Radical Firearms FR16 5.56 NATO Rifle 16" Barrel M-LOK Handguard

The Radical Firearms FR16 5.56 NATO rifle delivers reliable semi-automatic performance with modern M-LOK compatibility for tactical and sporting applications. This 16-inch carbine-length platform provides the versatility shooters demand for competition, training, and general purpose use.

What Makes This Different

Built on a forged 7075-T6 aluminum receiver set, this rifle exceeds mil-spec standards for strength and durability. The 15-inch M-LOK handguard offers extensive mounting real estate while maintaining a slim profile that enhances handling. Unlike standard carbine handguards, the extended length provides better heat dissipation and more accessory mounting options forward of the gas block.

Key Features

• 15-inch free-floating M-LOK handguard with full-length top rail

Field performance centers on the proven direct impingement gas system that cycles reliably with both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition. The 16-inch barrel length provides excellent velocity retention while maintaining maneuverability in confined spaces. Shooters can expect consistent accuracy suitable for precision work at extended ranges, while the carbine gas system ensures reliable cycling with various ammunition weights.
