kel tec products?

[the only Qualk]

So sitting at work and coworker brings up a video of the keltec ksg bull pup shotgun and damn it looked bad ass. So wondering who is looking to get one when they a re released? Why or why not...
I also looked and saw the keltec ran I believe the bull pup 308 rifle and man that thing looked sweet. So who owns one? Likes dislikes?
I like different things but want great performance obviously so just wondering who has one. Personally I think they both look bad ass Haha. Thanks and happy shooting.

They DO look great, but the price is a lil salty for me. I am, however, keeping my eyes open for a sub2k 9mm Sig mag model to complement the old 226.

I am VERY interested but may wait till after the first recall

They are sweet looking for sure, but a little to pricy for me. Plus got to wait to get all the bugs worked out of them

Your brand may be a bit tarnished if the first thing your trademark name invokes is a recall notice.

Lol that is kind of what I thought when I read it. This truly the first I have looked into keltec so maybe could enlighten me?

Kel-Tec has let their purchasing public be the beta-testers for a lot of their products. They put out their products a bit prematurely. Google "Keltec recall" and check out the interesting stories people have shared.

I ordered a KSG in late spring after watching a bunch of videos on you tube.
Kel-Tec told me that they would be hitting the dealer's shelves sometime this winter.
I will do the debugging for them.
I have only seen one sell and that one went for $4500.00 on GunBroker.
Once it passed $1800 I quit bidding on it.

I am going to lookup the recall stuff but in the meantime who owns and likes the rfb?

That gun never existed, that auction was a fake...

That would be Ruger, not Kel-Tec

i have the sub 2000 and have not had any problems with it so far

I am on the waiting list for an OD RFB (should have the gen II gas system that way), and will also order the KSG in OD after a year has passed or so. I think they look pretty awesome and have heard some really good things about the RFB (along with the typical bad things, granted!)

The biggest problem I am seeing with Kel-Tec lately is that while they are trying to get their quality up to standards, they are having some pretty serious production issues keeping up with demand. I read on another site that they have about a 16,000 piece backlog for the PMR-30, for example.

For me, since I have heard nothing but good things about the quality of their customer service and doing what it takes to make things right for their customers, I am going ahead and planning a couple more purchases.

I got a catalog from Kel-Tec the other day with an expected MSRP of the KSG of $880. The RFB has an MSRP of $1800, and you can get them for $1350-1500 out the door from your dealer. I would expect once the furor dies down a bit to be able to walk out with a KSG for about $650-675.

YMMV

Have had 2 PMR-30's and love them. Absolutely my favorite range toy, and personally have never had a single issue with either of mine. Although they are the only ones I own.

I would rather see them having a backlog than pushing junk out the door. So many companies, like Ruger, have decided to let the customer do the final QC it is to the point I dislike buying any new gun. Kel-Tec is one of the very few I would trust out of the box.

So THAT would explain why I never got my damn gun!!

I agree wholeheartedly. Take your time, do it right the first time!
I am really looking forward to getting that RFB. I should probably go ahead and look into getting some extra mags for it though. I have a feeling I'll be going through them fast lol

I'm in for the shotgun. Most likely no waiting. Hopefully for Christmas

I want the 308 too, but that will have to wait.

 

[the only Qualk]

So from what I am gathering unless it is in a gun store plan on waiting a bit. And any pictures from owners? Final question is what kind of aftermarket components are out for keltec products? And ar they needed? Thanks for the responses and would be sweet to have the ksg and rfb to be a little different

 

[451_Detonics]

The aftermarket for guns like the .308 rifle and the new shotgun are very thing but there are very few of the rifles in customers hands and not a single shotgun has left the factory yet. In the handguns it is a bit better but honestly there is very little the handguns need. For my PF-9 I did buy a 22 conversion, it allows for cheap practice as well as giving me a small 22 for when I am out hiking.
