The new Kel Tec carbine is an awesome bug out, truck rifle or lightweight rifle. It's a .223 and takes AR-15, 10,20 and 30 round Mags.
It folds in half and locks back with one pin. It has a barrel just over 16"
It holds two 10 round Mags in the bottom of the buttstock that pull out easy, but stay put unless you grab them.
The forearm unlocks then swings down and forms a pretty solid tripod and then the two halves snap back onto the rifle with ease.
It has a chrome lined barrel and has a picitinney rail built in on the top.
The trigger is so,so, but is easy to work into a decent trigger.
My friend just bought one and with a scope, was shooting regular 3/4" groups @ 100 yds.
It's the Swiss Army knife of rifles.
It's 100% made in the USA. It looks kinda cheap as it's almost all polymar plastic, but the thing is reliable as can be and shoots better than a lot of bolt guns.
We fired 100 rounds right out of the box with zero failure to feed or eject.
We had one aftermarket Mag that caused problems, but a mil spec 20 round AR mag and the two 10 round mags that come with the rifle were flawless.
It also has a bolt head like the AR-15, but has a gas piston, not a gas tube, so carbon build up is not a problem.
If you want a lightweight rifle, that is easy to store in your car, truck or backpack that shoots really well, check out this rifle.
The sights are plastic with a peep sight in the rear and a tall fire sight in the front. They look like the front sight might break, but it's pretty darn tough.
Kel Tec really did their homework on this weapon. It is very well thought out.
If you buy one, replace the take down pin with one from the hardware store with the ring on the end of it. It makes it far easier to remove and replace.
Get one while you can, they are going to sell fast.
It looks a little cheap, but it works better than a lot of $2000 rifles that I have shot.
It is the perfect rifle for your Bug Out kit. I've never seen one better as far as being compact, tough, reliable and accurite in such a small and lightweight size.
