Radical Firearms RF-15

Small Arms And Sidearms

The Radical Firearms RF-15 is a budget AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle assembled in Stafford, Texas, and first released at the 2016 SHOT Show. It is sold at a low price as an entry level rifle for American consumers, aimed at home defense and competition shooting, and competes with other affordable platforms such as the Hi-Point HP-15 and the Palmetto State Armory PA-15. It uses a direct impingement gas system with a 16 inch barrel with a 1 in 7 inch twist, a 15 inch free floated M-LOK handguard, an adjustable stock and a Picatinny rail on the upper receiver, and is usually chambered in 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington and in .300 Blackout. Its only listed institutional user is the Civil Police of the Brazilian state of Ceara, and it has also figured in several recorded shootings and a lawsuit.
