Just got a Kel-tec su-16b last week and took it to the range on Saturday. Initial impressions are not that great. Using the stock mags I had a FTE/ FTF every other shot. Several of the rounds had the bullet pushed into the casing, not my idea of a good time. So after much frustration with the first mag I switched to the second same problem. By this time I was getting a little upset, and luckily I had some other 30rd mags I bough so I threw one of those in and could at least shoot a few times in a row without having to mess with my gun to clear the chamber of spent rounds.
Out of the box accuracy was non-existent. With a steady rest it was about 4ft high at 200yds. After seeing that and the previous problems I decided it was too dangerous to shoot without properly sighting in the weapon for fear of a ricochet off the berm.
All in all I’m not too terribly impressed with this gun right now…I keep thinking I should have just spent the cash and got a real ar-15.
I will take it out again next weekend after I look at these stock mags to see if I can make any mods to improve the reliability of feeding.
Anyone else have this kind of problem and if so what where you able to do anything to fix it?
Thanks,
