I recently (i.e. today) forked over a sizeable amount of money for a Kel-Tec SU-16B. It's about the "scariest" EBR that one can buy in California for a reasonable price. In ten days I'll get to pick it up.
I got a fairly good deal on it, about $100 less than the MSRP, so I'm happy. I was looking to get the SU-16CA, as I liked the sight design better, but they didn't have any in stock and the price was significantly higher than the "B". If anyone in the SF Bay Area wants to do a face-to-face trade, let me know.
I've read good things about these rifles, but I'm curious if anyone here has any hands-on experience.
What weight ammunition should one use? I picked up 500 rounds of 55gr .223 Rem American Ammunition (I think they're made in Israel, but they say "American". Go figure.) Hopefully this'll work out all right.
Other than having an empty magazine in the mag well, is there any way of locking the bolt to the rear? There doesn't seem to be any sort of latch or catch where one could do that.
Now I'll finally have a use for all the AR-15 mags I bought years ago -- I couldn't afford an AR-15, but I figured the magazines would have some future use.
