Radian Model 1 Rifle 223Wylde 16 Blk

The Radian Model 1 rifle in .223 Wylde with a 16-inch barrel is a precision AR-platform rifle built on the principle that quality materials, meticulous machining, and genuine thought-through design beat gimmicks and marketing every time. Radian designed the Model 1 from the ground up to serve serious shooters—whether you're running precision rounds at the range, testing zero between seasons, or building a platform you know will perform when it matters. This rifle is entirely designed and manufactured in the USA, with every receiver machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminum and assembled by hand by a trained gunsmith who personally test-fires and inspects each gun before it ships.

Where the Model 1 really sets itself apart is ambidextrous operation. The fully ambi controls—charging handle, safety, bolt release, and magazine release—mean left-handed and right-handed shooters get equal access to core functions. No compromises, no weird adapter plates. The rifle ships with Radian's own Talon safety selector, Vertex trigger, and Raptor-SD ambidextrous charging handle (suppressor-optimized if you're thinking about a can down the road). The 16-inch match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel is chambered in .223 Wylde, which accepts both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition, and Radian guarantees sub-MOA accuracy when paired with quality Black Hills Match Grade loads.

The hand guard is a proprietary Radian design with integrated M-LOK slots and an anti-rotation pin that keeps everything locked tight. Both the upper receiver, lower receiver, and hand guard are cerakoted together for a perfect color match—a small detail that speaks to the overall fit and finish. The lower features an integral trigger guard and flared magazine well. Out of the box you get a USGI 30-round magazine, a 6-position collapsible stock, Magpul pistol grip, and your choice of either a SilencerCo ASR mount or Dead Air flash hider/muzzle brake. Radian backs every Model 1 with a lifetime warranty—they stand behind their work.
