SECTION 3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

You may be an experienced, safe shooter already familiar

with the procedures in this instruction manual, or you may
have never handled a firearm before. Either way, we urge
you to read this entire instruction manual carefully. YOU
MUST FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR
SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

! WARNING: When you squeeze the trigger, you must expect

the firearm to fire, and you must take full responsibility for
firing it. Your care can avoid accidental discharge, and you
will thereby avoid accidental injury and death.

! WARNING: THIS FIREARM MAY DISCHARGE ACCIDENTALLY

WHEN A ROUND IS FED INTO THE CHAMBER, IF IT IS
DROPPED OR RECEIVES A BLOW TO THE MUZZLE OR FRONT
OF THE FIREARM. (This can occur regardless of the position
of the hammer or any of the various safety devices.)
Therefore, extra care and strict adherence to these
instructions by the firearm user is mandatory for minimizing
the risk of accidents.

Page 7
 C AU T I O N S :

! GENERAL HANDLING CAUTIONS

1. ALWAYS HANDLE YOUR FIREARM AS IF IT WERE LOADED

so that you never fire it accidentally when you think it is
unloaded.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR FIREARM AT ANYTHING YOU DO NOT

INTEND TO SHOOT so that if it fires accidentally, injury, death,
or damage to property will be prevented.

3. NEVER TAKE ANYONE'S WORD THAT A FIREARM IS

UNLOADED; check for yourself with fingers off the trigger
and firearm pointed in a safe direction, so that you never fire
the firearm accidentally when you think it is unloaded.

4. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS NOT LOADED AND

BOLT IS LATCHED OPEN BEFORE LAYING IT DOWN, OR
HANDING IT TO ANOTHER PERSON, so that it cannot be fired
when it is unsafe to do so. Do not let anyone stick their
fingers in the ejection port during inspection or operation.

5. ALWAYS KEEP AND CARRY YOUR FIREARM EMPTY, WITH

THE HAMMER FORWARD except when you intend to shoot,
so that your firearm cannot be fired when you do not intend
to fire it.

Firearm and ammunition manufacturers design their products within

exacting engineering safety limits. Handloads and remanufactured
ammunition are sometimes outside those limits and can be so unsafe as to
blow up the chamber, damage the receiver and magazine, and cause injury,
death, or damage to property with costly repairs to your firearm.

Page 8
6. ALWAYS BE AWARE OF POSSIBLE RISK FROM DROPPING
YOUR FIREARM. Some parts of the mechanism could be
damaged. You may not see the damage, but if it is severe,
the firearm may discharge and cause injury, death, or damage
to property. If your firearm has been dropped, have it
examined by a competent gunsmith before using it again.

7. NEVER LEAVE A FIREARM CHARGED AND READY TO FIRE

as this condition is extremely dangerous, and the firearm could
easily be accidentally discharged, causing injury, death, or
damage to property.

8. NEVER LEAVE A LOADED FIREARM UNATIENDED.

Someone, especially a child, may fire it and cause injury,
death, or damage to property.

9. ALWAYS INSTRUCT CHILDREN AND OTHERS IN YOUR

HOUSEHOLD TO RESPECT FIREARMS. If you teach your
children to shoot, teach them or get them trained by a
qualified instructor to treat and use a firearm properly, and
always supervise them closely. Always stress safety so that
your children will not discharge a firearm when it is unsafe to
do so.

Page 9
 ! RANGE CAUTIONS

10. ALWAYS BE SURE YOUR BACKSTOP IS ADEQUATE to stop

and contain bullets before beginning target practice so that
you do not hit anything outside the range shooting area.

11. ALWAYS PUT A KNOWLEDGABLE AND RESPONSIBLE

PERSON IN CHARGE TO MAINTAIN SAFETY CONTROL WHEN A
GROUP IS FIRING ON A RANGE. Obey their commands so
that discipline is maintained to reduce the likelihood of
accidents.

12. ALWAYS CARRY YOUR FIREARM EMPTY WITH THE BOLT

LOCKED OPEN WHILE ON A RANGE until preparing to fire.
Keep it pointed towards the backstop when loading, firing
and unloading, to eliminate the risk of injury, death, or
damage to property from premature discharge.

! LOADING CAUTIONS

13. ALWAYS BE SURE BARREL BORE, CHAMBER AND ACTION

ARE CLEAN AND CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS. Clean a wet or
fouled firearm immediately so that it will function correctly
and safely.

14. ALWAYS USE CLEAN, DRY, ORIGINAL, HIGH QUALITY

COMMERCIALY MANUFACTURED AMMUNITION IN GOOD
CONDITION WHICH IS APPROPRIATE TO THE CALIBER OF
YOUR FIREARM.

Page 10
15. ALWAYS CHECK THAT AMMUNITION IS CLEAN AND
UNDAMAGED BEFORE USING THE FORWARD ASSIST. Forcing
damaged ammunition into the chamber could damage your
firearm and could result in injury, death, or damage to
property.

! SHOOTING CAUTIONS

16. NEVER CONSUME ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR TAKE

DRUGS BEFORE OR DURING SHOOTING, as your vision,
coordination, and judgment could be seriously impaired,
making your firearm handling unsafe.

17. ALWAYS SEEK A DOCTOR'S ADVICE IF YOU ARE TAKING

MEDICATION, to be sure you are fit to shoot and handle your
firearm safely.

18. ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR EAR

PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING, especially on a range.
Without ear protection, the noise from your firearm and
other firearms close to you, could leave a "ringing" in the ears
for some time after firing, while the cumulative, long-term
effect could result in permanent hearing loss.

Page 11
 19. ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR
PROTECTIVE SHOOTING GLASSES. Flying particles could
damage eyes and cause blindness; but protective shooting
glasses should prevent such injury.

20. ALWAYS KEEP THE SAFETY SELECTOR LEVER SET TO

SAFE WHEN YOUR FIREARM IS LOADED AND COCKED until
you are aiming at a target and intend to fire. This will
minimize the risk of an accidental discharge.

21. ALWAYS KEEP CLEAR AND KEEP OTHERS CLEAR OF THE

EJECTION PORT. Spent cartridges are ejected with enough
force to cause injury, and the ejection port must be
unobstructed by your hand to ensure safe ejection of spent
rounds. Never place fingers in ejection port; they could be
burned by hot metal or injured by the bolt moving forward.

22. NEVER SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OR PUT YOUR FINGER IN

THE TRIGGER GUARD UNTIL YOU ARE AIMING AT A TARGET
YOU ARE READY AND INTEND TO SHOOT. This will prevent
you from firing the firearm when it is pointing in an unsafe
direction.

23. ALWAYS BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND

THE AREA BEHIND AND BEYOND IT BEFORE YOU SQUEEZE
THE TRIGGER. A bullet can travel through or past your target
up to 3 miles. If you are at all in doubt about what is behind
or beyond your target, do not shoot.

Page 12
24. NEVER ATEMPT TO FIRE IF WATER IS IN THE BARREL.
Water can accumulate if your firearm is exposed to heavy
rain or fog. Open the bolt and allow water to drain before
firing. Clean a wet firearm as soon as possible.

25. NEVER SHOOT AT A HARD SURFACE SUCH AS ROCK, OR A

LIQUID SURFACE SUCH AS WATER. A bullet may ricochet and
travel in any direction to strike you, others around you, or
even an object you cannot see, causing injury, death, or
damage to property.

26. NEVER DISCHARGE A FIREARM NEAR FLAMMABLE

MATERIAL. Flame and sparks erupt from the firearm when
discharged. They can start a fire or cause flammable liquids
and gases to explode.

27. NEVER FIRE YOUR FIREARM NEAR AN ANIMAL unless it is

trained to accept the noise; an animal's startled reaction
could injure it or cause an accident.

28. NEVER INDULGE IN “HORSEPLAY" WHILE HOLDING YOUR

FIREARM as it may be accidentally discharged.

29. NEVER WALK, CLIMB, OR FOLLOW ANOTHER PERSON

WHEN YOUR FIREARM IS COCKED AND READY TO FIRE to
eliminate risk of accidental discharge. Hold your firearm so
that you can always control the direction of the muzzle and
keep the safety selector lever set to “SAFE."

Page 13
 ! MALFUNCTION CAUTIONS

30. IF YOU EXPERIENCE A FAILURE TO FIRE, ALWAYS HOLD

THE FIREARM, POINTING TOWARDS THE TARGET OR SAFE
OPEN AREA AND WAIT 30 SECONDS. If a hangfire (slow
ignition) has occurred, the round will fire within 30 seconds.
If round does not fire, cycle the bolt, eject the round and
examine the primer. If the firing pin indent on the primer is
light, off center, or nonexistent, have your firearm examined
by a competent gunsmith before continuing to fire. If firing
pin indent on primer appears normal (in comparison with
similar previously fired rounds), assume faulty ammunition;
segregate the misfired round from all other live ammunition
and empty cases, reload and continue firing.

NOTE 1: It is normal for a light firing pin indent to appear on

the primer of cartridges which have been fed into the
chamber but not fired.

NOTE 2: Dispose of any misfired rounds in accordance with

the ammunition manufacturer's instructions.

31. NEVER USE YOUR FIREARM IF IT FAILS TO FUNCTION

PROPERLY, AND NEVER FORCE A JAMMED ACTION, as a
round may explode causing serious injury, possible death, or
severe damage to your firearm.

Page 14
! CLEANING AND STORAGE CAUTIONS

32. ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOUR FIREARM IS NOT LOADED

BEFORE CLEANING AND STORING so that it cannot be fired
when it is unsafe to do so.

33. ALWAYS KEEP AND STORE YOUR FIREARM AND

AMMUNITION IN A SEPARATE LOCKED RECEPTACLE OUT OF
REACH AND SIGHT OF CHILDREN AND UNTRAINED PEOPLE, to
minimize the risk of firearm and ammunition being easily
available for loading and firing.

! FIREARM ABUSE

34. NEVER ABUSE YOUR FIREARM by using it for any purpose

other than shooting.

35. NEVER DRY FIRE WHEN THE RECEIVERS ARE OPEN as the
level of safety could be reduced.

36. NEVER ALTER PARTS as the level of safety could be

reduced.

NOTE: Please note that we have chosen to use the word

"SQUEEZE" in this instruction manual instead of "PULL" or
"PRESS" when trigger movement is described; this is simply to
remind you of the need for a gentle squeezing action to
achieve the best possible accuracy.

Page 15
 SA F E T Y F E AT U R E S

• Trigger Guard
The Trigger Guard is a metal strip below the trigger to protect
it from damage and to help prevent accidental discharge.
The Trigger Guard should always be in position. The Trigger
Guard on the AR15 features radiused and beveled edges to
accommodate shooters wearing gloves.

• Safety Selector Lever

The Safety Selector Lever is located on the left side of the
lower receiver and has two positions, “FIRE" and “SAFE."
When set to “FIRE," the firearm will fire a single shot each
time the trigger is squeezed without manually reloading.
When set to “SAFE," a cam bears upon the rear portion of the
trigger, blocking the sear surface of the trigger and
preventing the hammer from being released.

NOTE: The safety featured on the Radical Firearms AR15 is a

mechanical safeguard. As with all mechanical systems, failures
within this system are possible and may not be visible to the
operator. ACTIVATING THE SAFETY SELECTOR LEVER TO
THE "SAFE" POSITION DOES NOT MEAN THE FIREARM IS
INCAPABLE OF FIRING IF MISHANDLED OR DROPPED.

Page 16
Bolt Locking Safety Features

This firearm can fire only when the bolt is fully locked to the
barrel and the firing pin is free to move forward. The firing
pin is prevented from reaching the cartridge by the bolt
carrier. Only when the bolt carrier moves forward over the
bolt, rotating it to the fully locked position, can the firing pin
move forward enough to fire the rifle. This design feature
makes sure that the rifle will not fire before the cartridge is
fully chambered and the bolt is fully rotated (locked) to the barrel.

Even with the bolt locked, if you do not use the proper
ammunition, your rifle could blow up or blow down through
the magazine. See inside front cover and elsewhere in the
manual where we clearly emphasize that you should use only
clean, dry, original, high quality, commercially manufactured
ammunition in good condition. Keep the bore of the barrel
clear at all times.

Disconnect

The Disconnect, which is part of the firing mechanism,

prevents the firearm from firing fully automatic. As the T hammer is
cocked after each shot by the rearward movement of the bolt carrier, the
Disconnect engages the hammer to hold it rearward until the trigger is
released. When the trigger is released, retention of the hammer passes
from the Disconnect to the sear surface of the trigger ready for the next
shot.

Page 17
 Fail Safe Firing Mechanism

In case of any failure of the firing mechanism, the top of the

hammer and the underside of the carrier are machined in
such a way that if the hammer was not held rearward by the
disconnect or trigger sear surface, then the hammer would
ride under the carrier and drop into engagement with the
back of the firing pin to stop or prevent firing.

Separation of Upper and Lower Receivers

In the event of functional problems, the lower receiver can be

separated from the upper receiver by pivoting it downwards
after pushing out the rear take down pin. This provides
access to the mechanism and separates the firing mechanism
from other components so that the cocked hammer can not
strike the firing pin.

NOTE: The Bolt Carrier Group must be in the full forward

position in order to separate the Upper Receiver from the
Lower Receiver.

Page 18
SECTION 4 FUNCTION

The AR15 has a semi-automatic action.

With the action cocked, chamber loaded, and selector lever
set to if FIRE" the firearm may be fired by squeezing the
trigger. The trigger rotates, disengaging the trigger sear
surface from the hammer. The hammer spring drives the
hammer forward to strike the firing pin, which in turn strikes
the primer in the base of the cartridge, igniting the primer
composition which ignites the main powder charge.
High pressure gases push the bullet down the barrel where
rifling grooves impart a stabilizing spin to the bullet. As a
bullet passes the gas port (a small hole in the barrel below
the front sight) gas is tapped off, flows through the gas tube,
into the bolt carrier chamber driving the bolt carrier group
rearward. As the bolt carrier moves to the rear the firing pin
is withdrawn into the bolt while the cam track in the bolt
carrier acts upon the bolt cam pin, causing the bolt to rotate
until its locking lugs are no longer in engagement with the
lugs of the barrel extension.

The bolt is now unlocked and is carried rearward by the bolt

carrier.

The extractor extracts the spent case and holds it against the
face or bolt until the ejector throws the spent case through
the ejection port.

Page 19
 The bolt carrier group continues rearward, compressing the
action spring and returning the hammer to its cocked
position, until the buffer assembly strikes the bottom of the
receiver extension and stops. The action spring then forces
the bolt carrier group forward so that the face of the bolt
strips the next round of ammunition from the magazine and
thrusts it into the chamber. Simultaneously the extractor
snaps into the groove of a cartridge case and the bolt locks
into the barrel.

The hammer is now held rearward by the disconnect. When

trigger is released, the disconnect is rotated back releasing
the hammer. However, before the disconnect hook actually
releases the hammer, the trigger sear surface has rotated in
front of the hammer notch so that hammer is held on the
trigger sear surface making the firearm ready for another
shot.

THIS IS A SEMI—AUTOMATIC FIREARM AND IS IMMEDIATELY

LOADED AND IS READY TO FIRE AGAIN AFTER EACH SHOT
UNTIL MAGAZINE IS EMPTY. TO UNLOAD THE RIFLE, THE
MAGAZINE MUST BE REMOVED, AND THE BOLT CARRIER
GROUP MUST BE PULLED TO THE REAR WITH THE
CHARGING HANDLE, EXTRACTING ANY ROUND IN THE
CHAMBER.

Page 20
AMMUNITION SELECTION

Radical Firearms systems are designed to function with a

variety of brands and types of factory manufactured
ammunition in the appropriate caliber. NOT ALL AMMUNITION
WILL PRODUCE THE SAME RESULTS. Radical Firearms recommends
that after you read and understand this manual, you go to the range
and fire different ammunition which is appropriate to the caliber of your
firearm. Once you find the ammunition which functions best - keep using
it. To protect you and others from danger, and your firearm from being
severely damaged, Radical Firearms does not recommend the use of any
handloaded or remanufactured ammunition.

FORWARD ASSIST

The forward assist allows you to help the bolt to lock into the
barrel, but it will only be useful on rare occasions when the
bolt fails to lock automatically. When you must use the
forward assist, it is usually time for you to clean your firearm
paying particular attention to the cleanliness of the chamber
and bolt.

ADJUSTABLE BUTTSTOCK (where applicable on rifle)

The adjustable buttstock a 6-position collapsible

buttstock.

To extend or collapse the buttstock, press the rear end of the

release lever up against the buttstock and slide the buttstock
to forward or backward and release the release lever to lock
the buttstock at the desired position

Page 21
 LOADNG:

! CAUTION:

ALWAYS CHECK THAT AMMUNITION IS CLEAN AND UNDAMAGED

BEFORE USING THE FORWARD ASSIST. Forcing damaged ammunition
into the chamber can damage your firearm and can result in injury, death,
or damage to property.

TO LOAD A MAGAZINE:

! CAUTION:

READ SAFETY INSTURCTIONS (SECTION 3).

1. Use only ammunition recommended inside the front cover of this

instruction manual as suitable for your firearm. Examine the ammunition,
particularly on and around the primer. Look for dents, scratches, and
other signs of damage. Do not load damaged ammunition.

2. With short end of the magazine facing forward, place a round between
the lips of the magazine with the bullet forward. Press the round down until
it is held by the magazine lips. Place next round on top of previous
round and repeat until desired number is loaded.

CAUTION:

TO MINIMIZE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL DAMAGE, LOAD LIVE

AMMUNITION INTO YOUR FIREARM ONLY WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO
SHOOT.

Page 22
TO LOAD THE FIREARM:

CAUTION:

READ SAFETY INSTURCTIONS (Section 3) - KEEP YOUR FIREARM

POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER.

1. Remove empty magazine: depress magazine catch which is located

on the right side of the lower receiver, and extract magazine from the
magazine well.

2. Press in on bottom of thumb piece of bolt catch while grasping and

pulling back on the charging handle, to cock the hammer and leave bolt
and carrier latched open to the rear.

CAUTION:

THE BOLT CARRIER GROUP BEING LATCHED OPEN IS NOT A

SAFE CONDITION WHEN A LOADED MAGAZINE IS INSTALLED.

3. Return charging handle fully forward until it locks and remove finger
from bolt catch.

4. Set selector lever (located on left of lower receiver) to “SAFE", this will
lock the trigger.

5. With bullet points forward, insert the loaded magazine into the magazine
well and push it home until it stops and is locked by the magazine catch.
When the magazine is inserted, pull down on the magazine to ensure it is
fully seated in the magazine well.

Page 23
 6. Keeping fingers away from the ejection port and muzzle pointing in a
safe direction, press in on the top of the thumb piece of the bolt catch. This
will release the bolt carrier group to move forward and feed a
round from the magazine into the chamber. THE FIREARM IS NOW
LOADED WITH A ROUND IN THE CHAMBER AND THE HAMMER IS
COCKED.

7. You may now close the ejection port dust cover if you wish; it is located
on the right hand side of the upper receiver and will open automatically
when the first round is fired.

! CAUTION:

NEVER LEAVE YOUR FIREARM COCKED AND

LOCKED, READY TO FIRE WITHOUT SELECTOR LEVER BEING
SET TO SAFE, as this is the Fire Condition and is extremely
dangerous. Firearms can easily be accidentally discharged,
causing injury, death or damage to property.

! WARNING: THIS FIREARM MAY DISCHARGE ACCIDENTALLY

WHEN A ROUND IS FED INTO THE CHAMBER, IF IT IS DROPPED OR
RECEIVES A BLOW TO THE MUZZLE OR FRONT OF THE FIREARM.
(This can occur regardless of the position of the hammer or any of the
various safety devices.) Therefore, extra care and strict adherence to
these instructions by the firearm's user is mandatory for minimizing the
risk of accidents.

Page 24
UNLOADING

! CAUTION:

ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE AND

PRIOR TO CLEANING AND STORAGE TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF
ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE.

To Unload:

CAUTIONS:

READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. (Section 3 Page 8)

KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

DO NOT TOUCH THE TRIGGER AND KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE
EJECTION PORT.

1. Set the safety selector lever to "SAFE".

NOTE: The hammer must be cocked to place this firearm on "SAFE".

2. Press the magazine catch and remove the magazine.

3. Pull the charging handle to rear and push in lower portion of bolt catch.
If a round had been in the chamber it should have been ejected. If the last
round had been fired, the bolt carrier group should already be
held to the rear provided a magazine was in place.

4. LOOK INTO THE CHAMBER THROUGH THE EJECTION

PORT TO MAKE SURE THE CHAMBER IS EMPTY.

Page 25
 5. When the magazine is removed and the chamber is empty, push the top
portion of the bolt catch to allow the bolt carrier group to return forward.

6. Remove remaining live rounds by sliding them forward out of the

magazine.

7. Collect live ammunition for safe storage and spent cartridge cases for
disposal.

FIRING

Before firing, practice your stance, aim, rhythm and breathing for steady
aim with your firearm UNLOADED. Practice firing on a range before using
your firearm for any other type of shooting.

! CAUTIONS:

1. ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR EAR

PROTECTON WHEN SHOOTING, especially on a range. Without ear
protection, the noise from your firearm and other firearms close to you,
could leave a "ringing" in your ears for some time after firing, while
the cumulative long term effect could be permanent hearing loss.

2. ALWAYS WEAR AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO WEAR PROTECTIVE

SHOOTING GLASSES. Flying particles could damage eyes and cause
blindness; but protective shooting glasses should prevent such injury

Page 26
To Fire:

CAUTIONS:

READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN SECTION 3. KEEP YOUR

FIREARM POINTING IN A SAFE DIRECTION. DO NOT TOUCH
THE TRIGGER AND KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE EJECTION
PORT.

1. Load the firearm as previously described.

2. Grasp firearm with one hand on handguard and other

necessary.

3. Aim by aligning target with front and rear sights.

4. Move safety selector lever to "FIRE."

5. Keeping steady aim, place index finger on trigger and

squeeze gently until trigger releases hammer. Don't
jerk the trigger as you will disturb your aim and ruin
your accuracy. To fire the second and subsequent
rounds, all that is necessary is to release the trigger and
squeeze it again after every shot until you have
completed firing or emptied the magazine.

6. THIS IS A SEMAUTOMATIC FIREARM AND IS IMMEDIATELY

LOADED AND READY TO FIRE AGAIN AFTER EACH SHOT
UNTIL THE MAGAZINE IS EMPTY.

Page 27
 NOTE: This firearm can also be fired without a magazine in
place.

7. Release trigger, remove finger from trigger, and set

selector lever to "SAFE." If you have fired the last
round from the magazine, the bolt will be held to the
rear so that the firearm can quickly be reloaded by
replacing the magazine, or the chamber can be
inspected to make sure it is empty.

! CAUTION:

WHILE FIRING, IF YOU NOTICE A DIFFERENCE IN

SOUND OR RECOIL, STOP FIRING. A bullet could be stuck in
the barrel. If you fire again before clearing the blockage, the
barrel may bulge or burst and cause injury.

If this occurs, retract the bolt slowly to remove and identify

the fired cartridge case. Clear the firearm and make sure the
bore is clear. Any unburned propellant or obstruction in the
bore must be removed before firing again to prevent risk of
damage and injury.

! CAUTION:

IF YOUR FIREARM FAILS TO FIRE, HOLD IT,

KEEPING IT POINTED TOWARDS THE TARGET AND WAIT 30
SECONDS. If a hangfire (slow ignition) has occurred, the
round will fire within 30 seconds. If the round does not fire,
remove themagazine, eject the round and examine the
primer. If the firing pin indent on the primer is light,
misaligned or nonexistent, have your firearm examined by a
competent gunsmith.

Page 28
If the firing pin indent on the primer appears normal (in comparison
with previously fired rounds) assume faulty ammunition; segregate the
misfired round from other live ammunition and empty cases; reload and
carryon firing.

Note: 1: On the AR15, it is normal for a light firing pin indent to appear on
cartridges which have been fed into the chamber, but not fired.

Note: 2: Dispose of misfired rounds in accordance with

ammunition manufacturer's instructions.

CAUTION:

KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTING IN A SAFE

DIRECTION. UNLOAD as previously described.

IMPORTANT: If you load your firearm but do not fire it,

Keep the safety selector lever set to “SAFE” until you are
ready to fire.

CAUTION:

NEVER LEAVE YOUR FIREARM COCKED READY TO FIRE

WITHOUT SELECTOR LEVER SET TO “SAFE" as this is the fire
condition and is extremely dangerous. Your firearm can
easily be accidentally discharged, causing injury, death, or
damage to property.

WHEN TO CLEAN

Before firing, make sure that the barrel and the chamber are clean and dry.

After firing, clean your firearm as soon as possible so that the job will be
easier and there will be less opportunity for corrosion to start.

Periodically, when your firearm has not been fired, we suggest you clean it
when necessary and at least once or twice a year in a temperate climate, or
as often as once a week in a tropical climate. If you carry a loaded firearm
UNLOAD it and clean it when necessary and at least once a month. If you
get your firearm wet, clean it as soon as possible.

 HOW TO CLEAN

The following cleaning procedure may be used both

periodically and after firing; however, those items marked
with a “*" are unnecessary for periodic cleaning.

Materials: Cleaning rod, cleaning patches (cut to fit snugly into the bore),
a small nylon brush, good quality light gun oil, *gun cleaning solution, * a
brass wire bristle bore cleaning brush, and a chamber cleaning brush.

Procedure:

CAUTION:

ENSURE THAT THE FIREARM IS NOT LOADED.

1. Strip for cleaning as previously described.

Note: Avoid contact between the cleaning rod and the muzzle as resultant
wear will greatly reduce accuracy.

2. Attach a cotton flannel patch to end of the cleaning rod, insert it in the
chamber and pass the rod and patch down through the barrel. Repeat,
changing patches with each pass
through the barrel, until the last patch comes out clean.

Page 36
3. Visually inspect the barrel; if it is clean, proceed directly
with step 8, but if it remains dirty, continue with step 5.

4. *(Note: Items 5 & 6 should be applicable only after firing.)

Attach brass wire bristle bore cleaning brush to cleaning rod
and dip brush in firearm cleaning solution. Thoroughly scrub
out barrel, passing the brush all the way through before
reversing the movement. If you try to change direction with
the brush in barrel, the brush will stick.

5. Attach the larger, chamber cleaning brush to the cleaning rod, dip the
brush in bore cleaning solution, and clean the chamber. Use a minimum of
five plunge strokes and three 360 clockwise, rotational strokes.

6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 above.

7. Use bore cleaning brush, still wet with firearm cleaning

solution, and clean all carbon and powder residue from
around the gas tube in the upper receiver, bolt locking lugs,
bolt rings, firing pin, bolt cam pin, lip of the extractor, and
inside the bolt carrier group. If any of these conditions are discovered, have
them corrected before firing again. (See Servicing and Repair later on in
this section.)

IMPORTANT: Do not use a wire brush on aluminum surfaces such as the

upper and lower receivers and the handguards.If cleaning is necessary,
avoid scratches and wear by using a small nylon brush or flannel patch.

8. Wipe all components clean and dry and inspect them for excessive wear,
corrosion or mechanical damage. If any of these conditions are discovered,
have them corrected before firing again. (See Servicing and Repair later on
in this section.)

Page 37
 9. Lightly dampen a flannel patch with gun oil and pass it once through the
barrel, leaving a thin film of oil on the inside surface. Leave this film of oil
on the surface if firearm is to be stored. If it is not be stored, or if it is being
removed from storage for use, pass the dry patch through the barrel and
chamber to remove as much oil as possible.

lO. Check that flannel or brush bristles have not become lodged in any part
of firearm, then lightly lubricate the following parts:

a. ejection port cover latch

b. ejection port cover spring
c. action springs and pins
d. charging handle catch
e. charging handle catch spring
f. inside rear or bolt
g. mouth of bolt key
h. bolt carrier exhaust ports
i. forward assist

11. Reassemble the firearm as previously described.

l2. Remove any gun cleaning solution, oil, and finger prints from the outside
surfaces of the firearm. (Finger moisture, if left, could start a corrosion
process.)

STORAGE

! CAUTION:

ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM FOR STORAGE AND STORE

AMMUNITION SEPARATELY.

Store your firearm and ammunition securely locked in separate locations

out of reach and sight of children. (Children are naturally curious and do
not always believe or understand the real danger and responsibilities of
firearms.)

Note: Do not store your firearm in an air tight container, and do not seal or
attempt to seal the barrel to exclude dust, as internal steel surface is more
likely to corrode.

Servicing and Repair

Should your firearm require adjustment or repair, contact Radical Firearms

and you will receive shipping instructions. For spare parts, seek advice
from the dealer who should have up-to-date information on how to best
obtain genuine parts.

Page 39
 An illustration and list of part names are included in the next
section of this instruction manual to help you identify the
parts you need. Parts should be installed by Radical Firearms or by a
competent gunsmith. When ordering parts, please provide the part name
as it is given on the Parts List along with the serial number of the firearm.

IMPORTANT: If you make unauthorized adjustments or use

unauthorized parts, Radical Firearms will not assume
responsibility for the functioning of this rifle and your warranty may
become void.

NOTE: THIS FIREARM IS MANUFACTURED TO PERFORM

PROPERLY WITH THE ORIGINAL PARTS AS DESIGNED. IT IS
YOUR DUTY TO MAKE SURE ANY PARTS YOU BUY ARE
INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND THAT NEITHER REPLACEMENTS
NOR ORIGINALS ARE ALTERED OR CHANGED. YOUR FIREARM IS A
COMPLEX TOOL WITH MANY PARTS THAT MUST RELATE
CORRECTLY TO OTHER PARTS. PUTING A FIREARM
TOGETHER INCORRECTLY OR WITH MODIFIED PARTS CAN
RESULT IN A DAMAGED FIREARM, AND DANGER, INJURY, OR
DEATH TO YOU AND OTHERS THROUGH MALFUNCTION.
ALWAYS LET A QUALIFIED GUNSMITH WORK ON YOUR
FIREARM AND CHECK ANY WORK YOU THINK WAS NOT
PERFORMED BY A GUNSMITH. We at Radical Firearms think
this is a small price to pay for firearms safety.
