The Kel-Tec RDB has a 17.5” barrel to stay above the legal length requirement. The RDB-S (Survival) has a 16” pencil barrel and stays above the legal length with an adjustable stock. I currently own a standard model RDB and the hunting rifle version, the RDB-C. The RDB-C does not have a pistol grip, much like the Survival model. These rifles are actually very nice weapons. The stock on my C model has been changed to a standard RDB stock. Neither is my ‘go to’ rifle but there is a place for each of them in my gun safe. I’ve never had a failure with either rifle but I don’t shoot them much. The standard has a Vortex SPARC II red dot and the C has a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x variable. They are light, not overly bulky and I find them ergonomic as well.
The Tavor and AUG are both excellent service grade weapons and I have owned both, in the past. I do not see the Kel-Tec rifles as direct competitors for either of these rifles as of yet. But, I do believe that the US C SOG use the RDB and Kel-Tec shotguns as their standard weapons.This was several years ago. I’m sure of their status today.
