The new upper will retail for $459.99. The reason this price is so low is, quite simply, because Radical builds everything in house. Muzzle device to buffer tube, RF manufactures it in our own facility.
As Radical’s David Spector notes,
“This give us unmatched levels of quality control and allows us to build boutique quality rifles for everyman prices.”
You will not the KeyMod rails on RF rifles are set up differently than some manufacturers. This came about due to a request by a Federal agency.
“We run them like this as a fail safe so gear doesn’t fall off accidentally. Have you ever smacked your accessory up against a door frame on a regular rail? Bye bye accessory! You don’t have to worry about that with our rails.”
What does that mean to you? To some manufacturers it means buying materials or extrusions overseas and finish machining parts in the US, or even having parts made overseas and assembling them in the US.
To ZeroBravo it means sourcing materials that are made in the US and then using those materials to make the best products money can buy! Only when a US made option is not available will we look elsewhere, as is the case with the Austrian made AustriAlpin buckles. All sewing and materials are Berry Compliant and the Dark Coyote Brown conforms to AR670-1.
If you are buying a product that your life depends on – or simply want to have the best. The solution is simple. Made By – Made For.
The Alpha Belt by ZeroBravo is quite simply the ultimate EDC Belt. This slim and lightweight belt features ventilated, antimicrobial, moisture wicking mesh material, rolled and sewn edges for additional comfort, and DuraGrip Hook Pile Tape for durability and strength. Scuba webbing is wrapped between the layers of Type 27 and Type 17 nylon to provide additional rigidity to effortlessly support your EDC gear and features a 1″ Cobra FM buckle from AustriAlpin. Backed by our limited lifetime warranty and made in the USA. We are certain that the Alpha Belt will be the most comfortable belt you’ve ever worn!
Nuremberg, 05.03.2016. UF PRO revealed 7 new products at the annual IWA exhibition in Nuremberg. If you didn’t have the opportunity to visit their “jungle” booth in hall 9, here is some news straight from the UF PRO booth.
“Tough gear for rough weather.“ That’s the mantra for the new generation of Monsoon rain jackets, which were designed to offer extreme reliability and functionality during extreme weather conditions.
“Does 100g lighter gear compensate for less reliability and functionality? We don’t think so. That is why, during the design process of our new Monsoon jackets we focused on guaranteeing superb waterproof reliability, comfort and functionality, rather then saving grams and thus not including crucial functional elements, like the air/pac inserts or our Hood/Harness system“ said head of product development at UF PRO, Armin Wagner.
UF PRO is going to add 3 new jackets to their Monsoon rain gear; the more civilian styled Monsoon jacket, the heavy duty Monsoon XT jacket and the lightweight Monsoon Rain Shirt, which has been designed to be worn underneath a plate carrier.
“Our specialty has always been the designing of waterproof gear and with the new generation of Monsoon jackets, I really think that we are bringing a game changer to the waterproof garment market“ added Armin.
UF PRO also introduced their updated Striker XT combat pants and shirt, which should be available by the end of May. One of the biggest updates with the new generation of Striker XT pants is that the camouflage version is going to have the stretch panels also in camouflage. This was until now only the case with the Striker HT pants in MultiCam, where UF PRO combined the MultiCam NyCo fabric with the Schoeller-dynamic stretch material in SloCam.
A complete novelty to the UF PRO product range is the new addition to their Striker combat range- the new Stealth Smock.
“We wanted to design a smock, which would allow you to stow everything you need for a 24 -36 hour mission in it, without the need to carry an additional backpack or a chest rig. It was of course clear from the start that the problem isn’t going to be how to design a jacket with large pockets, but how to make sure the jacket stays comfortable to wear, even loaded with all that gear. That’s why we integrated a special air permeable load-bearing system into the jacket, which fixes the pockets onto your hip and thus helps to distribute the weight evenly.“ Armin reflected on the design process of the new Smock, which is going to be available in Flecktarn, MultiCam, PenCott GreenZone and RAL 7013 Brown-Grey.
UF PRO also introduced their new summer products, consisting out of the P-40 Shorts and the P-40 Shirt.
The shorts offer the known pocket configuration from the P-40 All-Terrain pants. The knee can be adjusted in length and can either cover the knee or stay above it.
The P-40 Shirt has integrated breathable mesh material in areas of high perspiration, air/pac inserts in the shoulder area and a high collar for extra sun protection and protection against abrasion in case of wearing a rifle sling.

It is completely user serviceable and features a stainless steel monocore baffle system. Finished in High Temp Cerakote and threaded to fit barrels in ½ X 28, this 6 oz. suppressor is available for $219.99 MSRP.
· The RF 22LR Integrally Suppressed Barrel is a 16.25” long, .925” diameter replacement barrel for the Ruger 10/22 rifle that contains a rim fire suppressor rated for 22 long rifle.

Integrally suppressed barrels, such as the RF 22LR Suppressed Barrel, offer superior sound reduction in rim fire calibers as opposed to external suppressors.
With suppressors being legal to own in 41 states as of this writing, many customers are looking for low cost solutions for their suppressor needs. Radical Firearms fills those needs offering a low cost solution in a high quality product.
The company offers an exclusive Lifetime Warranty on all firearms manufactured by Radical Firearms for the life of the product. The suppressors have a limited lifetime warranty to the original owner. (Full automatic fire and any damage from such will void the warranty, for example.)
