I know this question doesnt actually belong here but...... I am a Newbie and dont want to get advice from websites possibly promoting this product. Hopefully someone here has some ACTUAL hands on KNOWLEDGE on this product. Is it worth the reduced price from an actual Bushy, RRA, ect??? I own a Bushy but am trying to get info for a buddy of mine! Last post I got no response......If anyone knows anything––-it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks from the NEWBIE! LOL

I have a kel tec and a RRA. The kel has worked fine but I have only shot a couple hundred rounds thru it. The mags needed their feed lips bent up just a hair but then fed fine.

Actually, this is EXACTLY where your question belongs.

My nephew had the SU16. We took it to the range together one day and it ran fine for a couple hundred rounds. I see threads here regularly asking about them, and nobody has anything really bad to say.

But, it just looks and feels cheap and flimsy to me. And I cannot bring myself to trust any weapon without an extensive military pedigree.

If it was my buddy, I'd tell him to save up for an AR (or AK).

JMHO ...

I have shot a PLR-16 a fair bit.  It is fun and reliable, but it is not as rugged as an AR or AK.

I like the AR-180 style gas system though.

Thanks guys..... I felt the same way about it looking kinda like a toy or just not rugged!  By the Way....the reason it is in the right section is because it was moved here––LOL

SU16 torture test.

I know it is not the perfect gun, and I do not own one, but I have a good deal of respect for KelTec and think that the su16 i probably the best deal for a semi .223 out there.
