Well the postie delivered my new bundle of fun today. I got the call while I was at work that my son was guarding the package until I came home. At which point it was his job to tear it open. Here's a few photos of my setup - hopefully I can get it to the range soon and put it on paper.
Side by side with the Non-Restricted PS90... The FN is still a little shorter
. P90 with the optic, is only 8" high, whereas the RFB is almost 8" from the bottom of the grip to the top of the rail...It doesn't feel it, but the RFB is heavy... mine weighs in at 10 lbs 6 oz with an empty mag, optic, and mount system...
With the action locked open, you can see the empty casing ejection channel.. It's angled across the top of the gun to exit adjacent to the gas adjuster.
1-4 x 24 optic in an A.R.M.S. mount...
I mounted it with the levers on the right side to allow clearance for the charging handle. Seems to work pretty well...
Mag installed - fits in very nicely and jumps out of the gun when the release is pressed.
Selector is in a perfect position for my hands, easily manipulated, and surprisingly quiet.
This one's a bigger pic... I was trying to capture the crown, and show that the muzzle is actually contoured - so muzzle down on a flat surface, the crown is protected from harm... nice!
Mmmmmm..... RFB food....
Additional mags a little tight... I ordered two extra mags, and both of them are significantly "fatter" in the spine than the one that came with the gun. The one from factory fit perfectly - very smooth insertion and ejection. The other two... not so much. I can get in one of them, but pressing the magazine catch does nothing. I suppose they can be "manipulated" into shape, but I'll see what Lanz wants to do first before I initiate operation "Brute Force and Ignorance".
This is the Factory mag - works great!
Impressions...
Pretty good so far... I know Kel-Tec is probably going crazy putting stuff together, so I'll cut them a little slack with respect to a few sharp edges at the seams on the polymer stock - I will remedy this tomorrow. As well, one of the screws that holds the bolt lock tabs on either side of the magazine well was wiggly loose... not a big deal to tighten it but still...
Other than that, it seems very solid. It shoulders incredibly well for such a heavy gun, and because of it's bullpup design, keeping the gun up on target for long periods of time was easy. The trigger on this gun is better than any bullpup I have ever fired. It as good as many of the AR's I've shot, and it isn't as "clunky".
I'll dig into it more tomorrow, as I neglected to bring my armorers tool box home tonight... oops....
