Keltec RDB Trigger Work
Posted: April 9th, 2020, 5:45 pm
I just got a Keltec RDB a couple of weeks ago. So far, I really like it! The trigger is great, but I wanted to reduce some of the take-up and overtravel.
I installed a take-up screw above the trigger guard that cut out somewhere between a third and a half of the first trigger stage. Tightening the screw beyond that continues to shorten the first stage, however, it disables the safety. I wish I could cut a little more travel out of the take-up, but I'm still happy with the results.
The overtravel screw stops the trigger immediately after releasing the hammer, and I can't detect any movement beyond that. The position of the overtravel screw is unorthodox and I really don't like the visuals of it's mounting, but I don't know how else to implement an overtravel stop screw from behind the trigger on this particular rifle. It looks like it might be flimsy, but it's holding solid. Time will tell how this application holds up, but I can see having to implement a nut on the top side of the trigger guard to hold the screw firmly in place into the future.
Although there is no adjustability on the fly, I think the trigger is dialed in nicely. Both screws are 6-32 threaded directly in the polymer, and I'm using Loctite to hold them in place. The overtravel screw is also countersunk into the trigger guard, so the head doesn't interfere with my middle finger. I hope this helps someone out there.
Has anyone else tried messing with their RDB trigger?
