RDB17 Carbine 5.56 BL/TAN 17"
The RDB17 by Kel-Tec represents a remarkable fusion of innovation and practicality, tailored for both the discerning marksman and the everyday enthusiast. Standing for Rifle Downward-ejecting Bullpup, this firearm is engineered with precision at its core.
At the heart of the RDB17 is its distinctive downward ejection system. This ingenious design ensures spent brass exits through the stock behind the magwell, offering true ambidexterity. Left-handed shooters can now rejoice as they bid farewell to side-ejected hot gas and flying brass – an issue that has long plagued traditional designs.
This model boasts a robust 17.3-inch barrel with a precise 1:7 twist rate, optimizing accuracy across various rounds in .223 Remington or 5.56x45mm NATO calibers. Complemented by an adjustable gas piston system, users can fine-tune bolt carrier speed to minimize recoil when using suppressors while maintaining reliability across different loads.
The trigger mechanism on bullpup rifles often leaves much to be desired; however, Kel-Tec's engineers have crafted an unparalleled solution here with a smooth take-up and crisp break within a manageable pull range of 4-5 pounds.
