Because radical firearms doesnt own a torque wrench.
Let's take a moment and remember I'm new to the AR, and so are a lot of other folks. We're not buying to join the club, we want functional, safe firearms for need, and then for range fun (and most will be close-range). Accuracy is secondary, as long as it can hit center mass at 50 yds and in.
Are we talking about something metal-fatigue related, or a part walking out when using?

Scoob, see my post above. I've linked to some reviews.
I'm like you. I understand this is a budget friendly gun and there may be some issues. I'm willing to forego those issues knowing I can spend a little more money should I NEED to in order to make the gun more tailored to me and my wants and concerns. But still not have to spend 1000's on a "top shelf" gun.
From all I've read and watched, these guns from Radical Arms are perfectly good guns for the average shooter looking to get into the AR for the first time. Just like with any mechanical device... Keep it cleaned and maintained and it should serve you well for years.
I bought one and am awaiting it with high anticipation.

One of the issues that would come up on forums involved the entire barrel extension coming loose when trying to remove muzzle devices.
Other things I can recall reading/seeing photos of involved gas keys not being staked properly (or not staked at all), extractors breaking, and sometimes the bolt itself breaking. Like I said, maybe they’ve sorted such issues out. I can’t find any info on their site pertaining to what they’re bolts are made.
