    Default Ambidextrous 7.62 NATO Bullpup

    I've been reading about people wanting an ambidexterous Bullpup and I hadn't noticed any mention of this particular rifle. I
    use a Leupold 1.5x5 with illuminated circle dot reticle on mine and haven't had any problems. Here is a link

    They are hard to acquire here in the states, but I have seen more here in North Texas. What I liked about it was .308/7.62, 18" barrell, 26" overall length, modified FN FAL type action, and forward ejection.

    Hey Texas

    Thanx for the post, but getting semi-auto rifles out of the States is a serious challenge. The State department is incredibly stringent with export licences, so much so that most US companies simply dont want to deal with South Africa (it appears that South Africa is mistakenly thought of as just another troubled part of Africa as a whole, but that's just my opinion). Its a real pity! We'd love to buy your guns!

    I've had my eye on the RFB for a long time, ever since I first read about it in 2008/2009. I really hope Kel-Tech bring it out in 5.56 NATO and 6.5 Grendal.

    However, its unlikely we'll see it here in RSA.

    Thanx for the post, US members often give us very cool and valuable posts!

    Have to be honest, I just cant get a liking on the bullpup look and design.

    But each to his own, we all have different likes and dislikes.

    I like the idea behind Kel Tec's stuff. They try to do things differently instead of just making another 1911. They "borrowed" the idea from Neostead for the KSG but then again that seems to be part and parcel of the industry.

    I've got two Kel-Tec products, the RFB and a PMR-30 a 30 round .22 Magnum pistol. The PMR is fussy on what you feed it but loves 50 gr Federal. Accuracy is not bad with either.

    The beauty about Bullpup designs, is you can have a full length rifle in a carbine or shorter package, gotto love that!
    Desert Tactical does a awesome barrel interchangable sniper rifle that is a bullpup design!
    The Kel-Tec stuff is very innovative, their PMR-30 is awesome, sooo wish I could lay my hands on one! A 30 Round 22Magnum pistol that weighs around what a Standard sized pistols slide weighs :)

    Bullpups great until you have a case failure.

    Kel-tec designed for the possibility that it may happen but I do not know if it has been tested for efficiency...

    I purchased one early last year. It worked fine, and was quite accurate. However, I'm a large/fat guy, and I'm not really comfortable with bullpup rifles. Sold it.
