I have had my eye on the RBD since it came out and wanted one bad, but not willing to pay the retarded Gunbroker prices I finally had an opportunity to pick up a nice new RBD at the Daytona gun show yesterday for only $1095!! Understanding that there are limited numbers of them in the wild, I am pretty sure I know the answer to my question......is there any aftermarket support for the RDB yet? I can see heavy duty light weight firing pins , QD sling mounts nice magpul-ish style front hand guards with heat shields, aluminum safety switch and so on. Parker Mountain machine (PMM) is doing some really incredible work on the SCAR, it would be nice a shop like that would get on the RDB

There are not enough out there to really justify tooling up for afternarket support yet, at least in my personal opinion.

There are currently no aftermarket products for the RDB that I am aware of.
Not much money to be made when there has only been six made in the last two years (sarcasm). That said, I'm not even aware of any aftermarket parts made for the RFB which has been out for quite a while and relatively easy to find. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. |

Well there are plenty of places that sell KSG do-dads.... they started off pretty rough with most of there issues and yet they have aftermarket support.

RDB aftermarket will probably take off as long as they get the supply out there. Every shooter I know that has shot mine, has ordered or is looking for one. "Is this the gun from Halo? I think I need it!"

The way the handguard is so simply made/installed you would think someone would make one and profit being the only one with a product out there. I personally would love to see a super lightweight mlok option.

That's how I envisioned it just one thin piece (lighter the better). I wish I had the knowhow and machines to do this, it would be such a simple design and save even more weight I think.

I'm looking forward to the RDB receiving some aftermarket support. Honestly though, it's kind of hard to think of things it currently needs.
The few that I do think it needs is a redesigned gas adjust wheel. It needs to be numbered so that users can know what setting their gas is on. Also, perhaps make it require the depressing of a detent before it can be turned as to prevent accidentally moving the wheel during normal handling and storage. I can't imagine that being even a remotely difficult task for a developer. Also, I would like to see a redesigned bolt release that doesn't require downward pressure, instead sideways or even upwards directional pressure. I would like GHW made products for the RDB as they seem to be highly solid and durable parts. Hopefully he can get his hands on an RDB soon and start tinkering. Other than that, the rifle is good to go. |

I could see handguards being available. They'd be easy to make and make smaller. Lots of unnecessary bulk in the factory I think.

Honestly, I don't have any issue with the OEM handguard. It's light weight enough, it fits my hand well. I don't feel like it needs
to be slimmed down. But it seems that is something most people want changed. All I want is a new gas adjust wheel and a redesigned bolt release. |

I'd like to see the factory style handguard WITHOUT the integral rail. Make one that can take different lengths of sub rail. That integral rail just ruins the lines of what would be a really sleek gun.

It looks thinner, and it does not have a rail molded into it. |

If I'm dreaming, I'm going to say a BCM Keymod handguard made out of the same alloy they use in their KMR. That alone, might save another 3 ounces off the front of the rifle.
I would also love for Surefire to make a run of their muzzle devices in titanium. I would probably buy 10 of those in one fell swoop to outfit all of my rifles. |

Rdb needs 300BLK option.
It's design looks to be well made for suppressed shooting. |

Jesus. That survival rifle is one ugly mother fu-cker. Reminds me of the horrible looking NY complaint rifles.
I can't really make out the forward HG that well. |

Look like M lock? I can't keep up with all the different rail options.
I like it. Be nice if it dissipates heat better. I also need more places for lights, optics, and tactical sporks... |

I'm surprised noone here has mentioned a redesigned bolt release for the RDB, one that is quicker to engage. Also a redesigned gas adjust wheel, one with numbers indicating what level of gas you are on. Those two features arguably should take priority as they are both highly important features to the rifle (speed reloads, and peace of mind that your gas setting hasn't accidentally been changed.
