I waited for this stovepiping, FTF, Chunk of $1400 plastic for a year and a half finally get it and take it to the range with some friends to sight in my scope. Had several different boxes of .308 to try all caused issues I couldn't make it through more than five shots without an issue tried factory mag and 3 other fal mags I had it didn't matter. My Saiga 12 was more reliable than this turd on low brass before I fine tuned it. Just wanted people to know maybe this is just bad off the line but if they all run like this one does I advise spend your money somewhere else. Any other owners having issues is so just wink I understand if you feel as embarassed as I do having to admit I flushed $1400 down the toilet[:(!]

Have you tried trouble shooting the problem? Have you had someone that knows about that design trouble shoot it? Ok, so it does not feed what is the exact problem about why it wont feed?
Not a very object review of your gun. I will give you 10 points for the rant though.
OP, kwit fin' tunnin' your own ekwip'mnt.[B)]
This is probably a better forum to go to, if you just came here to complain (or ask for help) about the RFB.

I tell you what. I will give you one hundred dollars more than you paid for your rifle and I will put good ammo in her, break it in, clean it and keep her well lubricated.
I think you are full of poop. Post a photo of your RFB. The only way to get one at that price is if you were a dealer.
Put it up for auction here with a buy it now and I will take that piece of crap off your hands with pleasure. I will even pay full shipping and insurance. It will would be done by your local FFL shop only.
I have the cash, right now... Today..

Maybe you should ask him what he did to operate his weapon properly.
http://www.knesekguns.com/commercial/Rifles-Kel-Tec/c2_172/p693/Kel-Tec-RFB/product_info.html Kel-Tec RFB 1344.99, I don't know why people pay so much for a Kel-Tec.
out of stock. over 100 on order. just talked to them. good people.. no idea as to when they will be in stock. same story all over the country.
kel-tec has the new machines and also makes airplane parts.. but, they need to upgrade their plant for more power. they need to expand.
eventually, their customers will just get it somewhere else and figure out their marketing scheme...
just build the guns guys..... they will sell themselves...
Bullpups definitely have an advantage over conventional rifles. There compact and still maintain a good barrel length. Have you guys seen the magpul PDR,
Never cared much for bullpups when conventional rifle work just fine.
same feeling, they are fugly
As to the bullpup haters,
How well does a 26" long conventional rifle perform?
Such a rifle would have a really really short barrel, have to be registered as an SBR, it would have poor muzzle velocity, and be really really loud.
Or how awkward would a conventional rifle be with a 32" barrel?
The RFB target version delivers a 32" barrel, with a length identical to the M-16.
Under certain criteria, a conventional rifle layout does not function just fine.
How valuable functioning within those criteria are, is debatable.
But if everybody just said the status quo worked just fine, we might still be using crossbows.
I love the shorter overall legnth while maintaining a good barrel length. But I hate the awkwardness of mag changes and shorter sight radius. Personally I could take or leave just about any bullpup I have ever seen or laid hands on with the exception of the mossberg bullpup. That one I like all around, but probably because the 2 major downsides (IMO) of the bullpup are pretty much nonissue with a pump shotgun.
I sure hope it wasn't magpul promoting their stuff.
Who knows.
Who would benefit from trashing on Kel-Tec?
"Any other owners having issues is so just wink I understand if you feel as embarassed as I do having to admit I flushed $1400 down the toilet"
Misspellings, a sensse of embarrassment, saved his allowance for 13 years to buy it, seemss like a cry for he'p.
To me a bullpup is the answer to alot of problems, and it answers them better then most.
the shortest rifle that has good ergonmics and reliability is better then a longer weapon for inside the house defense. It just makes sense, and Like he FS200 switching shoulders is no longer a problem with the RFB.
mine is still NIB as a safe qween i like the overall of the rifle it is scary cool..really looks like a JBT's center piece lots of power in a compact package[^]
why a safe queen? the newest ones will come standard with rails molded into the grips and other accessories. your first generation will become much less than you paid for it when they catch up with demand.
shoot that sucker and enjoy it! you won't get rich off it... ever....
