Hmm neat looking and seems to be CA legal.

Bill Lockyer can add this rifle to the list of banned rifles in California with a PostIt note to Randy Rossi. It won't take 10 minutes. He already has legislative authority to add new firearms as an internal administrative act.

This looks really, really nice. I don't know much about Kel-tecs, are they high-quality firearms?

One of my kids got a 9mm KelTec DA pistol and at first I thought it would be junk.

I was really wrong.

After shooting the KelTec we both like it much better than a Colt Pocket 9 we have in the family and the more I've read about the KelTec,the more I'm sold on their dependability.It's a sweet little carry gun or backup if you want DA only.

If this new KelTec gets some good reviews,I'll sure take a look at it.

Lots of nice features here. I can hardly wait until it gets into the hands of evil SUV owners so that I can hear the evaluations.

I used to shoot .22 rifles at school which I really enjoyed.

I'd really like to get back into the hobby now although I think I'd like to move on from the .22.

Can anyone recommend a nice rifle that would be most suitable for both myself and my 11 year old daughter to start off with at the range and perhaps go hunting with later on.

I am a complete novice so forgive my ignorance.

Yaron.

Looks like it might be a nice travel rifle.

ehhh... it's a nice concept, has lots of nice features, and comes from a good manufacturing firm, but... I'll stick to my bullpup AK47.

Holy Sh***. If this doesn't drive the gun grabbers crazy I don't know what will.

Listening to C-SPAN Radio yesterday heard an interesting discussion on the M-16. Several points made:
In the desert using gun oil isn't a great idea.

The AK-47 tolerances are lose enough (less likely to jam) that it was a preferred weapon during Desert Storm.

One of the reasons the M-16 jammed early on was that a cheaper powder was used in the ammunition which resulted in faster fouling of the weapon requiring more frequent cleaning.

Lastly, Troops deploying to Afganistan prefer the M-14 over the M-16.

An AR-15 is a good rifle, low recoil, legal hunting caliber, and ammo is reasonably inexpensive. Unfortunatly the AR-15 is kind of pricey.

but that thing is butt uglyThen it should be banned for that sole piece of reasoning. Now the Ruger Mini family, they have good looks.

I still haven't heard back from them about the Gas/Piston question. I went shooting yesterday, for the first time in months, with the locals from AR15.com. They scouted out a gravel pit down past Olympia (nice 2+ hr. drive for me each way.) that was perfect. One direction had 390yrds for rifle fire and if you wanted to shoot pistols you face the other way in the box and had out to 50 yards. We had some gongs made out of a Helium tank cut in half that now look like cheese graters. A funny thing for me was I couldn't hit jack with my AR15 at 100 yards but I could pound the sh!+ out of the bowling pins at 300 yds. I guess know whites of their eyes for me. And as is typical for us in the gun culture their were 20 of us and about 100 weapons including about 45 rifles. Here is our group photo.

Hmmmnn...

Maybe in .308, but I already have a good .223.

That funky bipod vaguely resembles Jeff Cooper's Scout Rifle built by Steyr
I don't know if I care much for Kel-Tec's folding stock...
But I certainly know that I prefer the Scout's .308 to the wimpy .223.
