Well, another fine product shown at the 2007 SHOTSHOW in the Great State of Florida.

Florida's own Kel-Tec Firearm made a new rifle for the civilian/LEO market. The Kel-Tec RFB 7.62x51mm NATO Rifle. It comes in either a 32 inch barrel, 20 inch barrel, or 18 incah barrel. I WANT THIS!!!!!!!! Also she runs off metric FN FAL magazines. Which means 20rd magazine are dirt cheap!!!!!!!

Like the idea of going back to 7.62x51, but I'll reserve my judgement until I've heard more on the reliability of the forward ejection system. I'm sceptical of that tube, it offers lots of chances for real "ball buster" jams.

It certainly looks nice though.

Interesting, but I still prefer the HK417 and the JLD Enterprises G3 clones to this weapon.

What really got me excited was the fact that it is a 7.62x51mm Rifle with a total length of 26 inches!!!! It's smaller then my damn M4 carbine with a 14 inch barrel. Hell, it's smaller then most Class III NFA SBRs and it's legal for civilian ownership. Plus it's a FN FAL in bullpup form. So there is no design problem.

Might even be a future in this. But I prefer the 5.56mm for this reason: you can bring more of the ammo for just the same weight. Or bring the same amount of ammo for less weight (actually this is more important!)

i like the gun.. what is the balance like?

wow, that's a nice looking firearm. looks like it wouldn't cause that many problems in carrying or firing, due to it's small size i guess it would work well in confined areas (houses).

I wonder how much it will cost for the different variations.
