Kel-Tec RDB FAQ Post

[medvedqc]

that is a great review for your honesty.

Since a new batch of KelTec's are coming into the country, I'll bump this up to the top again since it's full of good info. I've had my RDB for about 4 years now, and except for some fiddling to get the gas setting right and a broken firing pin a few years ago, I haven't had an issue

Some friends and I are thinking of doing a friendly 2-gun style competition, so I wonder, what sling have people had luck with on the RDB?

 

[I Dont Care About You]

I like my RDB but I bought a T81 as a backup. The RDB is a fun and interesting design but it is not a military derived nor suitable rifle.

Where did you get your replacement firing pin?

Not a suitable rifle for what?

Where did you get your replacement firing pin?

I thought I'd bump this post up again, since NR rifle options are limited these days. This FAQ post might be helpful for new / potential RDB owners out there, and again I'd like to suggest that the mods consider pinning this post.

I'm also open to suggestions from other RDB owners if they think I should update / add things to this FAQ.

Thanks for a great and detailed post from OP.

Bumping for relevance and adding my vote that this thread could be pinned.

My RDB has been at the Smith since Canada Day 2023 because the trigger doesn't work safely.

What kind of issues are you having?

What kind of issues are you having?

Repeated doubling and one episode of it dumping a full mag. Not safe and not amusing.

As I am the 3rd owner, Keltec isn't interested in fixing it. When it comes back from the Smith, its going up for sale.

It's called "too much fun for Canada" issue.

Controllable FA is fun. Uncontrolled FA is not.

 

[Horilka]

Of course I was joking. This kind of FA with no sear to control the release of the hammer is bad. Officially I think firearm designers gave up with this kind of FA more than a century ago.

I absolutely love my RDB, guess I've been lucky and have had zero issues, no idea on round count. This is its current state for an upcoming 'Night Brutality' course with canadian Multigun in PG on November 25/26
