Behind the scenes of the Rifle Forward ejection Bullpup and its inventor!

Sometimes inventive genius doesn’t happen overnight. More often than not it is a process of evolution and refinement. Kel-Tec’s new RFB (Rifle Forward ejection Bullpup) is a prime example of this. I first saw the rifle at the 2007 SHOT Show in Orlando, Florida. The bullpup rifle was unlike anything I had seen before.

  I just picked up this copy lately and i’m very amazed at the new improved AK-47 military style.

  I give it a 10/10

  I just picked up my copy of the magazine today. I found this article and fell in love instantly. I have formally updated my list to include this gun.
