Radiant 762 — Review

The Radiant762 is a pinnacle of lightweight modularity. Combining Cobalt 6 baffles in the main body with Grade 5 titanium baffles in the module makes this can both light and durable. It is packaged with the M2 brake for QD mounting, making the entire package even lighter. Here's a comprehensive review.

Design and build quality

The Radiant762 features robust construction from high-quality materials, including titanium and Cobalt 6 blast baffles. The front cap is anodized titanium with a Teflon coating and precision-machined for a tight, secure fit. The Dual Taper Mount’s first taper creates a gas seal and concentric lock-up for repeatable return to zero and keeps threads carbon-free. The rear taper provides a friction lock to keep the suppressor on the rifle. A No Go/Go gauge confirms proper attachment. In the long configuration the suppressor plus a 1.5 oz muzzle device weighs 14 oz — lighter than most direct-thread devices.
