5 of 5 Make it your own September 10, 2025
Reviewer: Doug Haehl from Lafayette, TN United States  
First of all, I have to say that I have an earlier version of this rifle. Haven't put too many rounds through it, but have customized the look and feel of the rifle with red-dot, 45 degree irons, magpul vertical foregrip, tactical flashlight, and flash suppressor. That being said, this AR looks mean as hell and has functioned great. I did have an issue with ejecting brass, and RF customer support has been SUPERB!!! Lifetime warranty and they mean it. Will buy from again. If you are thinking about getting a RF product, don't hesitate and do it, you will not be disappointed. Also, USA made in the great state of TX.

5 of 5 My Wife Loves This Gun Too! December 4, 2022
Reviewer: Tom from Delaware  
Hard to believe the value this gun was. My wife, our boys and friends have more expensive guns, but this is accurate at 800 yards with the Primary Arms SLx 1-6x24mm SFP Rifle Scope Gen III - Illuminated ACSS 5.56/5.45/.308. Stay armed, and keep praying Patriots!

5 of 5 Comparable to ARs costing twice as much. February 4, 2021
Reviewer: Edwin Kern from Scottsdale, AZ United States  
I have a 2015 FGS with the 15" FGS rail.  I have put 2000+ rounds through it with only one failure while I was using steel case ammo.  It will eat any ammo, but loves 5.56 Green Tips the best.  Very accurate.  The Melonite barrel lining still looks new, this stuff is awesome.  I also love the FGS rail, easy to mount anything anywhere with ease, and I have had it off of the rifle and it is amazingly light for it's stout appearance.  Top notch quality. The only things I have changed are the Stock to a Magpul MOE SL, and a Magpul large trigger guard. I can't recommend Radical Firearms enough. Awesome Customer Service as well!
