Radical Firearms FR16 5.56 NATO | 16″ | 30rd

The Radical Firearms FR16 is a 5.56 NATO/.223 Rem modern sporting rifle built on forged MIL‑SPEC upper and lower receivers and chambered for standard intermediate cartridges. It ships with a 16″ chrome moly vanadium barrel, an MFT six‑position minimalist stock and an MFT pistol grip, and accepts detachable box magazines with a 30‑round capacity. A versatile AR platform, the FR16 pairs well with optics such as the Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24, which offers fast target acquisition and magnification suitable for this rifle while remaining well under $1,000.

Typical uses include precision-oriented range work and competition shooting formats where a light, familiar AR geometry and a free‑float handguard facilitate accessory mounting and consistency.
