The Kel-Tec SU-16/SU-22 compact polymer forend with rail is a practical upgrade for owners looking to add accessory mounting options to their SU-16 or SU-22 platform rifles.

Whether you're setting up a compact patrol rifle, a truck gun, or a trainer that demands versatility, this polymer unit keeps things light and functional.
The design is engineered to work alongside the rifle's Charlie-style folding stock, so you're not sacrificing the compactness that makes the SU platform so appealing.
