The Radian Weapons Complete AR-15 Upper in .223 Wylde (brand part no. R0473) pairs a match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel with a billet 7075-T6 aluminum receiver for shooters who want precision without a custom build. The .223 Wylde chamber safely runs both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition, giving owners flexibility at the range. Radian finishes the upper in Flat Dark Earth and backs it with an extended M-LOK handguard, an enhanced black nitride M16 bolt carrier group, and a suppressor-optimized Raptor-SD charging handle. It ships optics-ready and complete except for a lower receiver, so it drops straight onto a compatible AR-15 build.
