I dunno. Radicals have been known to have loose screws and sub par carrier key staking, but typically gtg.
    DM4 still has tight chambers that's still a current issue.Did play with a Radical and the fit was good. The muzzle device looked like someone missed with the wrench so agree some cosmetic QC was missed. But I'll be replacing it anyway so didn't bother me. Yes I did buy one.

    I've seen more than a few shiny new American made AR's choking over the years. Being made in America isn't a guarantee of quality and reliability in an of itself.

    Guess you didn't see the complaints of bad quality guns, using sub standard parts from the US Community in the last few years?
    The difference between a "good" brand and a "crap" one is how many bad guns get through QC, and bad ones always get through.

    Colt had a batch of bad triggers which they rectified immediately. The rest was moaning about Colt changing roll marks, laser vs stamping and some other parts marking etc.Not a single one about guns that did not work as designed or a shred of evidence that they did not meet spec.The article on Ar15.com on high round count M4 seems to show them as amongst the most long lasting.
