Folks,
Got this from KelTec about my enquiry concerning their new SU16 223 rifle:
>The new .223 SU-16 Sport Utility Rifle comes with unique
>features such as:
> -Integrated Picatinny rail.
> -Forend folds down to form a bipod.
> -The stock can store spare magazines.
> -The mechanism and stock can be rotated for added.
> safety or carry under extreme conditions.
> -Utilizes proven M-16 breech locking and feeding system.
> -Accepts AR-15 and M-16 mags.
>
>We have not yet decided to submit the SU-16 to California.
>Technically, this is not a folding rifle. When it is in the
>folded position, it is not folded but, disassembled. You must
>remove a pin to disassemble it (or, fold it) and it absolutely
>cannot be fired when disassembled. However, when it is
>disassembled (or, folded) it does measure less than 30".
>
>Because California has passed a new law allowing people to sue
>the manufacturer when a gun gets in the wrong hands and is used
>in a crime, it is very possible that we will not allow sales in
>California at all. It is still yet to be determined.
>
>Suggested retail is $640.00.
>We hope to begin shipping the new SU-16 in May of this year.
>Please contact your local dealers now for backorder information.
>
>Also new for this year is the P-3AT .380 cal pistol. It's just
>a tiny bit larger than our P-32. Expected ship date is also May
>at this time. Suggested retail is $305.00 for the "blued" model.
>
>Specifications for the new P-3AT and SU-16 are as follows:
>
> P-3AT / SU-16
>Weight unloaded: 7.3 oz / 5 lbs
>Length 5.16" 37"/26" open/closed
>Height 3.52"
>Width .75"
>Barrel Length 2.76" / 18"
