Kel-Tec Su-22 Underfold 22lr 16" 16-Round Rifle

The Keltec Su-22 Underfold 22lr 15+1 16" is a purpose-built semi-automatic rifle engineered for shooters who demand compact firepower without sacrificing capacity or reliability. Chambered in .22 LR, this platform delivers an ideal balance of low recoil, minimal noise signature, and affordable ammunition costs—making it suitable for training, sport shooting, pest control, or home defense applications where over-penetration is a liability. The underfold stock design collapses to just over 16 inches overall length, allowing for storage and transport in tight quarters while maintaining a full-length sight radius and ergonomic controls.

Built with proven Keltec engineering, the Su-22 features a 16-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel in matte black finish, paired with a collapsible underfold stock in matching matte black for a cohesive, professional appearance. The 15+1 round capacity—fed by a reliable single-stack magazine—provides realistic engagement scenarios without excessive magazine changes. The matte black finish resists reflections and corrosion, while the underfold mechanism employs a smooth hinge that locks firmly in both extended and collapsed positions, ensuring zero movement under firing. This design approach keeps the receiver centered for consistent sight-in and accuracy, a critical detail often overlooked in subcompact platforms.

Law enforcement and military personnel have long recognized .22 LR platforms as essential training tools for developing fundamental marksmanship before moving to higher-recoil duty cartridges. The Su-22's compact profile and low report make it ideal for indoor range work, while its lightweight construction (approximately 3.6 lbs) reduces shooter fatigue during extended practice sessions. Civilian sport shooters benefit from the same ergonomic advantages: the underfold design works seamlessly with standard optic mounts, and the collapsible stock accommodates shooters of varying builds. Magazine interchangeability and parts availability through Keltec's established distribution network ensure long-term support and ease of maintenance for committed operators.
