Purpose-Built 6mm ARC Precision in an AR-15 Platform
Chambered in 6mm ARC, the Radian Model 1 takes advantage of this highly efficient cartridge to deliver flatter trajectories, higher ballistic efficiency, and extended effective range from the AR-15 platform. Radian’s own materials highlight the 6mm ARC Model 1 as redefining what’s possible from an AR, aimed at precision-minded shooters who stretch distance on steel, varmints, and game. radianweapons.com+2Detroit Ammo Co.+2
Key caliber benefits:
Excellent long-range performance in a compact AR-15 footprint
High ballistic coefficient projectiles for improved wind resistance
Ideal for coyotes, varmints, target shooting, and mid- to long-range steel
Pairing 6mm ARC with Radian’s match-grade build quality makes this rifle a serious tool for shooters who care about hits, not just noise.
14.5" Pinned Barrel – Legal 16" OAL with Maximum Maneuverability
This Model 1 configuration uses a 14.5" match-grade barrel that is pinned and welded with a Dead Air flash hider to reach a legal 16" overall length (OAL). possentienterprises.com+3Impact Guns+3Arnzen Arms+3
Why that matters:
You get the handiness and balance of a 14.5" barrel
Pinned muzzle device brings the rifle to 16" OAL, helping meet non-NFA rifle requirements (always verify local laws)
Suppressor-ready setup with a Dead Air Keymo flash hider that also serves as an excellent muzzle device on its own Impact Guns+1
This configuration strikes a smart balance between compact maneuverability and barrel length sufficient for 6mm ARC to stretch its legs.
Dead Air Flash Hider – Low Flash, Ready for Suppressor Use
Radian equips this Model 1 with a Dead Air flash hider at the muzzle, giving you a proven device for flash reduction and future suppressor use. Impact Guns+1
Benefits of the Dead Air system:
Helps reduce muzzle flash, improving low-light shooting comfort
Serves as a mounting interface for Dead Air suppressors (Keymo-type on many listings) Impact Guns+1
Durable construction designed for high round counts

OD Green Cerakote – Rugged, Tactical Finish
The upper receiver, lower receiver, and extended aluminum handguard are all finished in Olive Drab Green (ODG) Cerakote, applied together for a perfect color match. Impact Guns+2miaintarms.com+2
