kel tec rfb feeding problems

Postby OttoBurgess » Thu, 05 Jan 2012 08:37:52

hello, i am new to the forum

i few months back i picked up a kel tec rfb 7.62 nato bull pup from va arms in nova

i ran about 20 rounds of pmc ball before it started jamming up and not feeding

i ran a total of 100 rounds and gave up on adjusting the piston port

after a light cleaning took it back to the range with similar effect

then i discovered a bent / damaged recoil spring and returned it to va arms who returned it to kel tec for service

it returned three weeks later with a couple of new parts and feed ramp polished

next time at the range it was feeding better but still having some feed problems

granted i have been switching ammo as well

what i cannot figure out is why i am having so many feed problems when everything i saw in reviews people say they have no or very little feed problems out of the box

is it just me!!!

anyone else out there having this problem?

any recommendations???

thanks

otto

Have you tried a different magazine?
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
