Unlike the old Bushmaster Varminter models from back in the days of the Assault Weapons Ban with their tubular aluminum handguards, the new V-Radicator models have MLOK handguards. But much like the original models, the V-Radicators have heavy stainless steel barrels and .223 Wylde chambers.

There are six V-Radicator models, three for free states and three for California. The three available barrel lengths are 18, 20, and 24 inches. The 18- and 20-inch models have a 1:8 twist, and the 24-inch model has a 1:9 twist rate for use with lighter and fast bullets. Prices range from $1,102.95 to $1,128.95.
