Pimp my SU-16

My Su-16 due to its size and accuracy has become my favorite walk about rifle, so I'm gonna justify spending some money here. I've got a great 6x42 ruskie scope that I really like, but thats not an exceptionally practical scope for most of the closer stuff I find myself doing these days. So heres what I need:

A very low power scope/red dot/holographic/whatever scope that excells at close in shooting, this thing should be easy on the batteries and capable of being used night or day. I'd like to spend around 350 with mount included here, any suggestions?

I need a sling for this thing, and the Kel-tec factory sling is sort've a joke so any alternate ideas here?

Lastly I need some 20rnd mags, so who makes a quality 20rnd mags(preferably aluminum) and what are some effective ways to carry 2-4 around in the field? I dont need a vest or anything here.


This is the first rifle I've ever owned that I really dont mind spending money on, not a single malf and it hits whatever I aim at. Its light as a feather and the bipod keeps it from getting nasty if I have to set it down for any reason.

They dont like my Email there. 500? Ouch man thats 2 more SU-16s and ammo to spare!

I got my charlie for like 325, and I believe the normal A models arelike 230?

I've got maybe 2300+ rounds down the tube by now, and its jammed 3 times..all 3 times were pranks(friend handing me a magazine loaded with an empty case in the middle). It folds nice and small, and has been 100% reliable and accurate when it matters.

Question about that Russkie PK AS, that was my first thought but I'm worried about how high it sits? You have one mounted on anything? I've been looking at the Kobra aswell.


Best group with the SU sofar, Winchester black box 55gr. My SU loves that stuff above all others.

I wanted a CA, but could only find the C. I swapped stocks with a guy who had an "A" model and wanted the folder.

Thats a phatom flash supressor, which has semi-sharpened prongs to dig into clothing or whatnot. I've been using it to cut barbed wire actually! Press into the fence..line it up...pull the trigger..BANG..cut. The Phantom is also threaded to presumably take a silencer! If they made one for the AK I'd have one on my Saiga! I've fired it several times in the night and found the phantom to be -exceptional-!

Would you guys like me to take detail pictures of the flash supressor?



Just got the ATN red dot, will review when it arrives.

Check www.galleryofguns.com when they have them in stock, I got mine from Mike over in St.Chuck. St.Louis arms is my only vendor.

yeah I think its probably too high for the SU. My stock is already a touch below the top of the receiver(look at how low my sights are).

Oh.......my.......god...

OK my optic came, the ATN Ultra Dot DC.

The good:
Its small
Its light
It came with a little rubber hood to keep it dry
Its delightfully bright!

The bad:
Adjustment is an absolute bitch
The adjustment set screws are some flavor of aluminum, and the insides already stripped or maybe the supplied wrench? Will try to see if I cant just throw some replacements in there.
The "Lock" screw, is 100% non-op


I take it to the range tomarrow, and will report the rest. Its been boresighted on the laser and I'll report the rest tomarrow. If it holds zero, I'll keep it. Otherwise this thing goes back to www.midwayusa.com
