Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Radikal NK-1 reliable?
Yes, the gas-operated system has proven reliable with standard 12ga loads from #7.5 shot up to 00 buck. We recommend a 100-round break-in period with heavier loads.
What’s the effective range?
With its 20″ barrel, the NK-1 is effective out to about 50 yards with buckshot, further with slugs. The bullpup design doesn’t reduce ballistic performance.
Does it come with sights?
Yes, it includes basic iron sights. The Picatinny rail allows for easy optics mounting if desired.
Can I use 3.5″ shells?
No, the NK-1 is chambered for 3″ shells only. Using 3.5″ shells could damage the firearm.
