The Kel-Tec SU16A: Versatility Meets Reliability
The SU16A represents a thoughtful approach to the modern sport utility rifle.

Key Features
- 18.5" chrome-lined barrel with 1:9" right-hand twist for consistent accuracy
- Gas-piston operation minimizes fouling and keeps the action running clean
- Integrated Picatinny rail mounted on the receiver for mounting optics and accessories
- Folding bipod forend deploys from the front handguard for enhanced stability during shooting

Design Philosophy

Why Choose the SU16A

The integrated features—bipod, rail system, and magazine storage—eliminate the need for expensive aftermarket additions.
