Kel-Tec RFB

[Scorpiusdeus]

I swear I tried to use the search function. I tried Kel-Tec, I tried RFB...

"Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms."

Soooo, is this thing Cali legal, anyone have one? What's the word on these?

[mif_slim]

thats the 308 right? I dont think its CA legal...

[i1800collect]

it would need a bullet button. dont know if anyone's made one for the Keltec RFB tho.

Not without a BB of sorts or an MMG/Solartactical it isn't...assuming the OAL is greater than 30 inches and (if going the MMG/ST route) there are no nasty flash hiders.

It would definitely need to be middle-manned, either way to look at it.

Yes, it's the .308 I really like the idea of this thing.

AOL is only 26" on the current model....

Fondled one at the SHOT show - its much heavier than it looks. Also fondled a Sub 2000, making plans to get one modified to featureless and sent to me.

according to their website, they have a "target" version, which has an OAL of 40" with a 32" barrel.

I've been planning to get one for Nevada use. In CA it will remain disassembled.

there was a "rumor" going around they were thinking about making a california legal one with a factory bullet button...

What's the point to go AOL of 40" for a bullpup ?

haha, i know it really defeats the purpose. i just wanted to make sure the OP knew that the option existed, in case he was really dead set on getting a kel-tec rfb.

anyone find pics of the target version....

[Scorpiusdeus]

I would prefer as small a version as possible as I see this fitting very nicely into that Bug Out/Get home rifle category. In the event of a major earthquake or other natural disaster I have a 30 + mile trek to make to my "strong hold". As much as I love my M-1A and or my PTR-91, neither one of them are very concealable in an emergency.

If portability is going to be a determinative factor, then I suggest an SU-16CA that folds and could be put in any size backpack or carry bag and can use pre-pan mags (SU 16 haters, save it for another thread). We are talking a SHTF gun for use in bugging out and getting you to a safe location - not a have-to-clear-Fallujah weapon. In a SHTF clear out scenario you are going to be mobile, walking maybe, moving through urban areas and moving through/past law enforcement barricades or checkpoints, EMS stations, etc. Better to have something in a backpack and look inconspicuous than walk around with a "battle rifle" on a sling.

I love my AR, my SKS, heck even my Lee-Enfield, but if I were going to be carrying any one of them on foot for any length of time or distance I would pack my SU16 if I were going to try to avoid firefights and only fire if fired upon. I'd save the others for defending the castle or more permanent moves.
