Not to beat a dead horse but I think they sold you the wrong barrel LOL. It might be listed as 556 and actually be 300. I've seen that happen a couple other times with different firearms, not radical necessarily. It's super rare but hey, maybe they'll send you the correct barrel if that's the case and you'll get to keep this one as well
You loaded too much ammunition into the magazine and tried forcing the magazine.It's set in and the bullet crimmed against the bolt. I'm telling you, dude, I've seen this happen myself.You loaded too many bullets into your magazine.That is the problem guaranteed
Got an ar pistol running a sico 36m can and did the same to a few rounds and on some others it bent the casing towards the projectile and on 2 it pushed the projectile into the case also broke the charging handle all under 250 rounds all suppressed
Go PSA or Daniel Defense. The latter is pricey, but worth it IMO. You might have to dick with the feed ramp to the chamber. Might also be an over pressured feeder spring in your magazine.
I have 2 radicals both in 556/223 one a 16in rifle the other a 10.5 pistol and they both run great but the pistol doesn’t like the magpul d60 drum as much as the rifle no bolt hold on last round and the bolt release is very tight with the drum in
I have 2 radicals both multi caliber 556/223 they are a budget rifle and the cheaper ones do need work but once you figure out your problem fix it and break it in it’ll run like any other ar the only problem I had with mine was the hammer had a burr from factory and didn’t let the trigger reset but a easy $8 fix on palmetto and 1000 rounds later no issues not even a malfunction
Stick your pinky in the barrel (after safety check of course) and see if it goes down in there. If it does, you may have tried to run a 556 in a 300 aac. That looks about 30 cal to me. 😆
Seems to be cut out of Spec. Must’ve been made at 4:58pm on a Friday. Radical will make it right. They are good company. I’ve literally sold hundreds of these and have seen very few issues compared to some of the other guys out there selling in the same price point.
Super tight chamber I would guess, probably a couple thousands out of spec.
Radicals aren’t super quality but they’re not shit. i’ve sold enough of them without them coming back with issues. Wouldn’t hurt to contact Radical and ask for a new barrel.

“well my RF-15 has been flawless”
that’s nice. i have a flawless series ii kimber. does that mean they’re perfect guns? fuck nah, and you won’t see me say otherwise 😂
Chamber in the rifle is probably 300 Blackout.
My RF15 has been 100% flawless since day 1 right out of the box.
Never heard of that.
Over 1k rounds through mine. Only think I had to replace it the charging handle
Bru my radicals awesome only 1 malfunction in like 4500 rounds and I for sure suck at cleaning my stuff too
Read cal. On barrel and use proper amo
I have 5 of them same rifles and never had a issue with any of them you might have got a defect in your
That looks like a either a 30. Caliber chamber, or it’s a defective chamber, possibly cut wrong from the factory
Bolt is too long? Or barrel is not spaced right

You sure you don't have a 300 blackout because that's exactly what it does if you try to run a 556 threw a 300 blackout😂
I have 2k rounds through mine and haven’t had a single issue besides a couple light strikes

Stop using the metal mag it came with, buy magpul mags. The only problems I had with my radical 556 was with the metal magazine
What caliber is the Ar15
Super tight chamber I would guess, probably a couple thousands out of spec.
