Ordered mine 3/4 and picked it up at my FFL 3/9. Already had a grendel in a radical that I've really liked, looking forward to getting the new 7.62 x 39 to the range as well!

Almost every rifle had a different crush washer on the flash hider. They had different finishes, one even had shims instead of a crush washer and about half were canted by about 20 degrees.
Some rifles had an ambi safety and others had a single side safety, even though they were the same sku #.
Receiver end plates had different finishes, some were parkerized, some looked like they were painted or anodized.
Another weird thing I noticed is none of the barrels had the caliber marked.
My advice is this definitely shouldn't be you primary HD gun unless you put plenty of rounds down range and really look it over. For something to keep in the truck or on the tractor I say they are perfectly fine.
I showed up at Radicals shop and asked them to swap out the charging handle and I was out in 10 minutes. I'm in the Houston area, so I leaned toward this for a cheap rifle and if it had any issues I knew I could warranty it easily.

They are price point rifles and I don't think Radical puts a lot of QC into these before they leave the factory, instead the buyer is the QC.

It's an AR, if it don't run right I'll throw parts at it till it does.
If I ever get around to unboxing it
My last order from KYG arrived in about 2 weeks.

Good luck!
