RMR-30 Prototype!!!
These photos are of a prototype RMR-30, a carbine version of the Kel-Tec PMR-30. How cool is this?
It is being designed by Tobias Obermeit, whom I interviewed on the blog recently. The dimensions look similar to the H&K MP7 (assuming equivalent barrel length). I like the H&K-esque collapsible stock, the generous rails and ambidextrous charging handle. It looks like a lot of fun 🙂
I think they should sell this with a 16″ barrel with permanently attached flash hider, thus making it legally slightly shorter than a 16″+flash hider.
UPDATE: Kel-Tec says that availability and price info to be released at 2011 SHOT show.
UPDATE: What the RMR-30 would look like in black (photoshop).
[ Many thanks to Drew for emailing me the photos. ]
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

it still ain’t an mp7."
It's better.
I'D LOVE TO SEE KELTEC MFG A MODEL RMR-30, ALL BLACK, 16-1/4" REMOVEABLE BARREL (FLUTED AS AN OPTION) SURVIVAL RIFE IN A PLASTIC CASE WITH HOLES IN THE CASE FOAM FOR A SCOPE AND EXTRA MAGAZINES. THIS WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE TO THE HENRY REPEATING ARMS AR-7 IN .22 LR. A PICCATINY RAIL ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RIFLE WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT LOCATION TO MOUNT LIGHTS AND LASERS. IF THE CASE AND RIFLE FLOATED- ALL THE BETTER. I'M DREAMING, JIM G.
