The RD MK1 MOD1 PATROL16 stands as a quintessential example of modern carbine engineering. This 16-inch firearm, chambered in the versatile 5.56 NATO, is designed to meet the demands of both seasoned operators and discerning enthusiasts alike.
At its core, this carbine features Radical's innovative threaded straight gas tube and gas block system. This design effectively eliminates gas leakage—a common pitfall in lesser models—and significantly mitigates recoil, enhancing overall shooting performance.
The RD MK1 MOD1 PATROL16 comes equipped with a KFM Taper Lock Flash Hider from RD Suppressor, ensuring muzzle flash is kept to an absolute minimum without compromising on reliability or durability.
Handling is further refined with the inclusion of Battle Arms Development's RACK Ambidextrous Charging Handle and an ambidextrous selector switch—catering to both left- and right-handed users effortlessly. The B5 Systems Bravo Stock complements these features by offering adjustable comfort while maintaining structural integrity under duress.
A Nickel Teflon Single Stage trigger provides a crisp pull that can be relied upon shot after shot. Coupled with an enhanced trigger guard for added safety and precision handling, it ensures every round counts when it matters most.
For those who appreciate versatility in sighting systems, optional Griffin Armament M2 Iron Sights offer robust adjustability without unnecessary complexity—ideal for quick target acquisition in dynamic environments.
The handguard system deserves special mention: Radical’s MK1 M-LOK handguards are thermally fitted to a steel barrel nut using their Tombstone lock-up method. This results in unparalleled rigidity that withstands rigorous use while providing ample space for accessory mounting via M-LOK slots.
