DESCRIPTION
The RFB is a gas-operated semi-automatic rifle in
7.62 mm NATO (.308 Win) caliber. It accepts standard
FAL type magazines. Barrel options include 18", 24",
and 32". Twist 10" or 11.25".

All controls are fully ambidextrous; the reciprocating

operating handle can be switched to either side. The
trigger mechanism has up to five individual
adjustment parameters. The dual action safety dis-
connects the trigger and blocks the hammer action.

A MilSpec picatinny rail is attached rigidly to the

barrel. No iron sights are provided. A free floating,
four sided picatinny forend or bipod can be attached
directly to the barrel. Patent Pending
The Kel-Tec RFB has several new and innovative features
which are here divided as sub-functions: Ballistic, feeding,
ejection, firing mechanism, and ergonomics.

BALLISTIC
The RFB barrel acts as a spine in the rifle. The compact
receiver and tilting bolt close the breech. The sighting
system is solidly attached directly to the barrel. Forward of
the sights the barrel is free floating. Close to the chamber the
gas pressure determines the dimensions of the barrel.
Further forward, rigidity and mass are more pronounced for
the sake of accuracy.

FEEDING
The hollow, trapezoidal, sheet metal bolt carrier is propelled
by a captive, adjustable gas piston. The return force is from
two small diameter coil springs with a high pre-load. The
mass ratio of bolt to bolt carrier is a favorable 1 : 4. The RFB
utilizes a proven FAL metric type magazine.

EJECTION
Two symmetrical extractors are mounted on the sides of the
bolt. The extractors can rotate around a pivot point in the
back and can also move sideways to engage the rim in the
case. The extracted case is rotated upwards and on the way
forward fed into an ejection chute above the barrel. The
chute extends and turns right to a forward opening where the
case is gently ejected.
