Model/SKU: R0262 • UPC: 817093028848
Caliber/Chamber: 223 Wylde (fires .223 Rem & 5.56 NATO) • Barrel: 14.5" (pinned/welded to 16" OAL) • Capacity: 10-Round (CA compliant) • Finish/Color: Black • Platform: Radian Model 1 (CA)
Engineered for shooters who demand premium quality within restrictive jurisdictions, the CA Radian Model 1 (R0262) delivers the fit, finish, and performance Radian is known for—configured to meet California feature requirements. The heart of the rifle is a 223 Wylde chamber that extracts accuracy from both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO, paired to a 14.5-inch barrel that’s pinned and welded for a legal 16" overall barrel length. A slim free-float M-LOK® handguard maximizes sight radius and mounting options, while the ambidextrous Radian control suite keeps manipulations fast and consistent for right- or left-handed shooters. The result is a lightweight, balanced carbine with 10-round compliance that still runs like a top-tier duty rifle.
Why This CA Model 1 Stands Out
223 Wylde precision & versatility: Match-friendly throat geometry for excellent accuracy with common bullet weights (55–77 gr) in both .223 and 5.56.
Pinned 14.5" = 16" OAL: Enjoy compact handling characteristics with the legal simplicity of a 16" rifle barrel length.
Premium billet receivers: Precision-machined upper/lower mate tightly for repeatable accuracy and a refined, rattle-free feel.
Free-float M-LOK® handguard: Rigid, anti-rotation design preserves POI and offers abundant M-LOK® slots for lights, grips, QD cups, and IR devices.
Ambidextrous ergonomics: Radian’s ambi bolt release, safety, and charging handle (model dependent) streamline manipulations for any shooter, any position.
Compliance-minded furniture: 10-round configuration with CA feature set such as a fixed/featureless stock and paddle/fin-style grip (typical on Radian CA builds) for lawful ownership while maintaining control and comfort.
Duty-ready reliability: Mid-length/carbined-tuned gas (model dependent), premium BCG, and quality components deliver smooth recoil and long-term durability.
Feature Highlights
Barrel & Muzzle: 14.5" barrel (pinned/welded to 16" OAL) with a modern flash hider for reduced signature and optimal balance.
Chamber/Twist: 223 Wylde, 1:8 twist stabilizes a wide range of projectiles.
Handguard: Free-float M-LOK® (~13–15" class, model spec) with full-length top rail for optics/BUIS.
Controls: Radian ambidextrous safety/charging handle; enlarged bolt catch/release for intuitive speed (model spec).
Furniture: Fixed stock and featureless/paddle grip for CA compliance; textured surfaces for confident control.
Trigger: Clean, duty-grade trigger (Radian spec) for predictable breaks and fast follow-ups.
Finish: Black Cerakote-style hard finish on receivers/handguard for abrasion and corrosion resistance.
Compliance Note: Configured in a 10-round, CA-compliant format. Laws change—verify your local and state regulations and final configuration before purchase or transfer.
Ideal Uses
Training & patrol: Reliable gas timing and free-float accuracy for high-round-count classes and duty-ready setups.
Home & range carbine: Balanced handling with a long top rail for optic + offset irons or magnifier.
General purpose: From drills to practical competition, the Model 1 platform delivers premium performance within CA constraints.
