Radian Model 1 Rifle | 16" .223 Wylde | FDE CerakoteThe Radian Model 1 represents the pinnacle of modern AR platform evolution. Precision machined from premium materials and hand-assembled by expert gunsmiths, one at a time. No assembly line. These fully ambidextrous rifle deliver sub-MOA accuracy with uncompromising reliability. The 16" barrel chambered in .223 Wylde provides the versatility to run both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition with optimal accuracy and safety.
The Model 1 platform represents years of engineering refinement focused on performance and usability. The proprietary A-DAC™ (Ambidextrous Dual Action Catch) system enables right-side bolt hold-open functionality, while ambidextrous magazine release buttons provide intuitive controls for all shooters regardless of hand dominance.
The integrated upper receiver and handguard design eliminates traditional barrel nut alignment issues while providing increased rigidity and heat dissipation. The M-LOK compatible handguard offers versatile attachment points while maintaining a sleek profile. The stainless steel anti-rotation pin between the upper receiver and handguard ensures consistent zero retention even under demanding conditions.
Every component is selected for performance and durability. The enhanced bolt carrier group features improved staking, optimal gas key design, and superior coating for reliable function in adverse environments. The Radian Raptor-SD™ charging handle reduces gas blowback when used with suppressors, while the Talon™ ambidextrous safety selector can be configured for either 45° or 90° throw depending on user preference.
The Radian Vertex™ trigger provides a clean break with minimal overtravel and a positive reset. The flared magwell design on the lower receiver enables faster, more consistent magazine changes under stress. The 6-position receiver extension paired with an H2 buffer delivers optimal cycling with a wide range of ammunition types.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
