Kel-Tec SU-16

Anyone have any experience with this? I heard about it and started reading up on it, but figured someone here had to have fired one at some point. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have not fired this rifle, read many positive reviews
I was interested in the SU-16C model
I did fondle one at the last gun show
it felt light (good thing) but also felt cheap (bad thing)
ended up buying a Ruger Mini 14 (love it)

I found this review on it, which is interesting.

Equipped to Survive® (ETS) has for years shown us what works and what does not for those days when things go really wrong. So when I first saw the folding Kel-Tec SU-16 rifle, I thought of ETS. Having the right tool for the right job can be critical to survival. I have been carrying various makes, models, and calibers of firearms in the back country of California since I was 16 years old. I always tried to balance light weight with necessity. Just when I think I tried and carried everything, along comes Kel-Tec with a new rifle.


It is not their first, but it incorproates a nice combination of features for a survival firearm. A lightweight semi-automatic chambered in .223 Remington (5.56 Nato), it has a picatinny rail system for mounting optics and integrated folding bi-pod legs. The rifle folds in half for storage, uses the same magazines as AR-15's and M-16 rifles, and holds two, ten-round magazines in the butt stock. All these features make a potentially outstanding survival firearm package.
