Radical Firearms makes low cost complete uppers, lowers and rifles in Stafford, Texas. They machine the guns themselves instead of assembling bought parts.
Founded 2012, Stafford, Texas, Made in USA · Budget ARs · Complete uppers · Veteran hiring
Radical Firearms started in Stafford, Texas in 2012 as a small shop and bought its first CNC machine in 2013. It's a real manufacturer, building guns from the muzzle device back rather than assembling bought parts, and it gives veterans first pick when hiring.
It's known for low cost complete uppers, lowers and rifles in 5.56, 300 BLK, 7.62x39, 6.5 Grendel, .308 and 350 Legend. The shop is ISO 9001:2015 certified and also sells barreled uppers, bolt carriers and rails.
Radical uppers hold about 2% of the upper slot on GunPartPicker at about $400, right on the typical price. Complete rifles hold about 3% at around $440, against roughly $920 for the typical rifle.
Stock is the issue. In early October only about 25% of its listings across stores were in stock. We'd buy a Radical upper for a first build or an odd caliber, and grab it when you see it.

Works as expected. No major complaints. Seems fine for the price.
Got this lower a while back. Fits and functions fine for the most part. A little rough around the edges though, especially the trigger guard. Definitely not the smoothest or tightest fitting lower ive seen, but it gets the job done. Probably wouldnt buy it again.
works great. no complaints here.
So I got this handguard a few months ago. its been ok I guess? Fits fine and seems solid enough, but nothing really special about it. Probably wouldnt buy the same one again, but its not terrible or anything.
Honestly, this BCG has been awesome. Ive put about 500 rounds through it with no issues at all. Smooth and reliable, just what I was looking for. 10/10 would buy again.
Just got this barrel and took it to the range. Shoots great, no problems at all. Cant really compare it to anything else since its my first AR build, but Im happy with the performance so far.
