Pretty good so far. A few minor hick-ups that break-in will probably solve. not real thrilled with the plastic sights on this gun, but there are options out there to correct that if I decide its needed down the road. Its hard to believe how light this gun is until you hold one for yourself. The use of standard AR/M16 mags really puts it over the top compared to the heavier Ruger Minis and Saigas that I also considered. Lets not forget the fold in half and mag storage in the stock that are just not found on anything else. It is unfortunately a cheap gun, and the cheapness shows here and there. For me it''s nothing major and can be overlooked, but more finicky people may disagree with me.

Very accurate fun to shoot no problems other than a little rough on folding and bi pod. A good value for the price. Convenient to carry.mounted redfield scope on see through mounts. Shoots 1.5 inches at 100 yds.

I bought the Kel Tec SU16 because I wanted something different than what the other guys were shooting at our Hi Power matches. I have a Garand and it is a wondeful weapon but at 70 yrs old getting a little heavy for me. I am wishing now that I had purchased the B model because of the sites. Took me a long time to get the A model sighted in. The rifle could have been cleaned up a little better as I had flashing get between the bolt and the round and so round did not fire. After that, It has run without a missfire. For a light rifle it is pretty accurate. At 50 yds holding 2 in groups in 0 deg weather. Probably me shivering. It will do better Im sure. Feels good, comes up on target, and is about what I wanted. Very tight no movement in stock or forearm or anything like that. Its a solid little rifle.

Just received this rifle after waiting 4 months. I realy like the feel. The bi-pod is excellent,as is the mag storage in the stock. NOTE: the stock does fold, but for storage only, not like an AK47. Godd value for the $$$ if you''re not in a hurry for del''y.
