The New Kel-Tecs

[patrickosuave]

I for one, hope everyone buy's more of this fancy look'in low quality polymer crap. It'll leave more buying opportunities for decent firearms.
If Keltec spent half as much on QC and engineering longevity into their product as they do on it being "nifty" looking I'd probably buy another one. Till then, meh.

Is it just me or do both rifles look bent in the middle above the trigger? They dont look straight to me at all.

Nope!

It's the 1st thing I noticed as well.

The 1st picture of the M43 is behind a glass so that could account for that, but the other two pictures I really don't know. I HAS to be a camera thing...has to be.

 

[BenL]

I keep looking at my original pictures and feeling bad that I didn't run them through lens correction.

So here's some slightly better ones:

Should have read the whole thread 1st eh.

Ah well, at least I know Ebola and myself are that crazy

In case you missed it the first time.. I made several references to military-wannabes. So yeah. Missed. The. Point.

And what qualifies you to determine what "military wannabes" need?

 

[edwin-97a]

Nice, thank you.

Really like the old school look of the M43

That is steam punk hideous. I love it. I will shoot it dressed like this:

Get a bunch of fancy mag pouches and a brass-accented plate carrier and you could got for "steam punk mall ninja".

You first. I will consider putting brass thingamabobs on my night vision gear though, to add weight and increase the cool.

People naming high prices never help us.

I would pay at least twelve billion for one of these rifles...

 

[beltfed]

Don't talk about stuff you know nothing about.
It makes me laugh when people talk about stuff they are completely ignorant about as if they're experts.

Careful...

People like to poo on the RFB because... So what? It's the only forward ejecting bull pup we have...

You fit that Mould quite nicely...

Type 97 killer?

Heh, a nice alternative, but surely not a killer, not even close.

$2k seems a little excessive. That is Tavor territory..

I would have given this some serious consideration at $1400, $1500 max.

So, how can kel-tec make the su16, a polymer .223 that takes AR mags, for less than half the price of the rdb, a polymer .223 that takes AR mags? Bullpup config does not amount to 200% increase in manufacturing cost... does it?

Yeah 2K is steep. Add the US conversion rate and a special run of 18.5" barrels for Canada.
These will be $2500+ Tax in Canada.


Desert Tech bullpups are $2150-223 and $2450-308
Sound sucks but he says MSRP

If this came out ahead of the T97 I'd be more excited. With both a Tavor and the Norc in my stable, it's kinda like staring at a hamburger after a big kosher dinner and some Chinese takeout -- no thanks, but maybe later.....

 

[mg4201]

The 2k msrp is bad but with the vault bringing these in with the customary vault monopoly markup it will be more like 3000.
