I've been wanting a short handy 5.56 for a while now. I refuse to pay the .gov for the opportunity to request permission buy or build an SBR. I had a great little Zastava M85NP with a Sig brace a year or two ago, but the ATF letter about shouldering prompted me to sell it. Now there's a new letter but there could be another one next week. With some of the options now available I'm thinking bullpup.
MDR -- too expensive/vaporware at this point
AUG -- just doesn't float my boat
Tavor X95 -- very interesting, but potential accuracy issues
Tavor SAR -- again, very interesting...but general consensus is that the trigger ain't much to brag about
Now on to the RDB. If Ruger built this rifle, I wouldn't be writing this post...I'd be out shooting my Ruger RDB. That being said, the RDB checks all the right boxes for me. It's about an AR-15 cheaper than the Tavor. It's built in the USA. Great trigger. Simple design. Good accuracy reports.
As with most interesting Keltec weapons, availability is iffy, but they can be found. I've had good luck with their guns in the past, but there are plenty of folks who claim the RDB is an unreliable POS.
Are there any RDB owners out there who can give me some advice? Are there any other good options I've overlooked?
Any opinion is welcome, but informed is preferred. Rather not have this turn into a Keltec bitchfest.
