For full details, read the link below, but to make a long story short Radical Firearms contacted Primary & Secondary, LLC. to do a review of one of their rifles (see picture in link). Primary & Secondary has done several other reviews of rifles in the past (see links below) from various manufacturers. The review process is lengthy and thorough. 5,000 rounds and sometimes more. Failures are documented and reported. There's no sugar coating it. If the rifle sucks, that's how it goes. This isn't the kind of setup where you pay a dude at a magazine and he writes a glowing review of how great and wonderful the gun is. No. This is real world stuff and the chips fall where they do.

Archer MFG review: https://primaryandsecondary.com/foru...ol-rifle.1499/
Sons Of Liberty Gun Works Review: https://primaryandsecondary.com/foru...e-review.1810/
The review was being done by a friend of mine that is associated with Primary & Secondary and also conducted the SOLGW review (see link above). He does these reviews when he is not working at his primary place of employment. As it turns out there were some issues with the first rifle that Radical sent out so they requested that the original rifle be sent back and that He (my friend from Primary & Secondary) continue the review with a different rifle.

Apparently the folks at Radical did not like the way the review was being conducted and instead of resolving the issue with my friend or the leadership at Primary & Secondary, they looked up his employer and went in to complain to his boss about the review. Keep in mind this review was in no way, shape or form connected to anything that the reviewer does where he works.
This move from Radical is un-ethical and completely un called for. They are dead to me. There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for what they did.
Please share this far and wide.
Just something to consider before spending your money...
