Radical began as a hobby. They started as a small shop, handling FFL transfers in a modest retail space while building high end ARs and bolt guns for choosy buyers with specific needs. They then brought in another black gun aficionado, who knew workaday guns and business. They soon began to buy CNC machines to create better tolerances for the some of the pieces they were assembling in house. They then bought more machines to manufacture other parts. With more CNC machine purchases they began hiring even more passionate employees. They were creating their own parts at a fraction of the cost, which allowed them to pass the savings on to their customers. they now offer a great selection of firearms and parts that are built here in Texas for the most discerning firearms enthusiast and professional. From Military/Law Enforcement to 3Gun participants they are sure to have some thing that will meet your needs and budget-and they can do for as little as half the cost of other manufacturers.
