    It seems almost everybody is drooling over the 24" barrel. I believe the 24" length defeats the utilitarian purpose of a bull pup. I'll stick with my stock RDB since I have no dreams of being a competitive shooter. It is nice to see the rifle get the recognition it deserves. Now I just need to find one in FDE to go along with my others.

    If they sold this in .308 with better-than-FAL mags, I'd already own one... or more. Hell I'd wade through the FAL mags if I could get RDB design in .308. No, I'm not as interested in the RFB. I had been wondering what kind of accuracy can be squeezed out of these with a lil tinkering. I also wonder what it takes to turn a barrel for one. A reliable semi-auto bullpup SAPR in .308 or better still doesn't seem to exist, but I think it could.

    I always give credit where it is due and although in the past Keltec has gotten some bad press for WC issues on some products. However I was looking at a bullpup to have the advantages of a compact SBR-like rifle with a full sized barrel, especially relevant for 5.56mm. I looked at the Tavor and was interested, but my FFL advised me to take a look at the RDB. Putting my predispositions aside, I checked out the gun tubes which were overall positive. Long story short I picked my RDB Friday, slapped on some MBUS sites to get started and off to the range I went. I usually look at zeroing a gun as a remedial chore, but from the start I am really enjoying shooting this gun. Admittedly I was a little awkward at first with the manual of arms reaching back with my trigger hand to drop the mag, but that wore off quickly. To echo what I’ve heard in the tubes, the trigger has a bit more take up than a good milspec AR trigger, but it is very smooth take up with a wall and a crisp break. Your stock trigger is good enough to remain stock for me. What really makes this gun for me is the smooth action. Hardly any recoil. Definitely less than my AR-15 and pretty much equivalent to my Virtus. A complete joy to shoot. No issues so far. A lot of people complained about the polymer front end. I don’t understand why as there’s hardly any flex and the plastic is quite solid as far as I am concerned. Not changing it as I don’t believe the front handguard is touching the barrel like some of the cheaper entry level bolt guns with soft bendy stocks. The gun does get a tad warm, but not an issue for my shooting.
    It is has been 100% reliable for the first 100+ rounds which is not surprising as you went with a long stroke piston that looks like it borrows from the AK with an AR BCG with an AR rotating bolt face. I have to say the design is very clever with queues from the AR, AK and G3. Really dig it. It is original. I like the mag release. Works well. And having a G3 clone, love the Hk slap. The only thing I’ll ding you guys on is the bolt release. You have to come off the gun to actuate it with both your thumb and forefinger pressing down with considerable pressure to release it. I think you meant for that to be the way of things as they are positioned perfectly for that technique. One finger is not doing it. The positioning is not optimal either, but small potatoes for me as I’ll ignore them generally and just use the charging handle. Just a note for your enginerds to consider.
    At my first range session, everybody around me was gawking and asking me about it. It looks cool.
    To summarize, I’m happy so far with my purchase and to the engineers and your company I have to say, nice job and well done. 👍
    PS - Downward ejection? Genius.
