The carbine version of the Kel-Tec RFB rifle.
The Kel-Tec RFB Sporter will be introduced at the 2012 SHOT Show if the rumors I am hearing are correct. From what I hear, the mid-sized RFB will feature the 24″ barrel, putting it between the carbine and target models.
Kel-Tec indicated they would eventually produce a Sporter model when the RFB was introduced, but with all of the projects they have been working on during the past several years, I imagine the R&D on the 24″ model took a back seat to them.
The Kel-Tec RFB Sporter will be chambered in 7.62×51 (not in .223 as some of the rumors have suggested), and the longer barrel will offer increased long-range accuracy as compared to the carbine version.
I don’t have exact specs, but the new rifle should weigh about 9.5-10.0 pounds and have an OAL of about 32″. It should otherwise look and work just like any other RFB (forward ejecting, etc.)
While it did not appear that Kel-Tec spent much time on the rifle in 2011, they did introduce a variety of RFB accessories such as a short quad rail, muzzle brake and a “tactical” operating handle.

Respectfully, I could care less what Kel-Tec introduces anymore.
They have not the capability and apparently not the will to deliver product to market in any quantity, resulting in consistent boutique pricing (read gouging) or internet auction sales by the few dealers who get any. The next “new” anything they should introduce would be a high volume, state of the art, high volume manufacturing facility.
Nice rifle, Felt one at a store, I would buy one if they were around $800 and dealers actually had them to sell
