Kel-Tec RDB Defender Tan 5.56 NATO 16.1 in

About this product

The Kel-Tec RDB Defender is a compact bullpup rifle designed for ambidextrous use and consistent semi-automatic performance. Chambered for .223 REM/5.56 NATO, it combines a pencil-profile barrel with an adjustable gas piston system to support a range of loads and suppressed use. The design ejects spent cases downward through the stock behind the magwell for true ambidexterity. The Defender configuration includes an aluminum M-LOK handguard and a collapsible stock for compact handling.
