I can't post the link from my tablet but search Iraqveteran8888 kel tec RDB M43 if you want to see them in action. Why they gave them to this guy and not hickok45 or nutinfancy I don't know. Thought some of you might enjoy it

Neat gun. Can't wait for them to come in, along with the newly designed K&M M17S.

thanks for posting, but I'll wait for the M43 in 7.62x39 with AK mag

edit; or an AK bayonet and a surefire mag... that thing looks out of this world aha

They must have listened to me about building a M43 without those ugly sights.

No he pretty much told you to stop whining everytime some rips on kel tec or the rfb after your "shame on you" rant towards ATRS

I want to like it but these guns like the rest of kel tec guns have to many rivet and screw holes. This makes them ugly as sin and look cheaply made in my opinion. Swiss cheese comes to mind.

I would love some description of the action. How does the downward ejection work? Is there a pic or description anywhere?

The bolt and carrier will likely be configured similarly to the AK bolt and carrier, which a short carrier and a long stroke piston coming out the front. Now as far as the bolt goes, look at the front of an AR bolt and re-position the ejector to the 12 o'clock position and the extractor to the 6 o'clock position. This will eject the case downwards. Now obviously the bolt carrier has a very long (relative to cartridge length) travel of about 2-1/2 magazine lengths, meaning that when fired, the the bolt travels backwards and clears the back of the magazine by at least 1 whole magazine length, allowing the spent and live rounds to be extracted and ejected downwards at the rear of the rifle. I do not know how the firing sequence is initiated, if it is by hammer or striker, but that it not that important at the moment.

AK carrier:

versus an AR carrier:

And an AR bolt face. Rotate it 120 degrees counter clockwise and that what is would likely look like.

That's reasomable. MSRP is $2150 on the 5.56 model, so likely $2500 in Canada. However, Kel-Tec is shooting for $1500/$1800 for the RDB and M43 respectively, so likely $1800/$2100 landed.

Lots of guns I am waiting for.....M43, DT MDR, CZ805, Ulfberht, RPD, ATR 308, etc. just a matter of which order they become available in

Msrp is down to 1300$

I'm pretty sure that its a Short Stroke Gas system... (info)

I've been following this one close... looks like a winner if they pull it off right.

Watch a 0:22 and you can visually identify it as a long stroke gas piston. It may well be short stroke, but the configuration of the carrier is that of a long-stroke.
