Expected MSRP: $740.00
What?!?!
Kel-Tec... $740?
I thought they only made cheap guns. Is this thing safe?
I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just surprised at the price. (I've never even looked at these things, before.) How can these things be that expensive? I'm thinking about the construction of their pistol line and I can't imagine spending $740 on a gun from them. Am I missing something here?
Does anyone here have one of these things? How is the construction? Do they break? Are they reliable? Do they last?
(Years ago, I had a folding stock police sniper rifle from Grendel, with a similar looking folding stock. The thing had a heavy, fluted Shilen barrel and a muzzle brake, with threaded muzzle. It was .308 caliber, with a tight match chamber, built on a Sako action. It was VERY accurate, but would not feed two rounds consecutively. It had a CHEAP plastic follower that would bind every time. I also heard from others that the folding mechanism, which was a screw with a long spring and knob on it, would loosen over time. I sold the thing, but wish I had kept it. At the time I couldn't find a stock for it and this was before the Internet, so didn't know all the places to look. It would have been a good gun put in a B&C stock or something - and with a proper Sako follower, magazine, floorplate and triggerguard... That stock kind of cooled me off to Kelgren's plastic creations.)
I hope this gun is different, though.
Thanks,
