Great bolt looks super clean with the dust cover open the teeth for the forward assist are hidden, looks really slick. Feels great, properly staked key haven't put many rounds through it yet but satisfied so far

I have the Lantac Enhanced BCG for the AR-15 platform that also has the enlarged rear boss for a better snug fit in the uppers raceway and more consistent alignment in buffer tube and also when bolt locks back into battery. I haven't measured its boss nor the Radian Weapons E-BCG's boss, but they look to be the same dimension or very close(within .010"-.015" of each other) and basically seems the same as the Lantac model but may not have the redesigned forward facing gas vents/ports instead of just regular outward facing ports. That's not a big deal though. It maybe to guys only running supposed rifles & pistol AR's, but would think they'd be using a Gemtech, Rubber City Armory or similar adjustable & non-adjustable BCG that are designed for suppressed use. Still the quality of the machining & coating process is as good and on par with Lantacs, CMC's, San Tan Tactical, and the other tier 1 guys. They also precision grind the bolt and BCG with a surface grinder for very precise & slick as a baby's butt surface b4 even coating it! I've ran it in all my ARs from a 10.5" long 5.56 barrel pistol AR, my 16" AR's, too my longer barrel 18" 6.8SPCII & 26" 224 Valkyrie ARs but with a 6.8SPCII bolt swapped in for the last 2. It ran flawlessly in all 4 AR's with at least 60 rounds in each, but with the 2 5.56 uppers I ran 150-200 rounds in each with only oiling it and wiping it off when switching to different upper. It was on sale for $120-$125 & includes bolt and the Lantac was $300 & the other guys with same or similar design are $150-$250. For that price I can live without redesigned ports(which it may have anyway) and get 1-2 extras lol.

First off ive uses these in my last 2 builds and zi have 1 from Radian $209 and 1 from Midwest Industries $169 and their both made by the same manufacturer and are identical. I did replace the bolt that came with this with my JP Enhanced DLC bolt, replaced campin with Lantac domed pin and titanium dlc firing pin. Also as others have said the staking on both of these bcgs was kind of weak, but luckily I own a MOACKS jig and I staked these properly. Everything else seems well made and is to spec as far as tolerances, gas key screws, etc… Nitride makes cleaning this bcg simple and fast. This found a home in my lateset ADM UIC billet build and

I have this Radian enhanced BCG and I own a Midwest Industries enhanced BCG and their both identical and made by the same manufacturer. Only difference is the logos and the Midwest Industries is about $40-$50 cheaper but the same. No issues after 1800rnds. I replaced the cam pins with Lantacs Domed cam pin and I replaced the one bolt with JP Rifles enhanced bolt. Nitride is holding up pretty well with some slight wear on the rails. One bcg had some pretty weak gas key staking and the other was good.

I've had the Radian BCG for 2 years in a older style M16 A2 and its been perfect in terms of function.The staking seems a bit on the weak side. I probably could remove the screws without any resistance but not wanting to break any locktite I have not attempted. Compared to my two Colt BCG the stakes on the Colt are what they should be no way the screws could back out. The Radian looks like they could back out. Other than that the BCG works well no issues.
