Keltec RFB Rfb_at10
The OG 308 Bullpup.

Pictured is a Gen 1 Keltec RFB18
Weight is 8.6lbs before Modifications
5.5lb trigger (No mush,super short take up and no overtravel)
Lucky Irishman Handguard
Cobalt Kinetics Hx Works Muzzle brake (Works with HX works Cans)
Houge Glock Sleeve grip
Hoptic USA MDR saddle.
Keltec extended charging handle
PA4x and Viper red dot.

Uses FAL magazines, has a tunable gas system and departs from the traditional "trigger bar to trigger pack" method found in all but the Keltec bullpups.
Weight is centered over the pistol grip instead of a rear Bias, common in other bullpups.

A note on the gas system. You do not need to tune it for "Every Ammo Type." My expertise with this Gen 1 says there's typically a setting for:
168gr/175gr Brass cased Match
150 Brass cased
147Gr Surplus (This one IS kinda all over the place pressure wise).
Steel Cased Ammo.

There is ALOT of metal in this rifle. The Barrel is connected to a receiver that is then covered by the polymer lowers.
Check out how safe your face is gonna be when subjected to a round nearly 4x a proof of over charged load. (I don't think you can come anywhere near this unless your using pistol powders).


Interweb folks like a set it and forget it method..Which sometimes bites them when going from 175gr Match ammo to 147gr Steel cased (it will malfunction).Typically,if you search the comments in videos for the RFB when its not working, this is what the main issue is.
However, If you want to see how to set the gas on an RFB, heres a video.


There are also interweb folks that say they would like an RFB but would like for it to be compatible with SR25 pattern magazines (availible in most gun shops) vs the Fal magazines (Available from DSArms or other internet only options/Gun show)
-If this is you, hurry up and make a lower like that for the RFB. Im sure you would have folks ready to convert Very Happy
