Time to throw up my experience with the KELTEC RFB (Rifle Forward eject Bullpup).
I purchased my rifle used and suspect it had about 200 round to which I have added another 400. So far all my ammo has been factory FMJ 147 grain (Sellers & Bellot and American Eagle); I tried 180gr soft point hunting ammo but the loading dents the point and I will be making some reloads using 150gr Hornady A-Max for the plastic tip.
I have tired 3 different types of Mags, plastic 5/20 , metal FN metric 5/20 and the original 5 round metal ; all have performed perfectly with no failures to feed. I have also never had a failure to extract or jam in the mechanism, the rifle has performed flawlessly for me. The rifle strips easily but jams would be a pain to clear. In most cases there is one empty shell in the ejection slide when I disassemble at home as the ejection slide has a crimp to keep cases from flying forward. It is recommended you adjust the Gas ejection system for your ammo; so best select your favorite load and stick with it.
I had Dlask Arms put on a custom made Muzzel Brake and this also has had a positive effect on my grouping and the well being of my fellow shooters, at 18 1/2 inches it is a damn short barrel and the muzzle blast can be intimidating. If you're in a hurry you may want to choose someone else but I find his work is excellent and well worth waiting several months for. (Personal note, I have seen some posts on this forum about lack of communications from Dlask and I have found all my phone calls and e-mails have always been returned no later than the next day.)
My original optic (Burris 2-7 power) was mounted on a high mount and I found accuracy was poor at 3-4 MOA. Since switching the the Bushnell 4-12x low rise I have been seeing a dramatic decrease in my group to the 1-2 MOA range.
The rifle is quite heavy and has a good sized grip but cheek weld can be an issue and I am debating getting a check pad. As most bullpups, balance wise it is a bit tail heavy though I found this to be no issue for me.
For the amount of enjoyment it has brought me I feel I got my moneys worth and I will take it hunting at some point. Hope this review helps you.
The following targets were shot from a sitting rest at 100m and I let the barrel cool down somewhat in-between targets.
Cheers
