Is Radical Firearms G2G?

Specifically their uppers?

I have used a few of them for builds and they seem fine.

The barrel extensions may or may not be torqued correctly and may come loose

I've used a couple

The barrels may or may not be the length advertised.

8.5 was dead on, "7.5" was 7 1/8

That was a "spot" problem 9 months ago, acknowledged and fixed.



My 2nd RF upper purchase was in March and I had NO problem with the barrel extension when I swapped out the A2 for a muzzle brake ... just as I had NO problem last August with my first RF upper purchase when I swapped out the A2 for a linear comp.



Both were done with my Geissele reaction rod.



I have had ZERO problems with either upper.

I ordered mine around father's day last year & it had a loose gas block, 7.5" chambered in 5.56. others in the ar pistol forum complained of the same issue. I had no problems other than that.

Mine were much nicer than I expected.  Shoot great too.  GTG

My wife bought me a .458Socom upper from them for my birthday last month.  Fit and finish overall looks great.  There was a little bit of what looks like rust on the crush washer, but that's stupid easy to swap out.  Also, the staking on the gas key was too light for my taste, so I'll re-stake it after I swap out the MIM gas key for a different one.  I wasn't prepared when she bought it, so I haven't shot it yet.  I'm currently looking for ammo for it so I can go shoot it.  

One minor complaint is that the M-lok version of the Seekins rail they use was announced 2 days after I got mine.  I ended up with keymod when they'll probably offer M-lok in the future on their builds.  It's not worth it to me to go through the hassle of buying a new rail and swapping it out, but it would have been nice.

Cool, thanks for the input guys... i know get what you pay for idea but from what it looks like they are maybe a little better than not for the price...

I have a Radical 7.5" 5.56 upper on my folding pistol.  It has about 500 rounds through it in a training class.  Zero hiccups.

I literally just got a "7.5" 7.62x39 barrel from radical, It is obviously shorter than my bear creek arsenal 7.5, but I haven't measured either.

My 'short' barrel was a 7.62x39 as well.
