I've read online that many people have issues with either feeding or the magazine not staying fully in rdbs when using ar15 mags, does this apply to the rdb hunter as well? Anyone with a hunter, what mags work flawlessly? Looking for 30 round mags assuming it works...

Third here, I admit I'm one of the few that actually prefers the super-short 10-round PMags but across half a dozen I've had no magazine issues at all except for the literal first mag I put in ever at the range I didn't slap it in hard enough so it didn't actually latch.

The issue with mag retention is generally a user error I think, the RDB is... somewhat stiff compared to others I guess? KT seems to have a habit (KSG/KS7 being another example) of building stuff that has resistance just before you're done with something, but finish going that last quarter inch or it won't work.

As for feeding it's turning out to actually being over-gassed a lot; under-gassed it won't lock the bolt back if single-fed, but some folks just cranked the gas up... and that makes things operate incorrectly too and just shred some ammo unsuccessfully. RDB's sensitive to using the right settings for the right ammo, so find an ammo you like when adjusted properly, mark down that adjustment, and stick to it. :)
