Didja See The Latest Kel-tec Ad???

PAPA G · 02-04-2005, 09:57 AM

the .223 carbine, now sports a folding stock to allow firing the carbine while the stocks folded!!!

just the latest development since the Klinton ban died.

Big Dog · 02-04-2005, 12:20 PM

Yep, and they have better sights now too. Real metal instead of the plastic crap.

BattleRifleG3 · 02-04-2005, 02:08 PM

Actually that folder was designed for when the ban was in effect. Notice how it still has no pistol grip. That would have been the only way to do a post-ban pre-expiration folder.

dogboy · 02-12-2005, 08:14 PM

yeah! it was in the february issue of guns magazine and did you know that it can also take 20 round and 30 round AR mags

BattleRifleG3 · 02-13-2005, 05:50 PM

Yup, the first generation Kel Tec was designed to do the same. Gives the Mini-14 a run for its money.

Big Dog · 02-13-2005, 05:54 PM

Regarding the Kel-Tec SU-16 - there are early reports beginning to come in that the barrel tends to shift when it gets hot. Thus, POA shifts too - not good. I'll be watching these rifles over time.

you must be looking at the old model BRG3, the new version has a different pistolgrip and stock.

BattleRifleG3 · 02-13-2005, 09:28 PM

Sounds spiffy, I'll have to take a look at that.

PAPA G · 02-13-2005, 09:41 PM

see if this helps!!!

That actually is what I saw before, I don't think that would count as a p-grip under the old dead ban. The rifle would be a good buy for folks living in states that adopted the AWB themselves.

when I first read this I went "WOW" - but wait - folding stock

BattleRifleG3 · 02-13-2005, 10:31 PM

You could get the standard version as one of two Cali-legal semi-autos in 223.

detach mags arent banned if they're under 10 rounds

gunssb · 02-15-2005, 02:23 PM

I'm seriously thinking of trading in a couple mosins & such, put some more cash down and get a su-16 in all black. The dealer had one in green $500 out the door, but I want a black one. It feels good although it's plasticky...

BattleRifleG3 · 02-15-2005, 03:02 PM

Eh, for your 10rd limit, I'd keep the Mosins. If you're gonna have a low number of rounds, might as well make them good.

I think a stripper clip fed 223 would be nice for Californians. Each tends to load faster than a rock-loading detachable mag. Advantage to the detachables is capacity, at least the ones you lock and rock in.

hmm...dunno about that but know for sure that 10-round AR-15 detachable mags are okay (to shove in the keltec).

BattleRifleG3 · 02-15-2005, 05:56 PM

Cause the AR-15 has a pistol grip and can't go without one. A Mini doesn't require a p-grip by design. Got a detachable mag, can't have a p-grip. Got a p-grip, can't have a d-mag.
