The Kel-Tec SU-16C .223 Rem folding underfolder rifle brings practical versatility to a compact, mission-ready platform. Built on the proven SU-16 design, the Charlie model combines AR-15 magazine compatibility with a true folding stock that cycles in both open and closed positions—a genuine advantage for truck gun setups, overlanding rigs, and tight spaces where a traditional stock rifle won't fit. The 16-inch medium-weight barrel threads at 1/2x28 TPI, giving you suppressor or muzzle-device options right out of the box.
What sets the SU-16C apart is its purpose-built integration of features that work, not flash. The integrated bipod doubles as a Picatinny rail for mounting, AR-pattern front sight sits in the gas block with familiar elevation adjustment, and a reciprocating dust cover keeps the action cleaner during rapid fire. The operating handle deflects spent brass away from your face—a small detail that matters when you're running it hard. Chrome-lined bore and chamber are now standard, adding durability and easier cleaning to the package.
This rifle is at home at the range, in the field, or in a vehicle. Magazine compatibility with standard AR magazines means you tap into the largest, cheapest, most available ammunition platform in civilian shooting. The folding design doesn't sacrifice shootability; you get a rifle that handles like a purpose-built gun, not a gimmick.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shoot the Kel-Tec SU-16C with the stock folded?
Yes. Unlike many folding-stock designs, the SU-16C is engineered to fire safely and reliably with the stock in the folded position, making it practical for vehicle storage or tight-space shooting.
What magazines does the SU-16C take?
The SU-16C accepts standard AR-15 and M-16 pattern magazines, giving you compatibility with the broadest selection of aftermarket and military-surplus magazines on the market.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 1/2x28 TPI, the standard thread pitch for .223 Remington suppressors and muzzle devices.
What's the integrated bipod for?
The integrated bipod serves dual duty: it functions as a shooting support for bench or prone positions, and it also acts as a Picatinny rail for mounting tactical accessories.
