Kel tec SU16C

What’s y’all’s thoughts on the kel tec su16? Thinking of getting the C model so that I can have a 556 rifle in my truck that can fold up. Has anyone ran one of these rifles?

Hello n Welcome to INGO

Another welcome. Make sure you stop by the introductions section and say hi.

As to the rifle, just make sure you don’t leave it in the truck all the time. (Unless it’s in a locked vault) too many guns stolen from cars. IMPD says on average a little over 1 gun a week is stolen from cars in the Indy area. Some are even from unlocked cars.

There is a reason gun safes don’t have windows.

Hope someone comes along with the direct answer you were expecting. Good luck!

To answer your question; I have looked at them as well, but decided to stick to an AR pistol. The Kel-Tecs are relatively expensive, and of course require a lot of proprietary parts. I own a few Kel-Tec products, and they have always been reliable guns. I just couldn't see any advantage to the SU16 over an AR.

My nephew has a SU16c, and it's a very light rifle which is a plus, and the accuracy wasn't bad, but could have been much better with the 75-77gr bullets than the M193 he had to shot that day.
I liked the way it folded up even with a 30rd magazine in it. Great lightweight scout/backpack, hiking rifle.
I haven't seen one for sale around my area for years. Do they still make them?
