The charging handle can be switched from side to side. The controls of the RFB are ambidextrous. This one is a typical 20 round aluminum box mag, but it will take any standard FAL magazines.

The Kel-Tec RFB’s magazine slides in behind the grip. You clearly can use it at shorter distances, so back-up irons are a must, but it can stretch out. 308, the RFB’s range far exceeds the potential of iron sights or unmagnified optics. The gun is sold without iron sights, but there’s ample rail on the flat top for the addition of just about anything. At 8 pounds, the RFB carbine is lighter than most other battle rifles, but the shortened length is really the selling point. The gun is 26-inches long, which is amazingly compact for a rifle with an 18-inch barrel. The RFB, or Rifle, Forward-Ejecting Bullpup, is Kel-Tec’s battle rifle. 308 into a compact package that safely and effectively delivers maximum firepower. Have you ever looked at an AR-10 or an M14 and thought, I’d really like to put my face right on top of that chamber and pull the trigger? Well, maybe you haven’t.
