Hello, I recently had that chance to spend the day shooting a Kel-Tec RFB24 and I fell in love and am looking for my own. I found it to be pretty accurate and after looking online I couldn't find of the hunter variant that I fired(24"barrel) and all I can find is the 18" version. Does anyone know of a shop in Ontario that'd be able to backorder it and if not, does anyone have tips for helping the 18" stay as accurate as the 24" when it comes to recommended ammo loads and or mods?
 
Why do you think an 18" barrel wouldn't be as accurate as a 24" barrel?

It's a bullpup, the entire point of which is to be short. Not sure why anyone would want to make it longer?
 
Longer will produce slightly higher velocity and a bit less muzzle blast.... the 24" barrel, while 6 inches longer, is still a pretty compact setup in the RFB.

I'd go shorter and lighter myself.
 
IRG could probably bring one in for you, and if you ever need warranty support they will take care of sending it to Florida for better service then you will likely get in Canada.
 
My RFB is plenty accurate with the factory length barrel. Recommend you try it out as is before swapping barrels.

My main reasoning is for the extra velocity and for what I've seen with my own eyes, they have reduced vertical stringing with a wider variety of loads.
