Yes, the minimalist SU16 is intentionally featureless to remain legal in many places that ban the AR-15.

The original design folds up nicely, although there are also non-folding versions. While some rifles may be fired with the stock folded, the SU16 cannot.<\/p>\n<h2>KelTec SU16 Features<\/h2>\n<p>The SU16 stores away easily in the folded stock configuration. A neat trick is that the handguards unfold and form a bipod. This beats an add-on bipod and is remarkably stable in use. For most of my accuracy testing, I used a modern plastic rifle rest. In the field, this option would be attractive. The bipod adds nothing to the rifle\u2019s weight or bulk.<\/p>\n<p>The rear stock also holds a couple of 10-round <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/parts-and-accessories\/magazines\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=keltec-su16-semi-auto-rifle-the-loophole-to-ar-15-gun-grabbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">magazines<\/a>. That\u2019s a lot for hunting applications. It helped when I was preparing different loads for testing off the bench. A single 20 or 30-round magazine may be stored. If you must repel borders or are employed in area defense, this is a great concept. Grab the rifle and you don\u2019t need a web belt with spare magazines if the magazines are in place in the stock.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"195\" alt=\"KelTec SU16 semi auto rifle with adjustable stock and quad picatinny rails\" class=\"wp-image-83106 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KelTec-SU16-10.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KelTec-SU16-10.jpg?resize=300%2C91&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KelTec-SU16-10.jpg?resize=150%2C46&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KelTec-SU16-10.jpg?resize=640%2C195&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"195\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KelTec-SU16-10.jpg?resize=640%2C195&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"KelTec SU16 semi auto rifle with adjustable stock and quad picatinny rails\" class=\"wp-image-83106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KelTec-SU16-10.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KelTec-SU16-10.jpg?resize=300%2C91&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KelTec-SU16-10.jpg?resize=150%2C46&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>A version similar to the AR-15 in features is offered. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The rifle is really very simple.

There are more than a half-dozen variations including a telescopic stock version with a muzzle brake. Yeah, it\u2019s not street-legal everywhere. I would not feel particularly under gunned with a 10-round magazine and fixed stock. I simply prefer to have more options.<\/p>\n<p>A word to the wise\u2026 the folding option is for storage and transport. It isn\u2019t a smooth package when folded and will snag. This isn\u2019t the mode for quick access. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loading and firing the rifle is simple. Insert a loaded magazine and rack the bolt. The action, by the way, isn\u2019t gas impingement, but a standard, gas-operated piston action. The bipod isn\u2019t difficult to unfold. Simply release the tabs on the side of the bipod and release the two pieces to fold down. I find the rifle to be fast into action and quickly deployed.
