Radian Model 1 18" 6mm Arc Fde

The Radian Model 1 18" 6mm Arc in FDE is a purpose-built semi-automatic rifle engineered for precision shooting and tactical applications where velocity and accuracy demand a dedicated modern cartridge. The 6mm Arc delivers ballistic performance comparable to the 6.5 Creedmoor in an AR-15 platform, eliminating the need for costly bolt conversions while maintaining magazine compatibility. This rifle arrives configured with a Dead Air Flash Hider, professional-grade Cerakote FDE finish, and a single 20-round magazine—ready for immediate deployment to the range or field.

The 18-inch barrel strikes a critical balance in the 6mm Arc platform, optimizing velocity while maintaining a compact overall length suitable for vehicle deployment, room clearing, and dynamic shooting positions. Radian Weapons manufactures the Model 1 with exacting tolerances and quality control standards established across Law Enforcement and military supply contracts. The Dead Air Flash Hider suppresses muzzle signature and controls blast pressure, reducing shooter detection and collateral effects in low-light tactical scenarios. Cerakote FDE provides corrosion resistance and durability across harsh field environments—from desert operations to coastal deployments—while maintaining a professional appearance on duty or competition.

This configuration serves precision-focused operators, competitive shooters, and LEOs who prioritize modern cartridge performance within the AR-15 ecosystem. The 6mm Arc ammunition offers superior long-range downrange energy and wind deflection control compared to standard 5.56 NATO, with proven reliability in suppressed and unsuppressed configurations. Shooters transitioning from service rifles benefit from familiar ergonomics and controls while gaining measurable performance advantages in distance and accuracy-focused disciplines. The rifle's 11.44-pound weight distributes naturally through the platform, supporting extended shooting sessions without fatigue penalty.
