Overview
The Kel-Tec RDB Survival is a semi-automatic, magazine-fed bullpup rifle chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO / .223 Remington. Designed for compact utility and ambidextrous operation, the RDB platform optimizes handling and maneuverability without compromising barrel length or ballistic performance. Its balanced configuration and integrated accessory interface make it a versatile option for diverse operational requirements.
Key Features
Optimized Bullpup Design
The RDB’s bullpup architecture significantly reduces overall length, enhancing close-quarters maneuverability and transportability. This design maintains a 16.10-inch barrel, ensuring effective ballistic performance while minimizing the rifle’s footprint. The center of gravity is precisely positioned over the grip assembly, facilitating intuitive handling and rapid target acquisition.
Ambidextrous Control Integration
This platform incorporates fully ambidextrous controls, including the safety selector, magazine release, and charging handle. A critical design feature is its innovative downward ejection system. This method expels spent casings directly below the rifle, eliminating side ejection concerns for left-handed operators and maintaining a clear line of sight, regardless of firing position.
Robust Construction & Accessory Interface
The RDB Survival features a black nitride finished steel barrel for enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. The black steel receiver provides a robust core, complemented by a collapsible black synthetic stock and a black polymer grip for ergonomic handling. Two integral MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails are standard; one positioned above the barrel for optics and a second on the handguard for ancillary accessories, enabling comprehensive customization.
