KelTec RDB Defender Bullpup Rifle 5.56 NATO 16.1-inch Tan

The KelTec RDB Defender (KelTec part no. RDBDTAN) is a semi-automatic bullpup rifle chambered in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, built to pack a full-length barrel into a compact overall footprint by placing the action behind the trigger. KelTec finishes this Defender variant in Tan and keeps the RDB’s signature forward ejection system, which routes spent brass out the front of the rifle so it stays clear of the shooter’s face regardless of shooting hand. The bullpup layout gives this rifle rifle-length ballistics in a package short enough for maneuvering in tight spaces.
