I like it but the good folks at kel tec must have spit out there coffee wen they saw the mdr and the projected pricing! God the rfb has a 1880 $ msrp and have ben sold for around 1300 $ in the state. Imo unless the rdb hit the shelf around 1500-1700 in the USA its might just be doa...
On another note it seem they did away with the tilting block and went with a rotating bolt.

I'd pay for the M-43 in a non bullpup configuration tho! I think it would probably look like a shorty FAL.
I would buy a shortie FAL.
Finally, keltec built a wood and steel .223 rifle...
$3000!

Well, that's about $2k more than I'd like to spend on the M43Wood and metal are a big plus, but really? 3k? Pretty much every market black rifle comes in under that - tavors, RFB's, XCR's, Sig's.... really guys?
It's a pity the prices are what they are on the M43 because I suspect they're going to look at it not selling and think we don't like all metal and wood designs, when in reality we do, we can just get a lot better stuff for that price.
I'd be interested in getting a breakdown on their pricing too - I get that they may have had to buy new equipment for the larger than usual stamping on the M43... but an extra $500 per unit? (wood duplicators shouldn't be that bad - it's within a hobbyist's range of ability to duplicate wood parts so that shouldn't be a huge factor.)
For some reason I can't edit my post - I wanted to add - the M43 looks like it's got a lot of potential - polymer or alternative grips look like they could easily replace the wood ones if need be (having metal to mount to makes customization way easier than trying to modify/work around polymer) and there's no reason why such things as mag release and the such couldn't be tweaked, since they're relatively simple looking stamped parts - could always add a gripping surface, change size/shape etc. I'd personally remove the provided tall arse front sight and add lower profile irons, then use it as a fun bush/close range gun.

Yep. Cut those prices down to RFB territory and they may have been realistic, but this is at least 50% too much.

I love the wood and steel for looks but again too much money... about $1500 would be ok.

Wow way to #### the bed keltec! I would buy an m43 in a heartbeat with realistic pricing. Like 1400$ or so
Hmm... I was super excited for a bullpup in 7.62x39... but not at $3K.
T97 in 7.62x39, please?
