Seen on my daily walk through the neighborhood…
SU16D12 The rail was designed by a Kel-tec employee and is one of several made for evaluation. The carbine can be fired with one hand if necessary and runs great with the 60-round Surefire magazine. I’d probably prefer a lighter 20-rounder for vehicle use, but 60 rounds are nice to have if you have to dismount without web gear for spare mags. Parallax free EOTech helps get hits on the move.
For reference, the vehicle is the tiny Nissan Versa. If necessary, the rifle can be brought to bear and fired on a driver-side threat with one hand.

The rifle is from Czechpoint.
This year, I decided to go to St.Louis for the NRA Convention. I will be riding with a friend, so won’t have a vehicle while in town. Need suggestions on where to stay. While I have friends in the area, they are 30-40 minutes away. Info on hotels near the convention from those who’ve been in the area before or any other ideas are welcome.
Dennis is an artist in leather. This one is a true custom fitted just right for the specific owner.

See it big at the NRA show.
…bring a dozen more rounds with you on a Mesa Tactical side-saddle. If you use 3″ shells, that would be an extra full pound of launch-able lead.
Last thing a new shooter needs is an additional handicap of a right-handed rifle.
The same carbine works as an oversized pistol for right-handed adults. It’s good for a quarter-sized group at 25 yards.
Dennis made an awesome custom holster for my friend Dot. Another friend’s 14-year-old daughter is wearing it in the photo. As you can see, a small framed teenager can be comfortable with both a PMR30 on the hip and an RMR30 in hand, enjoying their light weight and ammunition compatibility. Just the combo for a nature hike.
This one isn’t as long as usual, but it comes with an attentive attendant. Continue reading
To me, the support hand placement on the 18″ variant illustrates that the version with a 24″ barrel wouldn’t be too long. The long quad forend would allow greater iron sight radius for backup, as well as a tandem placement of night vision or thermal sight with a red dot or a scope.
Jim Gilliland test-fired this RFB with 168 grain Setpoint ballistic tips and 175 grain Georgia Arms match ammunition. With 4x scope, he got roughly 1.5MOA. Last year, Mike Meador shot it with Federal Gold Match using a much higher-magnification scope and got 0.8MOA. For short-range defensive use, I think the Nightforce 1-4x and backup YHM iron sights should be enough. Viridian X5L light/laser adds another targeting method.
Jim and Missy visited this weekend for photos for various articles. Here’s one of Jim showing a proper stance with a Remington 700.
