Is The Kel-Tec RDB The Bullpup "Done Right?"

By Bob Owens | 11:22 AM | October 15, 2015

It looks like Kel-Tec has really been responding well to constructive criticism in the development of their RDB bullpup carbine. For those of us interested in the concept of bullpup carbines who haven’t been all that impressed with the execution of them so far, this is worth watching…

I’ve been testing the new Kel-Tec RDB for a few weeks now and have put over 1,000 rounds through it. The RDB stands for “Rifle Downward-Eject Bullpup” and it’s truly unique in design. The RDB is chambered for 5.56mm and Kel-Tec has been working on it for a couple of years. Get ready, the RDB is about to hit shelves soon.
