Yes, there really are still gun owners in California (despite the state government’s best efforts). Millions of them, in fact. And if they’re interested in a California-compliant AR platform rifle, Radian Weapons wants them to know their Model 1 is now available. Here’s their press release . . .
INTRODUCING THE RADIAN WEAPONS CALIFORNIA COMPLIANT MODEL 1
Finally, the acclaimed Radian Model 1 and its patented Ambidextrous Dual Action Control (ADAC) technology is available to the citizens of California. The California Compliant Model 1comes with a SilencerCo ASR compensator or a Dead Air Armament compensator, a Shark Fin pistol grip, and a non-adjustable Magpul stock.
The Model 1 has fully integrated ambidextrous controls. The patented ADAC system allows for the user to lock the bolt in the rearward position by drawing the bolt to the rear using the industry-leading Raptor charging handle and depressing the magazine release button. This patented feature gives the operator unmatched functionality among AR-15 style rifles.
Every Model 1 is assembled by hand, one at a time, by a trained gunsmith who inspects, test fires, and cleans the weapon to personally guarantee it meets the most rigid quality standards. No detail has gone overlooked, which is why the Model 1, like every Radian product, is guaranteed for life.
