kel tec rfb feeding problems

Post by OttoBurgess »

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

Send the whole rifle back to Keltec, they'll fix it.

Send the rifle to me I'll take that piece of junk off your hands..............sorry had to say it, Good luck with it, I've wanted one since they came out, but I could only afford the Ishapore 2a1 I just bought...still, it's a 7.62 x 51.....
We continue to be exasperated by the view, apparently gaining momentum in certain circles, that armed robbery is okay as long as nobody gets hurt! The proper solution to armed robbery is a dead robber, on the scene.
