Zero Hour had an RFB on the wall the other day. I took a look at it, it's a pretty cool gun.

Many companies start off the way Kel-Tec has - making cheaper products and then moving upstream. The RFB - from everything I have read - is reasonably reliable. As a .308 bullpup though - I don't think it has quite the "draw" that this bullpup shotgun has. I can see this shotgun having massive interest from civilian shooters, home defense'rs, the LEO market, maybe even military.
If they start getting that kind of interest - especially LEO and military - then they will HAVE TO up their quality. If they want to grow the company they will have to deal with all the issues of growing in size - and upping their quality. If they don't - they may crash and burn. If you like working at an entepreneurial Co. - Kel-Tec would probably be a great place to be working going forward.
Cool - I'll have to take a trip down there and take a look.
Found this video while sitting inside waiting for the snow to stop -and cruising the gun blogs:
It's a beast.
Just based on pictures and the video, it seems like if the gun was an inch or two longer, it'd be easier/more comfy to pump the action.
didnt mossberg have a bullpup shotgun in the 90's or 80's? It was aimed at LEOs but i guess it didnt catch on. i am sure you guys know what i am talking about, i am not very familiar with mossberg.
Looks pretty harsh. I bet a vertical front grip would help out this platform a LOT.
i want to watch them shoot all 14 rounds. not just 4 or 5.
This. I really want to see a full review of this bad larry by a non-kel tec employee. Someone needs to beat the **** out of this thing.
From the video and pictures of the internals that are around, I'm betting it's reasonably solid, but somewhat unpleasant to shoot and miserable ergonomically. Combined with concerns about large-capacity-feeding-devices, I think I might go back to my AR and be content with 55gr at 3000fps.

I think I'm qualified to conduct that test

Yup. So make sure you video tape the torture test when you're at SHOT and post it for us ASAP.
lets petition kel tec
I'm going to keep messing around with it until a rep tells me to stop
Several people here can attest to the stupid shit I do with 3.5" supermag turkey loads
any videos?
Kel Tec has posted the KSG to their website and is saying that the MSRP will be near the 800 dollar range. It does state 26.1" OAL and 14 in the mag tubes at 2-3/4. They give no date to market but my guess will be late June-July, they always seem to shoot for that time frame with new releases.

And yes, I'm in for 2 of them, just like their RMR-30 rifles. Look, it gives me another reason to buy another safe.

It's a pump action shotgun made for blowing stuff up. It's not some trap/skeet thing with birds engraved on it with a high rib, gold beads and a stock comb that is precisely fitted to the shooter.
Part of the problem with the $800 ish price tag is that will easily buy you a Rem 1100 that will hold like 8 shells and be a hell of a lot more comfortable to fire.
