The KelTec SU-16CA (brand part no. SU16CABLK) is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO, built around a 16-inch, chrome-lined barrel with a 1:9 twist, threaded 1/2×28. KelTec combines the SU-16C’s chrome-lined barrel and Parkerized parts with the SU-16A’s stock, and the rifle folds in half for compact storage without firing in the folded position, meeting the legal definition many states use for non-restricted semi-automatics. Among semi-automatic rifles in the semi-auto rifles category, the SU-16CA favors compliance-state shooters who want a folding 5.56 rifle from KelTec.
