Is this ok to own in Illinois

Hi Frederick, yes this is Illinois legal. You still need to check with your FFL, as there are certain area where it is not legal. (Cook County, City of Aurora, City of Highland Park) budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/illinois_restrictions.pdf , Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Frederick and welcome. This is legal in most of IL. However, always check with a local FFL for the latest gun laws. You can find a local FFL by Zip Code and proximity here: https://www.budsgunshop.com/ffl.php ------------ Cheers and stay safe!

The way I read the rules I think it is legal however I strongly suggest you ask your local FFL as he should have the latest information. We are not buds employees we are volunteers that answer questions

Yes, this is DC compliant/legal. Hope this helps.

James, this is DC legal. What looks like a muzzle device is actually just a thread protector, not a flash hider. Pg 19 of owners manual >>>> keltecweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/RDB-C_Manual_Complete_OPT.pdf .....Have a great day!

If this would have a flash hider it would also be banned in California, Wich it's definitely California compliant. That's why it has the CA in the title, cause this models made to be California compliant. When it comes to semi Auto rifles California and DC have very similar laws. So you're good to go in DC. Hope this helps.

James, the easiest thing to do is contact either Kel-tec or you local FFL directly for accurate information before ordering Sir. Cheers and stay safe!

It should be good to go. There is NOWHERE online that states this has a flash suppressor, although some in the community have claimed it does, no one claiming this owns this rifle and none claiming this has produced a link stating it has a flash suppressor. If it does have a flash suppressor it would be banned if not its good to go. Id contact keltec for verification, before id believe James or anyone else in the community who guess and tell you one way or another.

can this rifle use AR 15 mags?

Yes, this rifle uses 5.56/223 AR-15 style magazines. Hope this helps.

Douglas, yes Sir it uses standard AR Stanag Magazines and Drums. --- https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/10610

yes it uses standard AR15 magazines

Douglas, yes this takes any standard AR15 magazine. Have a great day!

Hello, Is this particular Kel-Tec RDB-C model a California Compliant? Thank you..

Yes sir it is. This model is featureless so it is California compliant. Enjoy and Hope this helps.

Jo, yes this is CA compliant. It has none of the 'evil' banned features. Have a great day!

Yes sir it is. This model is featureless so it is California compliant. Enjoy and Hope this helps.

Is this item legal in NY State?

Vladimir, no it is not NY compliant, it has a threaded barrel.

Vladimir, no Sir. The KelTec RDB C comes with a threaded barrel. Details here : https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=1498409

I could be mistaken and it may not be a flash suppressor or threaded so I suggest asking the local FFL to see if it is legal or not as he will be the one putting his license on the line to transfer it to you

If you look at closer pictures of it, I don't think that's a flash suppressor l, if it is aflash suppressor or even if it has threaded barrel that would make it prohibited.

Yes that should be good to go in NY.

sorry the Flash suppressor makes it illegal The following are prohibited: ✘Semi-automatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more of the following features: 1. Folding / telescoping stock 2. Pistol grip 3. Thumbhole Stock 4. Fore-grip 5. Bayonet lug 6. Flash suppressor 7. Muzzle brake 8. Muzzle compensator 9. Threaded barrel 10. Grenade launcher 11.

After twice sending this back to Kel-Tec for repair I sold it. Enough said.

Jamie M on 03/29/2022

Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

This the California compliant featureless version of this rifle. That in no way takes away from the performance and reliability of Kel-Tec's bullpup. I find it to be lightweight and accurate. Cleaning the rifle takes some extra time but is not a hassle. I really like its shorter overall length compared to my AR15. I use a red dot sight as I have no intention of engaging targets further than 50 meters. The only issue I have is how to sling the rifle. I've tried 2 different set ups and was not happy with either. I would recommend this rifle to anyone.

Gabriel E on 05/24/2019

Rating: 5 of 5 Stars!

I really enjoy the rdb-c. It's accurate as Abaddon's flames, and it has a very smooth and simple action. It's design may seem a little odd without a pistol grip, but it's actually a very comfortable feel. Easy to take down and clean as well.
