This is Part 3 of Nutnfancy's review of the Kel-Tec SU-16C, a super lightweight and portable rifle lauded for its firepower, accuracy, and reliability. Weighing just 4.7 lbs (5.8 lbs with accessories), it's positioned as a versatile option for backpacking, law enforcement, civilian defense, and aircrew. The SU-16C utilizes AR-15 magazines, features an integrated Picatinny rail for optics, and has good ghost-ring iron sights capable of sub-1" groups at 50 yards. The review covers its break-in period, recommended lubrication, potential minor modifications, hybrid AK/AR operating system, and substantial barrel thickness. The SU-16C is presented as a high-value competitor to the Ruger Mini-14 in the .223 carbine category, praised for its mobility and defensive tactical capabilities.
This is Part 2 of a 3-part review of the Kel-Tec SU-16C, highlighting its "Featherweight Firepower."
