Re: Show Us Your SU-22 Pictures!
I bought serial number 8x, part of the initial production build of 100, on August 15th, 2008. I paid $308.62, and the delivered cost out the door was $327.14 cash.
I wasted no time putting on the Charlie under folder stock I had left over from converting my SU-16C into the pistol grip AR version, and I love the lightweight underfolding SU-22C.
The vertical foregrip was a passing phase, and even though it was fun, I no longer have it on there.
I still like the Tru-Glo 4X32 scope. It makes accurate shooting much easier for my old eyes, and was thus deemed worth the weight and the larger size. I want to keep this as small and light as possible for easy packing.
I've shot countless rounds through my SU-22C. It's about all I've been shooting the last year or so. It's held up well over thousands of rounds. I did sand off the lower lip on the ejection port, ever so slightly, to avoid empty brass bouncing back in and jamming and it's been a sweet shooter ever since... accurate and completely trouble free. Kel-Tec machines the ejection port for you after the first batch of SU-22 rifles, and they also re-profiled the feed ramp for greater reliability, not that I've had a problem with that.
My SU-22C didn't like any "loose bullet" .22 LR ammo such as Remington Golden Bullet when it was new, but now seems OK with it after an extensive break-in. It loves the cheap Federal bulk pack ammo, the cheapest Blazer bulk pack, and lots of other ammo.
No matter what the configuration, the SU-22 is a very fun little .22, and it's surprisingly accurate, about 2 MOA, even with cheap bulk pack ammo. I hope to halve that five shot group size with good ammo and shooting off a bench.
