I have not seen anything about this before and thought the Horde might find it interesting:

Very interesting.

I was interested a couple of years ago when they did the same thing (with the pistol grip and Picatinney rails) at the 2014 SHOT show iirc. Maybe they mean it this time now that it is 50 State kosher or whatever. I heard good things about how it feels and shoots. Who knows though. I'll believe it when I see it for sale.

That look really cool ! I have the gen 2 sub 2000 and it's great. The people I know that have the rdb love it so this should be awesome

" or a helicopter hovering over a javelina herd."

Perhaps feral hogs were the intended target animal in the authors mind.

Interesting bullpup though

Intriguing!

So, I guess it falls to me to shout, "The Emperor has no clothes!"

That abortion is neither bullpup nor conventional, and would never have come into existence if not for the asinine gun laws in states like Kalifornia.

Not sure what that is at the end of the muzzle. If the barrel is threaded and that thing is removable, it won't pass in NY.

i'm still waiting for IWI to come out with their 6.5g BP since they make the mags-- why not??--lol

That thing is the folding front sight assembly. IIRC, the video says the muzzle is threaded. If so, I'm not sure if it'd be legal in CA, either.

You mean the Tavor? It's offered in .300 BLK, but don't hold your breathe waiting for a 6.5 Grendel version.

The RDB in 6.5 Grendel with Nitride barrel just begs to be shot with E-Lander mags and Wolf 100 grain steel case ammo.

An RDB with 17"-20" medium weight barrel 6.5 Grendel suppressed would make a great hog whacking Bullpup.

Agreed!!

I'll agree it's intriguing and looks interesting. But it's FUGLY as all HECK, and I don't like the idea of wrapping my trigger hand around something the size of a 2X4.....

If you want I'll tell you how I really feel about it....
