Kel Tec RFB .308
Everyone shooter has their gun wish list. Mine has everything from M1’s, Western Guns, and 1911’s. But anyone that knows me knows I have the Black Gun Disease, as my buddy Scrubber Man says. Black Gun Disease is not to be mistaken with the coal miner’s “black lung” or the orthodontia disease “Black Gum”. “Black Gun Disease” is the draw to AR-15, M-16, or military/tactical style weapons.
Today I have added a new black gun to the top of my wish list. The Kel Tec RFB.
Ok so the picture isn’t that good looking because of the blue carpet, talk to the folks at Defense Review about that! So according to the article I read in the Special Weapons Magazine the Kel-Tec RFB is a .308 Winchester with barrel lengths 18″, 24″, and 32″. Depending on the barrel it weights between 8.1-11.3 pounds (empty). It doesn’t come with sights, so that means its a flat top. It is Semi-Automatic gas operated with a Parkerized finish and Polymer stocks.
Ok OK OK… So its specs are standard. I like it so much because of the Rifle Forward Ejection (RFB). The spent cases are ejected forward. That means the rifle is naturally ambidextrous and can be shoot right hand or left hand. So my lefty friend Scrubber Man can quit complaining about the cost of Left Hand Rifles. Well the cost of this beauty is enough to make anyone’s jaw drop. Estimated cost is between $2,000 and $3,000.
Often referred to as the Bull Pup it will be available in 5.56mm, 6.8mm SPC, 6.5mm Grendel, 7.62×39mm, and 5.45mm. The name Bull Pup is foreign to me? This weapon isn’t really all that new as the prototypes were rumored to be developed before the assault rifle ban of the 1994 Ban, according to Mike Detty of Special Weapons Magazine. I don’t want to bog you down with details and paraphrase the magazine. Just go out and buy the magazine. Besides who really cares when the rifle is that cool. I found a YouTube video that shows the gun in operation.
