kel-tec rdb and m43 news

Not sure how I missed this thread from May. I'm looking to possibly getting an RDB, also glad to see they aren't using some unobtainium mag pattern like they do with the RFB.

you can get the thermold mags (which everyone seems to rave about working better than any other known mag with the RFB) through IRG and the price shipping in is pretty amazing too. Yes so glad they chose to use stanag though, that said there was no 7.62x51mm mag standard at the time the RFB was designed so you can't blame them for going with what was perceivably more common at the time in the US.

Considering no one has handled them and no one wants to speculate, why don't you just email Keltec or go onto their forums? You could have had this answer solved over a month ago...

They don't know more about the gun on the kel-tec forum. Don't blame him he his out to prove to the world that the rdb will suck... It might we don't know yet, it might be a jam-o-matic! But I think it's probably going to be good. Obviously not proven and tested and feelded like the ar and even the tavor, but what do you expect its a new design.
 
Even though I got burned on my KSG I would take a chance and try an RDB.. Looks decent especially taking AR mags I could run more rounds through it than the RFB..
 
Definitely interested in this rifle, especially at a sub-$2,000 price tag. Hopefully it get's lengthened out a bit, and while 7.62x39mm would be sweet, my only concern would be magazines. That said, however, I like a 125gr bullet for in the back woods more than a 55gr bullet, that is if we get it with an NR barrel length up here. If we get it at all up here.

Kel Tec has always been good with us Canadians. They've made us nr versions of the su16, s2k, and rfb so I'm sure they will make one with an 18.6 inch barrel for us Canucks
 
That'd be much appreciated. And even if it did take until the new year, if nothing else it's time to save up money while concurrently stockpiling hordes of ammo.
 
I just can't believe the lab still won't decide. What exactly are they doing with the sample they have had for years already! What the heck do we pay them for. They are fired!

It takes time to machine a new receiver, tweak it to fire in full auto and then claim it is easily converted before classifying it prohibited.

Possibly. They did duct tape an AR upper to a non-AR lower from ATRS once and fired one primed case (not a live round, just a primer) in order to classify the lower as an AR variant. The things they will do in order to wrongly classify firearms know no bounds or limits.
