The KelTec SU-22C Rifle in .22 LR and Black (KelTec part no. SU22CBLK) is built as a standalone rimfire trainer, not a conversion kit, sharing its handling and controls with KelTec’s larger SU-16 family. A threaded 16-inch barrel, adjustable iron sights, and a Picatinny-style top rail make it equally at home teaching a new shooter the fundamentals or filling the plinking-and-small-game role in an experienced shooter’s safe. The compact forend and low-recoil .22 LR chambering keep it approachable for recoil-shy shooters, while compatibility with AR-22-pattern magazines means ammo and mag options are easy to find. KelTec designed the SU-22C to be smooth, modular, and accurate right out of the box.
