State Armory+2

Whether you’re left-handed, right-handed, or prefer to run your rifle from either shoulder, this Model 1 is designed to be truly ambi, not just “lefty friendly.”

Premium Brown Cerakote Finish & Billet Receivers

The R0851 isn’t just functional—it’s built to look and feel like a premium rifle:

• Upper, lower, and handguard are Cerakoted together in Radian’s distinct brown tone for a perfectly matched finish and excellent corrosion resistance. Impact Guns+2KYGUNCO+2

• Billet-machined 7075-T6 aluminum receivers with an integral trigger guard and flared magwell for strength and improved ergonomics. Palmetto State Armory+1

• Extended free-float aluminum handguard with a Magpul M-LOK modular mounting system, providing plenty of space for lights, bipods, grips, and other accessories while protecting the barrel. Impact Guns+2KYGUNCO+2

This combination of billet receivers, Cerakote, and a full-length handguard gives the Model 1 a high-end feel that matches its performance.

Match-Grade Trigger for Precision Shooting

The Model 1 in this configuration is equipped with a match-grade trigger designed for crisp, predictable breaks:

• Many listings for the R0851 specify an ATC AR Gold match-grade trigger, giving you a light, clean break and short reset that’s ideal for precision and speed. Impact Guns+1

• This high-end trigger enhances the inherent accuracy of the 6mm ARC and the match barrel, helping you squeeze every bit of precision out of the platform.

Whether you’re ringing steel at distance or dialing in a hunting load, the trigger is up to the task.

M-LOK Handguard & QD-Ready Receiver Extension

The handguard and receiver extension are built with serious shooters in mind:

• Extended M-LOK handguard with integrated top rail lets you mount optics and backup sights while adding accessories exactly where you need them. Impact Guns+2KYGUNCO+2

• 6-position mil-spec receiver extension with a QD end plate provides multiple sling mounting options and adjustable length of pull for different shooting positions and gear setups. Impact Guns+2Classic Firearms+2

This makes the Model 1 easy to adapt to precision prone work, barricade shooting, or dynamic field positions.

Purpose-Built for the 6mm ARC Role

Radian’s own description of the 6mm ARC Model 1 highlights how it’s engineered specifically around the ARC concept:

• The 6mm ARC Model 1 is marketed as “engineered for ARC,” redefining what’s possible from an AR-15 platform with flatter trajectories and extended range. Radian Weapons+2KYGUNCO+2

• Ideal for:

  • Mid- to long-range hunting (varmints, predators, and medium game where legal)

  • Precision steel matches and practical carbine competitions

  • General-purpose precision carbines where reach and accuracy matter more than raw volume

If you’ve been wanting to tap into what 6mm ARC can really do in a premium AR-15, the R0851 is built precisely for that mission.

20-Round Capacity & Included Magazine

This model ships ready for the range:

• Capacity: 20+1 rounds of 6mm ARC, using a 20-round magazine optimized for the cartridge’s geometry. Impact Guns+2Arnzen Arms+2

• Includes: 1 magazine, so you can head straight to the range once you’ve mounted your optic and zeroed.

Additional mags are widely available, but this included 20-rounder is a great starting point for training or hunting.
