Very nice upper and what a deal - Radical Firearms 16 in. 5.56 SOCOM Upper Assembly

This first things first this is an amazing deal the 15-in m lock quad rail is a Magpul and by itself is 90 bucks even on this site. The barrel's nice nothing fancy I took the a2 birdcage right off threads are real nice for any other muzzle device. Receive the upper receiver solid it's pic rail goes all the way down no additional rail sections necessary. 200 dollars free shipping plus 50 bucks in optics bucks to use on any BCG you want? That's half the price of something not even close to comparable all plastic out of their competitor out of NC state. It's mid-length and the gas block is nothing special it's not adjustable it's on a .750 hole. Gas block is a replaceable item down the road if your mid-length is over or under gassing. As is its serviceable. I did pair this with an H1 buffer per the specs but next time out to the range I will try a carbine buffer because it's just slightly short stroking with a heavier bcg and comp than just a garbage level BCG and birdcage the things probably meant to be running with because I mean it is bottom of the line kit parts. Saying that it's still better than whatever comes on the retail shelf from a dozen manufacturers with the big ancient gas pins and giant plastic handguards.
