Our Assessment: The Kel-Tec RFB (Rifle, Forward-ejecting Bullpup) is a highly innovative and compact semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62 NATO / .308 Winchester. Designed with a forward-ejection system and a short-stroke gas piston, the RFB is one of the few true bullpup rifles that delivers full-power battle rifle performance in a package shorter than most carbines. The forward-ejection system eliminates the need for a side-ejection port and allows for fully ambidextrous operation—a standout feature among modern bullpups. With an 18” barrel tucked into a chassis with an overall length comparable to an SBR, the RFB offers excellent maneuverability without sacrificing velocity or long-range capability. This example is in Very Good condition, retaining approximately 95% of its original Parkerized and Zytel finish. It shows only light surface handling marks and minor operational wear, with a crisp bore that rates 9.5/10 for brightness and sharp rifling. The impact-resistant polymer stock and integrated pistol grip are clean and intact, with no cracks or damage. While no magazine is included, the rifle is mechanically sound, and the top-mounted Picatinny rail allows for quick installation of your preferred optics or iron sights. The original box, sling, and paperwork are also included with this package.
Whether you’re looking for a forward-thinking battle rifle, a suppressor-friendly .308 platform, or just want something radically different from the AR-10/SCAR crowd, the Kel-Tec RFB delivers. With its compact size, robust gas system, and ambidextrous-friendly design, it remains one of the most distinctive and functional bullpups in the modern semi-auto market. -R.E.
