Anyone seen a review of this rifle yet? It is closer to what I have been looking for in a varmint caliber carbine than I expected to find. Only 5lbs, uses Ar-15 mags, will carry two spare 10 rd or one spare 20/30 rd mag in the buttstock similar to my Steyr Scout Rifle. I hope it shoots better than a Mini-14.
That is one of the ugliest rifles I have ever seen, and its probably a POS for a multitude of reasons... starting with the frail Hinged design, multi barrel contact points, and plastic wings(?). What is that blue item hanging from the bottom of the butt stock... a fold up tent?
Ohh wait it says here... Except for barrel, bolt and mechanism the SU-16 is made entirely of high impact reinforced polymer ... the rest must be made out of aluminum.

Looks awesome....need a similiar rifle in 7.62x39 taking AK mags.
I have learned to take MSRPs of guns with a huge grain of salt. For example, I was a bit apprehensive at pricing the Ruger #1 stainless in late '01 when I saw the MSRP in all the mags of $845.00 (at the time). My price going through a local dealer was $625.00. Whew! I like the new Kel Tec's looks. It will probably be priced similar to a Mini 14, might just group better, huh?
