PLR16 is a .223 pistol designed for short and medium range hunting and self-defense. For reactive shooting, it’s typically stabilized by pushing out against the sling. For longer range, use a bipod or some improvised support. 9.2″ barrel provides muzzle velocity of 2600fps, so controlled expansion ammunition would be ideal for defense.
As shown: Midwest Industries forend, Magpul AFG, Battlecomp brake to reduce muzzle climb, Primary Arms micro green reflex sight, Viridian X5L light/laser. Eventually, I’d like to get a tax stamp and add a short folding stock. Then it would be relatively quiet and still balance well.
Looks like it could really benefit from a .300 Blackout or 6×35 barrel, much more energy than a .223 out of a short barrel.
Yes, this weapon with a .300 AAC Blackout barrel would be perfect! Wonder if Keltec will be offering them?
That could almost be Ellie from the “Tomorrow, When the War Began” series, except that she wouldn’t have goggles, and wouldn’t be likely to show herself so openly by daylight.

Pretty sure you need a tax stamp for the vertical fore grip on the PLR16. It makes it an AOW per the ATF.
I would be a little nervous with the front grip and no stamp.
See the last page in this ATF ruling: they say that adding an AFG to a pistol doesn’t require a tax stamp.
Any chance that forend would also work on an SU-16C…?
Yes, it does.
Also wondering if it fits the KSG.
It does but a true vertical grip works much better.
I keep thinking I need a PLR16 for a truck gun. Thanks for making it the subject of this set.
What about the muzzle blast? I assume .223 is usually loaded so it burns up in 15-20 ” barrels.
I don’t get it. In the same time it’d take to use that sling for stabilization, one could easily extend a collapsible stock. Why just a sling? Isn’t a stock better?
One has to admit this seems a slightly better idea than the Mosin obrez, though.
Adding a stock would requite a $200 NFA tax stamp and waiting for a background check…and short barreled rifles are banned in some states entirely.
Which is more importantly why I feel Kel-Tec needs to hurry it up with a 5.56 version of the RFB!
Ah. Thanks.
I should’ve guessed legal madness was the cause.
The muzzle blast is pretty stout(like getting slapped on the ear) there are a few muzzle brakes that tame it a bit.
and with that, my p22 will no longer be a aow.
I love this pistol it is perfect for a trunk gun when rifles are not allowed and you have a concelled pistol license. just in case it goes down in the most dangerous city in the U.S.
