Design and build quality

The RF-15’s forged receiver construction provides a solid foundation for accuracy and durability under extended use. The anodized finish helps resist corrosion and wear in field conditions. The 15″ RPR MLOK handguard offers a slim, modular platform for lights, lasers, and grips while keeping weight forward for improved handling during transitions.

Ballistics and the .300 Blackout advantage

.300 Blackout is notable for delivering substantial terminal performance from short barrels and for compatibility with subsonic loads when suppressed. The RF-15’s 16″ barrel with a 1:8″ twist is a versatile compromise: it stabilizes a broad range of bullet weights from lightweight supersonic rounds into heavy subsonic projectiles, making this rifle suitable for home defense, close-quarters work, and short-range hunting.

Ergonomics and controls

The B5 pistol grip and B5 stock combination supplies contemporary ergonomics and a secure cheek weld for optic use. Controls follow AR-standard placement for easy transition for trained operators. The included 30-round magazine provides ample capacity for training and range sessions while remaining compatible with commonly available AR-pattern accessories.

For those evaluating value, the RF-15’s feature set — forged receivers, MLOK handguard, anodized finish, and the .300 Blackout chambering — at $525.99 positions it as a practical, mission-ready entry in the Semi Auto category. View product details and pricing
