The Kel-Tec RDBs are coming to Canada at long last! These non-restricted bullpups will be just like the American variants, with an 18.6" Canadian NR barrel, and you can secure one of the incoming rifles with a $200 deposit today towards a full price of $1499 plus taxes. We're told these are expected to be arriving February 2018, so shouldn't be much of a wait...
KEL-TEC RDB .223REM
Through an ingenious and simple arrangement we have solved the main disadvantage of Bullpup rifles; case ejection. Traditional side ejection is not ambidextrous and forward eject, like in the FN 2000 or the Kel-Tec RFB, is quite complex.
The RDB (Rifle Downward-eject Bullpup) features a rotary bolt with a spring loaded ejector and an extractor facing down. The spent case is pulled backwards along the top of the magazine and then ejected through a vertical chute. The hammer is U-shaped and runs outside the chute and above the magazine. Obviously, the bolt travel is longer than traditional designs but well within the ergonomic constraints of a rifle. Other advantages are gravity assisted ejection and higher bolt energy at feeding.
The RDB is built around a common steel skeleton formed by the receiver and barrel sub-assemblies. Bolt, bolt carrier, firing mechanism, ejector chute and bolt stop are identical for all variations. The short stroke gas operated piston is fully adjustable for different ammunitions and muzzle attachments.
