[jcainmc]

@jigglejack100 Not much advantage, just looks bad ass!

[mrsentry08]

[jcainmc]

@mrsentry08 DPMS flash suppressor I bought for around $20 from midwayusa...look at their entire selection of flashers, cant recall the model name!

[GotSig1510]

Hey what kind of flash hider is that?

[jcainmc]

@GotSig1510 It's a DPMS flash suppressor that I bought from Midway USA online for about $20.

Hey, I'm looking at a Kel-Tec SU16c. I'm in college and can't afford an Ar-15 (budget's tight). In your opinion, is this gun worth it? I'm reading a lot of good things about the accuracy and durability. You sold it for an ar15, so was it just not worth it?Thanks a bunch!

[jcainmc]

@woodynum86x It's a great gun, easier to clean than an AR and upgradable. I sold it for an AR because I wanted a real AR with all the bells and whistles. It would of cost me $140 to upgrade the Kel-Tec to a pistol grip, so sold it for $720 and bought an AR stripped lower receiver for $100 and got a complete upper with all Magpul furniture for $606 shipped from Del-Ton. So I recommend the Kel-Tec, but if you have a little more you can build an AR. It's your choice on what you want as upgrades etc

[woodynum86x]

@jcainmc Thank you! Really helps a lot. I shoot the Ar15 in the Army and its a great gun. Expensive to maintain (parts) but is awesome. Thanks a bunch for your reply

[jcainmc]

@woodynum86x You got it buddy, enjoy :)

[TyeDye07]

At 5:10 "soo, stay tuned for the second video, which shows the upgrades that i put on this BiTCH" LOL XD

[shotgunsurgeon23]

@jcainmc Can you use any type of drum magazine on this gun? Ive been thinking about buying an SU-16C soon

[jcainmc]

@shotgunsurgeon23 Should work fine as it accepts all AR mags and has same clearance for the mag well as the AR15. Just sold this Kel-Tec over the weekend and decided to build a custom AR15 with black and olive drab as the color scheme. Video to come in a few weeks, take care.

[blueTRS]

LOOKS AWSOME!

[jcainmc]

@blueTRS Thanks buddy!

[nobull60]

I would like to know how accurate your rifle is. It's one of the alternatives to the Ar that can be used to hunt with in Canada. Thanks for the video. I appreciate it.

[jcainmc]

@nobull60 Very accurate, same as an AR which means even better accuracy if you use more expensive ammo. Good choice if you cant afford or own a standard AR platform, the Kel-Tec gets less dirty than a standard AR also.

[TheGuyWithAWeirdName]

@nobull60 yeah its all legal in canada... they just can't be found. the only source i found sold them just below 1000$.

[thejmeister88]

I think kel tec putting the "bipod" on the su16 is like swiss army putting the tooth pick in their knives. Thanks but no thanks.

[jcainmc]

@thejmeister88 Agreed!

[Warpath2198]

@thejmeister88 Moot point when you don't have to deploy the hand guards as a bipod or you can just replace the hand guards with a rail setup.

[cacapoopoo2327]

you can add the pistol grip and get a sidefolding adapter for your telescoping stock. Folds to the left side, pistol grip and still fits in your bug out bag.

[jcainmc]

@cacapoopoo2327 Link? :)

[cacapoopoo2327]

@jcainmc His stock blows and he has the alpha but this shows you can do it. Brings it a lot closer to the ar but if back pack capablites are your main concern its definitely worth it. You have to but the PLR pistol grip though. You can call kel tec to find out what adapter if any is te specific one that works or if any will do. I want to pair it with the Magpul CTR. If you look good you can find a replacement steel qhadrail forend.

[onehitkill]

thats a nice rifle man!

i have a few questions! what kind of iron sights does it have on it?

and what made u choose this over a regular AR platform?

[jcainmc]

@onehitkill The gun has a standard AR front post sight and a ghost ring in the rear to line up with. I chose the Kel-Tec for three reasons: A) Price, it was only about $620 locally. B) Upgrading, ability to upgrade to many choices and low price of parts from the manufacturer  C) Spring action carbine, burns cleaner than standard AR platform and easier to clean/maintenance.

[liquidwolf14]

awesome gun :D you said you got a dpms flash hider i didn't know those could fit that gun thanks for clearing that

[jcainmc]

@liquidwolf14 Thanks :) Yeah, its the same threading as a basic AR15 or M16 so many to choose from.

[HerbWalker]

good video/I want one too:)

[moltenthoughts]

thats tripod handle thing looked like such a piece of shit i like the one you put on

[jcainmc]

@moltenthoughts No doubt! Well worth the 50 bucks to replace it :)

[jpbakken1]

hey, the piece that goes on the front of the muzzle what brand is it and where did you get it?

[jcainmc]

@jpbakken1 It's a DPMS flash suppressor that I bought from Midway USA online for about $20.

[ablenetech]

good vid-but his laptop or computer fan is loud as hell-i had to pause just to make sure it wasn't mine

[jcainmc]

@ablenetech LOL

[Siporillo503]

Hey Jcainmc, Nice job that work after, looks sick.

[jcainmc]

@Siporillo503 Thanks, hope to do more to it soon!

[Syrius187]

where did you the m4 style foregrip?

Im going to put a burris speed dot on mine?

[jcainmc]

@Syrius187 Bought it directly from Kel-Tec's website...about $57 shipped from Florida. 

[scubaguy007]

These are great weapons! Good before and after video. I will do one of my won for sure in a couple of weeks. You should look into a better optic. One of the most important aspects of your weapon is the optic you choose. These guns are capable of reaching out a good distance if the optics are right. I would rather have a kick-ass weapon than a bad-ass one anyday.

[jcainmc]

@scubaguy007 Yeah if you read my description I got rid of the China clone sight! I have put on my Bushnell 3-9x40mm scope for now until I get something better. I added the front handguard grip also....huge improvement with that grip!

[jcainmc]

Added the forend grip.....so much better now!

[KyIeMcCIeIIan]

Awesome rifle. I don't quite side with your choice of magazine, but if everyone wanted the same thing from their weapon the world would be a little more boring. Glad to hear you moved away from Commiefornia!

[jcainmc]

@KyIeMcCIeIIan What magazine do you prefer? I hate the steel AR15 mags, take away from the look of the gun!

[KyIeMcCIeIIan]

@jcainmc I would prefer one that didn't interfere with the functionality of the folding stock. I understand the visual aspect, but functionality is more important.

[jcainmc]

@KyIeMcCIeIIan Gotcha, I am probably going to add the AR adjustable stock so won't matter soon :)
