Radian Weapons R0040 Model 1 14.5" 31-Round Carbine

The Radian Weapons R0040 Model 1 Carbine in 223 Wylde is a fully ambidextrous, hand-assembled rifle engineered for operators who demand symmetrical controls and uncompromising build quality. Chambered in 223 Wylde with a pinned and welded 14.50-inch barrel, this carbine delivers the accuracy and velocity needed for precision rifle work while maintaining a compact profile optimized for vehicle-based operations, close-quarters training, and duty applications where both left- and right-handed shooters operate the same platform.

Every Model 1 is assembled by a trained gunsmith who inspects, test fires, and cleans the weapon to guarantee it meets rigid quality standards. The rifle features a Radian Brown billet receiver and M-Lok handguard finished in matching Cerakote for color consistency and corrosion resistance across the upper receiver, lower receiver, and rail system. The mid-length gas system balances recoil impulse and cycle rate for reliable function across commercial and military-spec ammunition. Standard controls include a Magpul CTR stock and Magpul pistol grip, while the M-Lok mounting system provides genuine modular accessory versatility without proprietary interfaces. Total weight is 11.2 pounds, making this platform deployable in extended operations without excessive fatigue.

This carbine is purpose-built for law enforcement tactical teams, military trainers, and serious sport shooters who need a short-barreled, ambidextrous platform for duty or competition work. The 223 Wylde chamber accepts both 5.56 NATO and 223 Remington ammunition, offering flexibility in round selection while maintaining tighter tolerances than standard 5.56 chambers for improved accuracy. The pinned and welded barrel configuration meets federal regulations for short-barreled rifle ownership in most jurisdictions when properly registered or compliant under applicable law.

Radian Weapons has established a reputation for precision manufacturing and attention to detail across their upper and lower receivers, charging handles, and controls. The 30+1 round capacity (magazine-dependent) enables operational flexibility during training evolutions or dynamic scenarios. The mid-length gas system combined with a carbine-length handguard creates a balanced platform that handles smoothly during transitions and precision work.
