CAUTION:
After firing several rounds the exposed metal surfaces forward of the top
cover become very hot and can cause painful burns. Use caution when
handling. Wait at least one hour for the metal components to cool before
attempting disassembly.
Figure 1: This portion gets very hot during firing
Do not use cleaning solvents or any lubrication on the rifle while it is hot as this may cause
microscopic fractures in the surface of the metal and reduce service life.
In owning a firearm, you are responsible for the firearm’s safety and security.
Take steps to prevent children and inexperienced adults from gaining access to firearms
without your supervision. Do not allow a firearm to be used by individuals who do not
understand its safe operation and the rules of safe gun handling. Never store firearms and
ammunition together.
These warnings and instructions are provided to assure the safe functioning of
the rifle. Failure to heed these warnings may result in improper functioning and serious
injury. Practice safe handling procedures until they become habit.
Safe gun handling is your responsibility! There are no accidents, only user
negligence!

Ammunition Use
The Kel-Tec RFB is designed and chambered for the 7.62x51 NATO Cartridge
ONLY. The Caliber is listed on the left side of the rifle above the magazine
well. Do not use any other ammunition.
Kel-Tec firearms are manufactured from high quality materials to provide
extended service life with appropriate maintenance and use. Only use commercially
manufactured ammunition, clean, dry, and in good condition. Never use non-standard,
reloaded, corroded, or damaged cartridges. Use of improperly reloaded ammunition may
result in case head separations. Never use ammunition where the pressure levels exceed
industry standards.
If the gun does not discharge after pulling the trigger, keep it pointed downrange
for at least 30 seconds and then unload immediately. This kind of failure to fire could
indicate a “hang fire” and the rifle may still discharge after a few moments!
All warranties, expressed or implied, are voided if faulty or inappropriate
ammunition is used. Kel-Tec CNC, Inc. will not be liable for property damage or personal
injury in such an event.
Use of Sub-Sonic Ammunition with Suppressors
The standard RFB comes equipped with a rate of twist of 1 turn in 11.25” and
may not fully stabilize slow moving projectiles that are longer than common
180-grain bullets, such as is commonly found in subsonic 7.62 NATO
loadings. Never use ammunition that is heavier than standard if the rifle has a
silencer attached, this may result in baffle strikes, which will damage the suppressor.

Exposure to Lead
Bullets and Primers contain trace amounts of Lead, which can be released
into the air when firing. Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas,
cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result in exposure to Lead
