Anyone have any experience with these? I like the SU-16 rifle. Was considering a purchase one day. Anyone have one of these or heard how reliable they are?

Yes, i've have a SU 16A for several years now. I never had any problems with it. Since then they have come out with several different models. Go to their web site and forums to get more info.

Dont have that rifle, but I do have the P3AT and a Sub 2000. Great guns. never had a problem with either.

I own a few of the Pistols...All good guns.

I was interested in the SU-16 also, But I just can't get past the price. For what they go for New You could build an AR15 -- If they were $350 or less, I'd own one by now.

That's just me though, But it appears to be a very intriguing rifle. Also I guess if I was looking for my first rifle I'd be looking a little harder and not bitching about the price as much.

2 P3-AT's, 1 P-32, 1 P-11, 1 Pf-9. All have been great with 1 exception. P3-AT #1 broke a hammer spring and rendered the gun useless. KT sent new spring, installed myself in minutes and everything was fine. However, it failed after the first shot in the magazine and had there been a situation, I would have been screwed....unless the first shot was COM.

I especially like the P-11, 13 shots...tiny shootable package. Definitely the most bang for the buck IMHO.

Thank you.

Has anyone observed if these guns were cheap or chincy? Like they were more loose in the action, or didnt slide as nice, cheap springs? Problems jamming. etc?

thanks

For some reason, the plastic Kel-tec uses always give the fealing of being cheap. That said, I have a Sub2000, a P-40, and 2 p3at's, and love every one of them. Lite, reliable, and not heavy on the price. Have almost bought a SU16 a couple of times, but I have 3 556 rifles already, so I can not justify it to myself.

I have 2 Sub 2000's, no problem with either and they are fun to shoot. Accurate out to 100 yds, 3 inch'ish group, portable they fold and fit in my backpack or any other limited space area.
I just acquired a used su-16a and have put around 1000 rds through it with no problems. I put a Pentax gameseeker 3-9 on it and it has reasonably tight groups at 100, 200 and 400 yds.
Kel tec has been around for a while so they must be doing something right, also they are made in the USA!!::
