Controls and interface include a right-side, reciprocating charging handle and a cross-bolt safety. Sighting equipment consists of a protected front post and a receiver-top Picatinny rail segment.
This rifle is made in the United States and marked Cocoa, Florida on the receiver. It is part of the SU-16 series and the SU-16A variant noted here maintains the model’s lightweight, packable profile with practical features for field use.
