So, is the RFB all that we thought it'd be?

WTH?? That's COMPLETELY different than mine - the weldments on mine are halfway back on the bolt carrier; there are no weldments at all at the forward end, nor is there a spring of any kind between the bolt carrier and gas piston. What is the purpose of the spring between the gas piston and the bolt carrier? Did they re-engineer this entire section??
I thought it was the weldments for the dual recoil springs that were the problem? Do the recoil springs now carry forward, all the way to the front of the bolt carrier? Or is mine unusual in that they are attached halfway along the length of the bolt carrier? Strange.

RFB 2nd Generation
Read the thread from the beginning as well as all my other posts regarding RFB's.
The pics are of the 2nd generation designed to fix the design problems.
Rest easy - When yours breaks Vault is equipped to update.

Yep, I had read your other posts, but this is more than an upgrade, it's a complete redesign of that entire area of the rifle. Wow.
Edited to add: Found this over on the Kel-Tec owner's forum that sort of explains the difference. It really is a completely different design:

I'm waiting to get my.bolt carrier back is the gas block a different design or does it reuse the same one
I still think that whole "threading the barrel voids the warranty" a big pile of crap. Yep...mines threaded (by Dlask) so if my welds break I'm pooched apparently. We'll see about that...but thankfully everything is A-OK so far.

The desert storm versions are threaded by Dlask and the warranty is not violated. I would think if you had a black one and Dlask threaded it you would have a case for an intact warranty.
Ya.. I don't like the idea of having to wait till my rifle craps the bed before known issues get fixed.

Apparently the upgrade works with the original gas block. I'm told the new piston doesnt use AR gas piston rings. I'm not 100% sure but I think the redesign works with the old piston and gas adjust knob.
