Any idea when the RFB is going to be available? Sometime this fall?

The RFB looks a great deal like the Israeli “Tavor” rifle. Bull pup, long barrel, and integral optic. The Tavor is still in 5.56 though. Not a bad round, wouldn’t want to stand in front of one!

ALWAYS had a love affair with Bullpup configurations...

And the FN-FAL has always been one of my favorites too. The “Free World’s Strong Right Arm”...a great nickname. Too bad NATO didn’t adopt the M14, though...
