The Radian Weapons Model 1 Upper in .223 Wylde (brand part number R0464) is a 14.5-inch upper finished in a distinctive grey Cerakote, sized for a compact, fast-handling AR pistol or SBR-configured build. The .223 Wylde chamber lets this upper safely and accurately run both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO ammunition. This is an upper receiver assembly only, with no lower receiver included, so it is not itself a regulated firearm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this bare upper itself an NFA-regulated item? No. It is an upper receiver assembly with no lower receiver included, so it is not a regulated firearm on its own. Installing it on a shouldered, rifle-configured lower without a registered short-barreled rifle would require ATF Form 1 approval first.

Is this a complete rifle? No, this is an upper receiver assembly only with no lower receiver included. It ships without an FFL transfer and needs a compatible AR-15 lower to complete a build.
