How are your RFBs doing? Login/Join

RFB users (Arc and Cliff, I know of), would you please post periodic updates on how your rifle is doing -- the reviews I see are definitely a mixed bag, especially regarding the forward ejection tube causing jams. Also, seeing reports of dinged brass. Are you seeing anything that would curtail reloading for this rifle?

Of course, also looking for the good and positive.

Thanks.

Oops. Accidentally posted in the RDB thread.

I haven't had any issues, with a variety of ammo. It's a typewriter.

I think the early guns had the issues you describe. I'll let you know if I have any problems.


Arc.

Thanks, Arc -- I have one big rifle purchase somewhere on the horizon, and this is on the short-list of someday.

I have a RFB I purchased two years ago but only fired about 100 rounds with zero issues. The RFB is fairly accurate but kicks like a mule. I don't absorb recoil as well as I use to so I don't shoot the RFB and it spends much of it's time locked in my safe. As someone mentioned in another post there were issues with early RFB's that keltec has since corrected.

Mine has been doing fine with a variety of ammo. Personally I don't feel it recoils much, but it is loud with the brake I have on it. (In comparison I also have a Savage bolt action .308 and a PTR - both recoil more).

I don't take it out very often, but haven't been to the range very often lately either. Haven't had a jam with it, and I really haven't messed with the gas settings.
