About this product

The Kel-Tec SU16A is a sport-utility semi-automatic carbine configured for versatile field and range use. Chambered for common 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington ammunition, the SU16A pairs a medium-profile 18.5″ barrel with a lightweight polymer construction to keep carry weight low. The design integrates a Picatinny rail for optics, a folding forend that converts to a bipod, and a fixed stock that stores spare magazines. Controls and features are configured for routine sporting and utility applications.

  • Overall weight is approximately 5 lbs (unloaded) for easy carry and handling.
