Specs

SU16A™

SU16A™

KelTec is where the modern Sport Utility rifle was reinvented and the SU16A is where it all began. Chambered in 5.56 NATO, it’s the go-anywhere utility rifle. It features a magazine storage stock that holds two proprietary 10-round magazines. The forend covers an 18.5″ barrel and doubles as a bipod. Although the SU16 models come with adjustable sights, the receiver offers an integrated Picatinny-style rail for mounting an optic.

SU16B™

Slightly smaller and a 1/2 pound lighter than the A model due to its low profile 16″ barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO, the SU16B offers all the same features. You’ll enjoy the built-in magazine carriers in the stock, integrated bipod forend, adjustable iron sights and Picatinny-style rail for mounting an optic.

SU16C™

SU16C™

The Charlie model offers an under-folding stock for compact storage, however this variant still operates in the folded position with a metal GI magazine or proprietary KELTEC 10-round magazine. Like all the SU16 models, it’s chambered for the common 5.56 NATO cartridge, comes equipped with a Picatinny-style rail up top and it’s excellent for outdoor activities that require a lightweight, compact rifle.

SU16D9™

SU16D9™

Here’s where things get really interesting. The SU16D9 is the shortest and lightest of the SU16 line. The main difference between it and the SU16C are the 9″ barrel and compact forend. But they come at a price, because the SU16D9 is an NFA item and unfortunately tax stamps are still a thing. If you’re looking for an extremely light, compact and capable 5.56 short-barreled rifle, the D9 is for you.

SU16D12™

Here’s where things get slightly interesting. The SU16D12 is one the shortest and lightest of the SU16 line. The main difference between it and the SU16C are the 12″ barrel and compact forend. But they come at a price, because the SU16D12 is an NFA item and unfortunately tax stamps are still a thing. If you’re looking for an extremely light, compact and capable 5.56 short-barreled rifle, the D12 or D9 are for you.

The SU16E gives you a gas piston operated, 5.56 rifle with adjustable sights, a threaded 16″ barrel, pistol grip, our proprietary compact forend and 6-position stock assembly right out of the box. All of that comes in at under 5lbs unloaded!
