Why not a SU-16 in 7.62x39?

I still submit that if KT had made the SU-16CA first, they'd have a better rep. The CA avoids the flimsy appearance that the spindly FSP (front sight post) had on the earlier models, maximizes compactness/handiness with the 16" barrel, etc. Were I KT and had a crystal ball, I'd have made the CA and the C only.

Don't forget the "D" model.

But I agree, the CA model is quite nice and seems a lot more sturdy than the A or B. They could ditch that non-locking integrated bi-pod, too. That thing is just goofy.

But I do like the rifle overall, even if the B-resters give me dirty looks in the doghouse after the first shot.

I think M-14 would be cheaper and more availible, you can find mil-surp 30 rounders for $10.

I believe the Military used 20-rounders. All the 30's I've seen for the .308 M14 were very unreliable.
