SHOT Show 09: Kel-Tec 308 Ver 2.0

[BimmerFreak]

We played with this gun at SHOT 07, and it looks like it will finally be ready for sale in the coming months(s)

I cant find my pictures from 2 years ago, but the current version looks to be much more refined, simplified, and less costly.

We have 20 of these on order, with an estimated sale price of ~ $1400.00

[G27]

Ooh, me likey! That's also about $400 cheaper than I had heard they thought they would sell.

But it's not a Tavor

[G27]

But it's not a Tavor

Indeed, but it is a .308...

[Smith]

I sure like those. With the new price point i like them a whole lot better! So you know how easy they are to change barrels or when they are going to release the 6.8 platform?

As I understand, they are dropping the plug and play barrel swap option.

This is part of the reason for the decrease in cost, as this was an expensive option.

[Magiccarpetrides]

Let us know when they hit...im definitely gonna find a way to get one of those.

I don't remember the title of this thread being SHOT Show 09: Tavor do you?

Wow, those are looking great!

I can't wait to read some reviews about them.

Are they still incorporating the forward ejection I have heard about?

Yes, it still features the forward ejection.

Joe: What's your opinion of the keltec build quality? I'm planning to buy a .308 semi-auto. I was leaning towards the SA Socom m1a, PTR or DPMS AR. Where the Keltec fall on your list???

[dralarms]

Ooh Ooh Ooh, I want one (in a thick NY accent).

[G27]

Drools...

[Guest tedbo]

Curious as to what type of mags-ar,fn or m-14?

[G27]

10 or 20 round FAL.

:koolaid:DANG!!! Something Wicked this way comes!!! That is definitely eviling looking! Glad I Bough my M14 last week or else other things would be sailing out the gun chest in order to purchase one of those!!! I wish they used M14 mags though. We might see a new supply of them come on the market!

I think I'm reasonably certain that Mr. Schummer of New York ain't going to like these things one bit! He's a pile of !

Yeah rumor is that there were 4 bystanders found dead near the Kel-Tec booth.

I guess I would put the Kel-Tec at the bottom on that particular list, but thats just me.

Man that look a lot like the Walther WA-2000 without the cabinetry. Looks pretty sweet. Wonder what the range and accuracy are like?

I looked at some of my distributors and only one of them has them listed, but not in stock yet. Also it was only listed/pictured with a 18" barrel and a scope, bipod, etc.

Not interested in a 18". Now a 16" would be okay and would use the same mags my FAL uses.

Pretty sure if it was a 16" the overall would be to short.

[Guest 153blue]

might sell one of my ar's to get one of these...

[Guest c.a.s.]

......You suck. Why does everything cool have to come when when I can't legally buy it, OR afford it!? Guess I should save up now and home my luck holds out for the two years I'd have to wait.

This rifle is VERY compact with it's 18" barrel and you wouldnt accomplish anything (except for loss of velocity) by going to an even shorter barrel.

Anyone that thinks it needs to be shorter should wait until they actually have one in their hands to decide this, as you will be surprised how compact it really is.
