Question on keltec RDB?

RDB is 5.56 according to the kel tec web site. Sorry, can’t help with the deals but there have been a few on the ee recently that we’re well priced.

Thank you. I have seen many for sale in Canada that say .223 but some say .556 so I wondered if it was two separate chamberings. Hoping this one will remain non restricted.
 
It seems that RDBs came to Canada through at least three different sources, let's call them "official distributor from BC", "unofficial distributor from Toronto" and personal imports/sales through companies like IRG and other. Those that came through "unofficial distributor" have 5.56 markings on the barrel. It seems that official distributor sold those marked as 223, though I have never handled one and haven't seen markings. Regardless of the markings those rifles were designed for 5.56 and thus will take 223.

As for ban, you can be sure, rifle is on the list. For many reasons. It's a poster rifle for one known hate group, so you can be sure it's included.

It's a bullpup. All bullpups are toast. They are only even here because the bullpup prohibition clause was poorly written last time around.

It will go prohibited. Make no mistake on that. Buy it. Shoot it. Then turn it in for your rebate or not.
 
In case anyone is still not sure;

It says very clearly in the Keltec RDB owners manual that the gun is made to shoot both 5.56 and .223 Remington ammo.

That's for US market RDBs with "5.56 NATO" on the barrel. The manuals don't get updated to reflect changes and a separate version is not made for the Canadian market rifles.

If the RDB has ".223 Rem" on the barrel, it's an official Canadian market RDB imported through Vault Distribution, and comes with the Kel-Tec lifetime warranty. It absolutely has a .223 Remington chamber.

Any RDB that has a "5.56 NATO" barrel is grey market and is not warrantied through Kel-Tec.

LOL. I have a rifle being repaired under warranty as we speak.

In actual fact; Guns imported by IRG have BETTER warranty coverage than guns imported by Vault.

If you have a problem with a gun that was imported by Vault; It is warrantied in Canada by Vault Distribution.
(They aren't allowed to send it back to Keltec)

But if you have a problem with a gun imported by IRG; It is warrantied by the actual Keltec factory in Florida.
 
Yes I am the original owner.
My gun was sent back to the Keltec factory in Florida for repair.

All of this info is on IRG's dealer forum page.

Warranty Clarification when purchasing from IRUNGUNS
In regards to Warranty Service when you purchase a firearm or accessory from IRUNGUNS:


There have been many rumours circulating about the warranty service that IRUNGUNS customers receive whenever they require warranty service. We would like to take a minute to establish the facts and explain what our customers can expect when they purchase firearms from IRUNGUNS.

IRUNGUNS holds numerous licenses and has the capability to export, back to the U.S., any firearm that we initially imported into Canada. This means that, in the unlikely event that your firearm would require warranty service, it will be returned directly to the manufacturer’s plant for any work that is covered by their policy, including any recall that should occur at any time after your initial purchase, including voluntary upgrades.


There are many advantages to having your firearms serviced by the manufacturer for warranty, as opposed to sending them to a warranty center in Canada.


First technicians who are employed by large firearm manufacturers undergo hundreds of hours of training. In addition to being formally educated gunsmiths and machinists, they usually specialise in certain models of firearm and work on those same types of firearm on a daily basis.

Second, they have all the proper tools at their disposal and parts in stock to keep the turnaround times as short as possible. They also have the original equipment used to finish or coat the firearms and can correct any esthetic issue that would have presented during service. Occasionally there are very large recalls which may cause delays in service but, generally speaking, the firearms that are sent for warranty are usually returned within a matter of weeks.

Third, in the event of extreme issues or critical failures, the manufacturer has the ability to completely replace a firearm. In the case of restricted firearms, should this happen to you, we will handle all the processing and ensure that the new one is registered to you before it arrives in Canada.


Consequently, there are many advantages to purchasing firearms from a specialized importer like IRUNGUNS. As long as the issue that arises with your firearm are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty policy, IRUNGUNS will ensure that it is serviced correctly by the manufacturer.
