BUSHM S-VRD-003-22310BLK-F V-RADICATOR 5.56 NATO 24" Rifle

The Bushmaster S-VRD-003-22310BLK-F V-Radicator 5.56 NATO 24" rifle represents a purpose-built platform for tactical, competitive, and defensive applications where precision and reliability are non-negotiable. Designed for operators, law enforcement, and serious shooters who demand a rifle that balances accuracy at extended ranges with the maneuverability of a modern carbine, the V-Radicator delivers performance across multiple mission profiles. The 24-inch barrel length extends effective range and velocity while maintaining overall handling characteristics suitable for both stationary and mobile engagement scenarios.

The rifle's architecture centers on the 5.56 NATO chamber, ensuring compatibility with both military-grade M193 and NATO-spec M855 ammunition, as well as civilian .223 Remington loads. The 24-inch barrel maximizes velocity and sight radius, critical factors for precision shooting beyond 300 yards where bullet drop and wind drift become determining factors in accuracy. At 15.82 lbs, the fully assembled rifle strikes a practical balance between stability and portability—light enough for extended carry operations, yet substantial enough to absorb recoil and manage muzzle rise during rapid-fire sequences. The flat-top receiver design accommodates modern optics mounting standards, allowing integration with AR-pattern upper receivers and Picatinny rail accessories without compromise.

This V-Radicator configuration suits marksmen seeking a dependable 5.56 platform for precision rifle disciplines, home defense scenarios, and tactical training environments where barrel length and sight radius directly impact shot placement. The 47.5-inch overall length positions it as a mid-length rifle—longer than standard carbines for enhanced ballistic performance, yet compact enough for vehicle and building entry scenarios. All standard AR-platform accessories, triggers, stocks, and rail systems integrate seamlessly, ensuring shooters can customize ergonomics and optics to match individual requirements and operational needs.
