Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of the Kel-Tec RFB's forward ejection system?

The Kel-Tec RFB features a unique forward ejection system that directs spent casings away from the shooter's face and body. This enhances shooter comfort and safety, particularly during rapid firing or when shooting from unconventional positions.

How does the Kel-Tec RFB compare in price and performance to the FN SCAR 17S?

Nutnfancy positions the Kel-Tec RFB as a high-value alternative to the FN SCAR 17S. While the SCAR 17S is praised for its performance, the RFB offers a more budget-friendly entry into the .308 battle rifle category with its own distinct advantages like forward ejection.

What common issues were observed during the testing of the Kel-Tec PMR-30?

The Kel-Tec PMR-30 experienced initial feeding and extraction issues. The review highlights that these problems are often resolved through proper lubrication, emphasizing the sensitivity of high-capacity rimfire designs to maintenance practices.

Why is testing firearms under physical stress important?

Testing firearms under physical stress, such as in a 'run and gun' course, simulates real-world conditions more effectively than static bench rest shooting. This approach reveals how factors like fatigue and exertion impact a firearm's handling, reliability, and the shooter's accuracy.
