We are setting the gas system up per Chad Enos from Kel Tec. The owners manual does descibe this process, but slightly different than the way I approach.......super ez!
Thank you! Finally somebody explained it correctly.... the adj knob turned CCW (left) opens the gas VENTING port to bleed off more gas from the piston for less operating pressure. Turning the knob CW (right) closes the gas pressure venting port to the atmosphere and lets more or all the barrel gas pressure operate the piston.

Use safety flag instead of finger to test for round in chamber. There are + and - marks on picatinny rail. Roll nob toward + allows more gas to get to piston, roll nob toward - reduces gas to piston. I found setting gas with the lightest ball m193 at 55 grains works best. If you adjust with 77 grain ball, you will under gas the piston for lighter loads. Once you find the load that gives you the best group and can get reliably you can reset the gas for that ammo to give you reliable cycling with the softest recoil.

@@Welder6131 Your comment back leads me to think we have a miss communication. I called it a safety flag in the video you called it a chamber flag 2:56, which is correct. I have used the chamber flag not only to prove the gun is properly cleared and safe at the rang but also to verify that there is no longer an obstruction in the chamber area after clearing a jam. If the flag goes in the chamber happy days. If the bolt accidently closes on your finger while checking for an obstruction it is going to affect your groups for a while :(, however if it closes on the flag no harm :)

Thanks for the tips. By the way, I found I did not like the hollow hole in the safety. To fix this, I tool a fired case head of a Winchester .22LR, made sure the case fills the hole, then took some JD Weld and turned the W upside down, fit the case in the hole and cleaned off the weld. Why an upside W case you may ask? Well, I personalized it to my first initial or M for Marine. If no W case, any LR or short will do. I find the safety feels better without the hole and more natural. This works on the SU16 as well. Semper Fi

Not sure on the generations but I have nothing but good things to say about my RDB, no malfunctions, breakages, and it's still puts round on target. I did do a couple of Haga Defense upgrades which have been great as well. I would buy it again based off my experience.
